A hidden Love Island feud has reportedly been exposed after stars of the summer series gathered for an overdue reunion.
Over the weekend, former Islanders reconnected at a lavish nightclub to celebrate their success on the 11th series of the ITV reality show. But one familiar face was noticeably missing from the festivities.
Nothern beauty Jess White appeared to skip the reunion, and now fans believe she had a feud with a contestant in the villa that fans missed out on. The TV favourite delivered plenty of camera-worthy moments on the dating programme, and famously coined the phrase ‘I’m the prize!’ during a row with Harriett Blackmore.

Jess and Harriett caused absolute chaos on the show when they battled it out for Ronnie Vint’s attention. It’s fair to say the pair dished out several cruel jabs and snarky comments in the process.

On Saturday (August 3), the 25-year-old tuned down a Love Island reunion with Harriett, Nicole Samuels, Matilda Draper and Uma Jammeh. But it has been reported Harriett wasn’t the only star Jess had beef with in the villa.
A source told The Sun how Jess had a frosty war with another girl on the show as she fiercely protected her fellow OG girl and ultimate series winner Mimii Ngulube. The insider told the publication: “Jess Spencer was at the reunion and Jess White isn’t a fan of her at all.
“She actually made her cry by being horrible after Ayo Odukoya brought her back from Casa Amor. Viewers didn’t see it but Jess S was in floods of tears immediately after the recoupling.

“She felt the OG girls and in particular Jess White made it clear she wasn’t welcome, they were giving her dirty looks and refusing to speak to her. Digs were flying around and Jess S was being made to look like the villain.”
During her time on the show, fans branded her a “bully” but the retail manager insisted she has been a friend to all of her fellow islanders throughout the series. Following her exit, Jess – who hails from Stockport – claimed she will be “friends for life” with her fellow co-stars.
She said: “I’m a people’s person, that’s my job, so I knew I’d get on with everybody. This journey has taught me to never underestimate how important friendships are.”
During the weekend festivities, Harriett was seen dancing with Jess S as the girls bonded after leaving the show. It appeared as though Jess S has forgiven Harriett for almost booting her from the show.

Before the final, a collection of ex-Islanders returned to the villa to shar their thoughts at which couple should make it to the end, and steal the £50k prize. Harriett and some of her other co-stars picked Ayo Odukoya due to his failure to politely cut ties with former partner Mimii.
But Joey Essex and Jessy Potts were ultimately sent packing after the former TOWIE star built up several enemies during the course of the show. Mimii went on to be crowned the winner alongside partner Josh Oyinsan.
Meanwhile, Jess White left Love Island with Hugo Godfrey but they decided to call it quits days later. Want all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox? Sign up for our free Daily Star Showbiz newsletter.
