LOVE Island fans are convinced they've sussed the real reason underpinning Helena Ford's explosive feud with bombshell Toni Laites.
The clash between the ITV2 show beauties kicked off last week when former air hostess Helena, 29, began making moves on US-based Toni's man Harrison Solomon, 22.

Helena and Harrison scooted off to the Hideaway - reserved for duos who are not coupled up - and Helena was promptly branded a "sneak b***h" by her love rival.
This came before Helena and Harrison then locked lips.
Shortly afterwards, Toni, 24, dumped Harrison over his "sneaky" smooch - yet her decision, and fury at his conduct - sparked all out chaos in the villa.
Nearly all the Love Island cast became involved in one way or another.
Shakira had a go at Harrison for not being truthful to Toni about how he feels about Helena.
Then Meg, Helena, and Remell separately, questioned why Shakira was getting involved in the argument.
Later, Shakira then gave Harrison a piece of her mind about his behaviour.
As the drama rumbled on - and left Toni in tears - those watching at home reckon they know the real reason for her sadness.
Some have suggested that Helena doesn't really like Harrison - and is using him as a way to remain in the matchmaking series.

One took to Reddit to comment underneath a thread that read: "Helena kissing Harrison for 5 minutes of validation," suggesting the blonde was "faking" it.
They then commented on their theory and said: "It seems she needed some quick validation and decided to kiss 22 year old Harrison with his school boy crush on her. You could tell she was barely into their kiss.
"Helena is of course free to do what she wants to do, but was it really worth ending Toni’s first proper feelings in the house for 5 minutes of validation from a 22 year old?
"We all know Helena is not moving to America to start a relationship with college boy Harrison after the show."
A second agreed and put: "I think thats what made Toni so mad at Helena. Because its obvious Helena isn’t really into Harrison, she just can’t have Harry and Giorgio is too boring but she needs to be partnered with someone.
"So having 'your partner' essentially be taken by a girl who doesn’t even want him as got to be frustrating as f**k."
A third noted: "I don’t think Toni expressed it the best way but this is essentially what she was getting at."
One then quipped: "Helena kissed Harrison because she wants to have her hot girl summer."
Yet another fan stucjk up for Helena and put: "Sure, what Helena did was sh***y, but it's not her fault Harrison isn't feeling Toni.
"If it wasn't Helena, it would have been another woman."
Helena and Harrison shared their first kiss in the spin-off villa room last week - sparking the drama in its entirety.
Inside the Hideaway Terrace, viewers heard Harrison tell Helena: “We could be in trouble after tonight.”
She told him: “It’s the risk you’ve got to take sometimes.”
“Are you willing to take that risk though?” he asked.
Helena then replied: “I’ve got nothing to lose.”
After they returned to the garden Harrison and Toni talk at the Firepit.
She tells him: “We just went on a f***ing date yesterday and you’re already going to the Hideaway with another girl.”
Following the row, Shakira gives Harrison a piece of her mind about his behaviour.
She says: “I don’t know what planet you’re on, you’ve obviously upset the girl, you know what reaction it was going to have…”
Toni then refused to accept Harrison's apology and promptly dumped him.
