‘I'm hoping Luke will pop the question this year!'

Former Love Island star Lucie Donlan on her happy relationship, dreams of an engagement and dealing with trolls

She soared to fame as the blonde surfer babe from Newquay on 2019’s Love Island, and now Lucie Donlan tells us she’s living the dream.

When we sit down with a cuppa to speak to the 22-year-old over the phone, we’re dying to find out all the gossip about how things are going with her boyfriend Luke Mabbott, who was on Love Island last year.

Luke, 25, finished the show in third place with Demi Jones, 22, and after they parted ways last May, Luce slid into his DMs.

The adorable couple have now been smitten for six months.

“He knows I’m ready for a ring on my finger,” she admits. “I love spending every minute with him.”

Here, Lucie opens up even more about dreamboat Luke, says she was trolled for putting on weight in the Love Island villa, and reveals she’s bought a gorgeous new home…

Lucie, you and Luke are couple goals!

[Laughs] We’ve been together six months now and it’s been a dream. I never thought I’d meet someone like him. He’s a best friend as well as a boyfriend. Luke is so calm and caring. I love spending every minute with him.

So, is Luke The One?

Definitely! When you know, you know.

Could an engagement be on the cards in 2021?

I hope so [laughs]!

You must have told him you’re ready for a ring…

Absolutely! He knows that.

Exciting! You went on a great trip towards the end of 2020…
