LOVE Island fans catch Lucie Donlan out as she “pretends” not to know newbie Danny Williams.
The 21-year-old model appeared on the ITV2 show on Sunday, but didn’t officially enter the villa until last night’s episode, which saw him meet all of the Islanders, including the 21-year-old surfer.
When Danny stepped into the garden with Amber and was introduced to fellow Islanders, eagle eyed viewers noticed Lucie hesitated to get up and talk to him.
As she hugged the newcomer, she said: “Nice to meet you.”
But the pair already know eachother, as she dated Love Island 2018 contestant Charlie Frederick, who was pals and modelled with Danny in the past.
Viewers were quick to pick up on the awkward encounter and Lucie trying to conceal the fact she knows him.
However, an insider has insisted the pair have never met before and have a mutual connection, Charlie.
One watcher tweeted: “Did Lucie actually say “nice to meet you” to Danny when they knew eachother before #LoveIsland as Danny is friends with Lucie’s ex Charlie from last year.”
Another wrote: “I thought Lucie knew Danny… ‘nice to meet you.'”
A separate social media user shared: “Danny is obviously friends with Charlie from last year because they are both models so I don’t think he will go for Lucie would be really weird to be with your friends ex.”

Love Island
A separate confused watcher shared: “I thought Lucie and Danny knew each other but they just greeted each other like they didn’t? #loveisland”, with another adding: “Why did Lucie just pretend she didn’t know Danny.”
Another social media user tweeted: “I thought Danny was meant to be pals with Lucie’s ex why they acting like they don’t know each other.”
“Danny. He’s Charlie (from last years) friend and Lucie used to go out with Charlie til January this year”, wrote another.
Another questioned: “Why are Danny and lucie pretending they don’t know each other like danny isn’t bestfriends with her ex.”
While other viewers are anticipating the moment it is revealed Lucie – who is coupled up with Joe – and Danny know each other.
A separate fan took to Twitter and shared: “Very much waiting for Lucie to come out about knowing Danny to see if she’s really a snake or not #loveisland.”
