Belle Hassan has revealed that she and former Love Island contestant Joe Garratt exchanged flirtatious messages before both appearing on the All Stars season. Belle described Joe as her close friend and a source of comfort. Despite trying to maintain a platonic relationship, Belle confessed that they occasionally engage in playful flirting.
In an interview with The Mirror, Belle expressed her fondness for Joe, emphasizing that their friendship has always remained platonic due to their previous relationship statuses. She humorously mentioned their rule of refraining from flirting before 10 pm.
Belle’s father, Tamer Hassan, recently expressed his pride in his daughter and humorously mentioned his overprotectiveness when it comes to her romantic relationships.
Joe Garratt, who previously coupled up with Lucie Donlan on the show, was unexpectedly eliminated from the villa during the All Stars series. In a post-elimination interview, Joe discussed his decision to choose Arabella over Molly Smith during a recoupling, highlighting his desire to let love naturally unfold.
Joe reflected on his short-lived experience on the show, mentioning that his time in the villa had come to an end. Love Island: All Stars is set to premiere on ITV2 and ITVX on Monday at 9 pm.
