How does she describe herself?
Lucinda says she's a "relationship girl" adding: "The timing is right and I want to have some fun."
When it comes to how she feels about snogging on camera, she said: "I’m fine about it. It’s only just laughs. I do think to myself, my whole family are at home watching, but then again it’s literally just a laugh. I’m 21, I’m just having fun."
Which footballer did she date?
Lucinda dated Brighton & Hove Albion winger Aaron Connolly. According to The Sun, the pair have been getting closer in recent weeks and he's not pleased about her going on the show.
A source said: "He was seeing other people and she was jealous, but over the past few months they’ve been seeing each other, going for dinner and reconciling and now he’s found out about Love Island he’s very upset.‘In the last few weeks they’ve been in each other’s pockets, but the TV show will change all that."
Who does Lucinda like in the villa?
Jake's head might turn for Lucinda in the villa but it's apparently it's Brad and Liam, she has her eye on.
She revealed: "I really fancy Brad. And then possibly Liam. But obviously I’m open to getting to know any of the other boys.
"I feel like Brad probably doesn’t like people as much as he’s letting on."
Asked of what she thinks of the girls, she replied: "Liberty’s a similar age to me, so I think I’ll probably get along with her, she seems funny. I like Kaz, she seems really bubbly. I can tell Faye can stand up for herself, but I also quite like that about her. So I don’t feel like we’ll rub against each other.
"There’s none that I think that I won’t get along with just yet. But I’ll need to be with them 24/7 to know if I will get along with them or not."
Love Island continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox
