The former 'Love Island' winner has weighed in after Sunday night's (16.06.19) episode, which saw Joe admit he has his "doubts" about her being close with their fellow islander rather than the other girls in the villa.
Dani - who won the ITV2 dating show with then boyfriend Jack Fincham last year - tweeted: "Just wanna give Lucie a cuddle they need to chill out leave the girl alone"
And Amber Daves - who triumphed in the villa alongside Kem Cetinay in 2017 - also leaped to Lucie's defence on social media.
She wrote: "Joe can you please just like Lucie for LUCIE and not who you want her to be. Thank you x"
During the episode, Joe was seen in the Beach Hut ranting about the friendship and claiming the blonde beauty's behaviour is unfair.
He said: "Lucie and Tommy always go off and have little chats. I know they're just friends but it's strange. She knows it'll be affecting me. She's not really caring that much."
The pair did have a conversation about the situation, as he told her: "The whole thing with Tommy, it is strange. You were with him for a good hour."
However, Lucie pointed out that it's just an platonic friendship, and that there is nothing going on between her and Tommy.
She added: "Yes because I get on with him better than the girls. It doesn't mean there is a romantic thing there."
Despite the drama, Joe still chose Lucie in the recoupling over the weekend, and he ultimately decided to stay with her and "see how this goes".
