LOVE Island's Lucinda Strafford was caught in a blazing row with a billionaire businessman on the beach in Mexico.
The reality TV beauty was spotted looking furious with her holiday companion - weeks after she revealed her new romance with a mystery man.
The Sun's exclusive photos show them locked in a heated moment following weeks of clues she is dating again.
Lucinda, 25, appeared to storm away from Australian businessman Huayi Huang after spending the afternoon with him relaxing on sunbeds at a posh hotel.
Huayi, a solicitor and the owner of online fashion firm Peppermayo, followed Lucinda, who is one his brand ambassadors.
A source told The Sun: “She is away with the brand and good friends with Huayi Huang but things appeared to get little bit heated.
“They were seen exchanging words before Lucinda got up and stormed off.”
When approached for a comment, Love Island star Lucinda told The Sun: "Huayi and I are just friends and there was no row.
"To put the pictures into some context I was just annoyed over my phone."
The former Islander has been showing off gifts sent to her in huge hints that she's got a new mystery man.
In February the former Islander shared a cryptic TikTok holding a bouquet of flowers at the top of a snowy French ski slope, in response to a fan’s comment.
She was expected to enter the All Stars villa this year - but pulled out at the last minute.
The message had read: "Wait, you were meant to be on Love Island and all of a sudden someone's buying you flowers????" referencing a previous post of hers.
Lip-syncing to Kendrick Lamar’s Swimming Pools (Drank), Lucinda appeared to confirm she’s moved on swiftly - sparking speculation about her mystery new love interest.
Taking to her Instagram grid, Lucinda continued to pose from the Courchevel Ski Resort, writing: "a valentines to remember.." in her caption.
A source previously told The Sun that Lucinda had been keen to return to the Love Island villa but grew frustrated with the lengthy holding period before entering.
They said: "Lucinda was asked to come and do Love Island again and she was really ready to give it another go.
"But she ended up being in holding for too long and wasn't happy about it.
"She decided it would be too late for her to go in and make a connection.
"It was a tough call but she decided to head home.
"She thinks it's for the best and this season just wasn't for her."
Lucinda later shared a very cryptic post, confirming this year's All Stars "wasn't for her".
A video of her in a car beaming with excitement and happiness was shared on TikTok with a defiant message.
The clip had writing over the top of it which read: "Respectfully, this is how it feels knowing Love Island All Stars is not for you this year."
It certainly got tongues wagging in the comment section, with one person saying: "The mountain in the background looks familiar, are you sure??"
