The 24-year-old luxury events host has been flirting with the 21-year-old online fashion boutique owner ever since her former partner Brad McClelland was dumped from the ITV2 reality show last week.

And even though they’re still not in an official couple, the pair shared their first kiss in scenes aired on Monday (19.07.21) night.

Aaron and Lucinda had previously shared two kisses during the ‘Snog, Marry, Pie’ challenge earlier in the episode when they both chose to snog each other, but at the end of the episode they cuddled together by the fire pit and had their first kiss outside of a challenge.

Before their kiss, Lucinda jokingly asked: “Have you ever actually been in a relationship in here? What have you been doing?”

And Aaron replied: “I was with Sharon [Gaffka] for a bit. About as long as you and Brad [were together].”

Lucinda then questioned why Aaron was interested in her because she’s “nothing like Sharon”, to which Aaron explained: “Well I ended it with Sharon after a couple of days, I don’t know if you noticed. But I mean look, a lot of things have happened, and I’m happy it ended up like this.”

And the pair will be anxiously awaiting the next re-coupling, as they’ll be wanting to make things official between them.

Lucinda said: “I’m happy as well. Good things come to those who wait.”

Currently, Aaron is in a friendship couple with Kaz Kamwi, and Lucinda is in a couple with new arrival Danny Bibby.

Danny and Lucinda had been getting to know each other, but realised in Monday’s episode that although they both find the other physically attractive, there’s no spark between them.

‘Love Island’ continues on Tuesday (20.07.21) night at 9pm on ITV2 and the ITV Hub, where the results of the public vote for the favourite girl and favourite boy will be announced.

The girl and boy with the least amount of votes risk being dumped from the villa.
