VIRGIN Media viewers said Lodging With Lucy is “exactly what we need” after the government’s announcement about the Level 5 restrictions.
Lodging With Lucy was on at a later time tonight as there was a special announcement from the government about the new Level 5 restrictions.
On tonight’s episode, Lucy Kennedy was joined in the Meath mansion by Love Island star Greg O’Shea and his family.
During the episode tonight, Greg dished the dirt on his time on Love Island, his Olympic dreams and the nasty side of social media.
Viewers also got an inside track on the man himself from his sporty mum and dad and Lucy attempted to break the internet by putting Greg on a dating website.
During the show, Greg revealed that he received death threats and even his mum was sent abuse after he broke up with Amber Gill following their Love Island win last year.
GREG AND LUCY
His Irish charm and easy going nature won over Amber and they coupled up and were then crowned winners.
But when Greg refused to move to London and do the usual Love Island circuit because he wanted to train with the Ireland rugby sevens team, he said he knew it wasn’t going to work out.
He said: “I’d training starting in the middle of August and I’d just got out of Love Island, I’ve to get back for training, I’m trying to get to the Olympics.
“And then I got home, I was like, ‘Look Amber, honestly, how do you see this playing out?’
“In my head, I just knew this relationship isn’t going to happen, it just can’t, it’s not going to function.
“She was like, ‘Yeah but we should be going out, we won Love Island’. I said, ‘Look I don’t know how we can do this. I think we should just stop now before it gets too deep’.
‘THREW ALL THE TOYS’
“She threw all the toys out of the pram, she was not happy at all about that.
“Then people went away and started selling stories saying I broke up with her over text.
“First of all, it wasn’t a text because it was phone calls back and forth and FaceTime.
“There’s no point coming out in the media and saying that because people aren’t going to believe you.”
Virgin Media viewers flocked to Twitter following the episode as they praised Greg and Lucy.
