“I kind of want to just travel. Not as much, I want to buy a house …
"Apart from that maybe find a boyfriend. I think this is the time when I should probably have one. I dunno, I’m 25.”
Grace reassured her: “You have time!”
A source told The Sun earlier this year: "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."
They added: "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 also appeared to address her U-turn in a video on TikTok, saying: "If something feels off, it most definitely is off, you know yourself more than anyone else.
"So definitely make sure to trust your gut. Also, if things are out of your control, let it have freedom of your mind, there's nothing you can do about it."
Elsewhere on Grace's pod, the I'm A Celeb star quizzed Lucinda on her loyalty and asked if she'd ever been unfaithful in a relationship.
Lucinda responded: "What would you say is cheating? Is messages cheating? OK. Then yeah.
"Well like, I'm not going to lie, the thing is that I've had certain ex boyfriends that have gone on this whole thing of me 'cheating' and it was literally two messages that were not very flirty at all just 'nice to see you' messages.
"And then we did argue and I apologised and that was that.
"I personally don't think they're cheating. I didn't hide them.
"It was something like next time a guy messages me I am going to be honest and say by the way this guy messaged me, and I messaged him back it was very short.
"I've learned from my mistakes."
Lucinda shot to fame when she appeared on the reality-dating show in 2021.
As an islander in season seven, Lucinda entered as a bombshell on day nine before being dumped on day 28.
During her time on the show Lucinda was coupled up with three different guys including Danny Bibby, Brad McClelland and Aaron Francis.
