Love Island fans work out bombshell Lolly’s ‘game plan’ after spotting ‘clever’ move during hideaway date
LOVE Island fans reckon that have worked out new bombshell Lolly’s ‘game plan’, just minutes into her arrival.
Viewers praised a ‘clever’ move she made during her chat with Ciaran, who was one of the three boys she invited for a hideaway date.
Lolly’s arrival caused quite the stir tonight, when her presence was announced via a text to Joey’s phone.
He announced to the villa that the newcomer was waiting in the hideaway and would invite three boys for a one-on-one date.
Joey was first up, followed by Konnor and then Ciaran was picked for the third and final outing.
While the choice of picking Ciaran proved controversial, given how he and Nicole are the only ones closed off in the villa, it appeared initially like Lolly was fighting a losing game by trying to turn the head of one of the most loyal lads on the show.
But fans were quick to notice a power move that Lolly pulled out the bag during her chat with Ciaran: she complimented him on how mature he was for his age.
“I just feel like, not to patronise your age at all, but I feel like, for a 21 year-old, you hold yourself well,” Lolly told him.
“Thank you very much, I appreciate that,” responded a clearly-chuffed Ciaran.
Fans believe it was a clever move for Lolly to say this, considering how Ciaran has frequently had his age used against him by others in the villa.
Taking to X, formerly twitter, one viewer commented: “The 21 year old comment was SO SMART. she knowssss ciaran is sensitive about his age. i see your game miss lolly.”
A second echoed: “Lolly is so sweet. Complimenting Ciaran about his age.”
A third noted: “Lolly the first girl to compliment Ciaran’s age.”
And a fourth added: “Lolly hit a soft spot for Ciaran when she told him he was mature for his age.”
It remains to be seen, however, whether Lolly can succeed in turning anyone’s head as a late arrival.
The 30 year-old from Leicestershire works as long-haul cabin crew.
“I feel like Love Island is my last resort at this point, it’s something I’ve thought about for a while as I’ve just turned 30 and been single a long time, so it’s time to find a husband,” she told ITV in a pre-villa interview.
” I don’t want a boyfriend, I want to move on with my life and settle down with the right guy.”
Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
