LOVE Island fans were left stunned on Thursday night as an All Stars hunk and his family threw shade at his villa ex.
Ciaran Davies, 23, is currently in the All Stars villa and totally smitten with Samie Elishi, 26.
The Welsh hunk was previously loved up with Nicole Samuel, his ex, whom he met on Love Island in the summer of 2024.
Lasting for four months outside of the villa, the pair called it quits in December 2024.
But despite things being over between the pair for quite some time, Ciraran and his family seemingly threw shade at Nicole during the most recent instalment of the reality-dating show.
Speaking to his mum Hayley and sister Caitlin via a video call, Ciaran acknowledged how he usually falls in love too quickly.

Ciaran told his family that he doesn’t want to be like he has been in the past where he “sort of jumped in, head over heels,” he noted.
When Ciaran said this, his mum’s eyes widened.
The Welsh hunk then said he wants to make sure he gets it right because he really likes Samie.
His mum then quipped: “So you haven’t declared your undying love or anything?”
Ciaran laughed and said: “No, no.”
His mum then added how Ciaran does have a tendency to “fall in love too quickly.”
Fans spotted the subtle shade thrown at his ex Nicole, who he said “I love you” to on week three of their Love Island experience.
Reacting to the exchange, one fan said on X: “Not the shade to Nicole, Ciaran’s ex.”
“Ciaran’s mum throwing shade at Nicole there,” penned a second.
While a third noted: “Nicole shade ??”
The first news of the Ciraran and Nicole’s split came in December 2024 with a confirmation that Ciaran and Nicole had parted ways “on amicable terms” four months after leaving the villa.
A representative for the pair told us at the time: “Over the last couple of days Nicole and Ciaran have made the mutual decision to part ways.
“They have left the relationship on amicable terms, and will remain good friends going forward.”
Following the split Nicole quickly unfollowed Ciaran and deleted pictures of him from her social media, hinting that things were less than friendly between them after their split.
In the current series of All Stars, Ciaran was initially paired with Samie before becoming involved in a love triangle with newcomer Lucinda Strafford.
After a brief split from Samie, Ciaran reaffirmed his commitment to her, and the pair are now together as the series nears the end of the season.
