Episode 12 Highlights: “Tension on the Terrace”

The arrival of bombshells Curtis Pritchard and Lucinda Strafford continues to shake the villa, and Episode 12 showed just how unsettled things have become.

The biggest moment of the night centred on Lucinda and Ciaran. After Lucinda stole Ciaran from Samie at the latest recoupling, the pair headed to the terrace for a private, flirt-heavy chat. The rest of the Islanders watched closely, and the mood quickly turned tense as whispers spread across the villa.

Lucinda then added fuel to the fire by opening up about her past with Millie Court. She revealed that the two were once “best friends” but are now caught in an unresolved fallout. Millie, meanwhile, hasn’t been holding back. She has already dumped her previous partner, making it clear she is open to exploring new connections.

Curtis Pritchard also made his presence known. He turned heads by moving closer to Millie and even offered to share her bed. Curtis told the group he is now looking to “settle down and have a family,” a statement that raised eyebrows among both Islanders and viewers, with some questioning his timing and intentions.

Tensions from earlier in the week also refused to fade. A heated game of “Never Have I Ever” continues to cast a shadow, with Whitney, Shaq and Jess still dealing with the fallout from a bitter argument that erupted around the firepit.
