LOVE Island’s Ron Hall and Chuggs Wallis have waded into Grace Jackson’s ‘screenshots’ row as the feuding cast take sides over Olivia Hawkins’ shock claims.
During last night’s episode, Liv, 29, made a surprise comeback to the South African villa, weeks after she was dumped – and while back, she dropped a massive bombshell about Grace.

The ring girl accused Grace, who is coupled up with Luca Bish, of previously saying she wanted a showmance.
And she claimed to have proof.
Now, Ron and Chuggs have spoken out on the drama on a TikTok Live, insisting that until concrete evidence is produced, the allegations are just speculation.
Ron said: “Final’s over and people have had their phones properly. Until we see the receipts, it didn’t happen.”
Chuggs defended Grace’s character, adding: “Yeah, I can’t imagine Grace saying something like that.”
Ron then weighed in, explaining how emotions run high in the Love Island villa, making any potential remarks insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
He said: “Right, do you know what it is, right, for me, the biggest thing? Even if she did, and I don’t think she did personally, even if she did, I feel like your opinion, and when you catch feelings with someone, the way I know Grace has caught feelings and the way Luca has caught feelings, I actually think it’s the best thing ever.
“But when you…because it’s so intense in there and you can catch feelings, I don’t think it even matters, me personally. I actually don’t.”
Chuggs agreed, adding, “Yeah, I agree with you. And you know, you’re really good mates with Luca as well, and like bonded with him well in the villa, and he’s a very genuine bloke, and he’d see straight through it if they were lying.”
Ron then defended Luca against accusations of clout-chasing, saying, “I’ll tell you one thing for a fact, out of everyone that’s been on All Stars, Luca is, and this is including myself, the least clout-chaser person, because he doesn’t need it. He doesn’t need it.
“We want to do it together, because we enjoy ourselves. He doesn’t need it, he doesn’t care for it.
“The geezer posts literally twice a year, so he doesn’t care, and he’s caught feelings, and I think Grace has as well, so that’s all it is.”
Chuggs wrapped up the discussion, reiterating that until the alleged texts are addressed publicly, there’s no way to know the truth.
He concluded: “Yeah, these text things, until everyone’s come out and they’ve addressed it, what can we say about it? Nothing, nothing.”
The pair then shared their winner predictions, with Ron backing Luca and Grace, while Chuggs placed his bets on Gabby and Casey.
Mitch Taylor and Ella Thomas, however, have both backed Olivia on social media.
“Messy Mitch confirming what Liv said is true on his Snapchat,” penned one person on X.
They also shared a screenshot from Mitch’s Snapchat where he wrote: “Liv low key gutted she’s said that.
“Hats off to her for speaking her mind.
“I can’t say too much, but I heard this story loads in the last two weeks.”
While another person on X said: “And the fact that Ella don’t usually speak on these things, yeah, something is going on,” alongside a video that Ella shared on social media.
“I’m not gonna lie, I believe everything Olivia says,” Ella said as she filmed the chaos going down during last night’s episode.
The dumped star was the first to cast her vote as couples Elma Pazar and Sammy Root, Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint and Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame were up for elimination.
While Liv was back in the villa on Sunday night, she left the Islanders reeling when she said: “So I’ve seen text messages of Grace just saying to someone that she’ll do whatever it takes to win the show this time from someone back home.”
Harriett Blackmore was quick to chime in, telling Grace: “She probably made it up babe, like she did with Ronnie.”
Grace added: “Baby, that is absolutely not true. I do not care about winning this show.”
She then asked Liv who showed her the messages, but she simply replied: “I’ve seen the screenshots. I’m not saying who.”
Harriett then said to Liv: “Babe, you’ve made it up like you’ve made up that Ronnie was into you.
“F***ing go home, honestly. Is she alright?”
Samie Elishi – another former bombshell who had her sights set on Luca – then weighed in.
“We have seen the screenshots,” Samie said.
Grace then added: “On my life, I have never written that sentence in my life. It’s b******t, and someone’s forged that, that’s not true. I am gobsmacked.”
“Liv’s probably texted herself and used it as an answer,” Harriett added, “Babe, we all know you wouldn’t do that.”
