It looks like the villa pair are keeping their past fling a secret from the rest of the crew
ARABELLA Chi enjoyed a secret fling with a Love Island All Stars boy who called her his ‘soulmate’ - but they've failed to mention it.
Joshua Ritchie, 29, boasted about their secret dates three years ago, after the pair took part in MTV's Celeb Ex in the City.

While they weren't on the series at the same time, they appeared to have met after filming wrapped.
And Josh was keen to spill the beans on their romance in an interview soon afterwards.
He told : "Me and Arabella FaceTime each other. Arabella loves me and I love her. We’re lifelong companions… soulmates."
Arabella, 32, who entered as a bombshell after her split with Man City footballer Ruben Dias, stunned fans when she admitted to enjoying a romp with Toby Aromolaran, 24, last year.

She was chatting to Georgia Steel, 25, who also has history with Toby, after a disagreement over their status in the South African villa.
She directly quizzed Arabella if the pair had had sex, to which she agreed, leaving Georgia to roll around the day bed in embarrassment.
After the saucy confession Love Island All Stars fans were left stunned - mainly due to their age gap.
Arabella is 32 and Toby is 24 and one fan noted on X: "How is Toby messing around with Arabella . He is 24 and she’s 32 that’s a huge age gap . Also what do they see in him?"

Another quizzed: "Toby and Arabellas age gap???" as a third noted: "The age gap is something."
Another referred to 17-year-old Brit darts sensation Luke Littler - who recently faced flack for his relationship with an older woman, 21.
They added: "Luke Littler's girlfriends got pure hate for their age gap. Toby would have been 12 when Arabella was 18. Where's the same energy. Rank."
One then wrote on Reddit: "Why would Arabella want Toby ????? The age gap is crazy."
While Arabella was candid in discussing their sexual history, Toby kept things more low-key during a chat with the lads.

The stunning model later left fans confused when she claimed she had never met Chris Taylor - despite being in the same series as him back in 2019.
Meanwhile, the dates of Arabella and Toby's romp have been called into question.
Some eagle-eyed viewers have speculated it indicates they slept together while Toby was dating Chloe Burrows 18 months ago.
Arabella also added fuel to the fire as she revealed they had been texting each other again just "months ago".
