It looks like there could be more trouble in store for Winter Islanders Rebecca Gormley and Biggs Chris. Whilst they seemed to have been delighted to be reunited this Sunday after spending 10 weeks apart in lockdown, it has now been revealed that Biggs had been messaging another woman through lockdown.

Healthcare assistant Caitlin Fulton told The Sun:
We’d been messaging back and forth after he followed me on Instagram and we’d talked about going away when lockdown ended, to a holiday cottage or a lodge somewhere in the UK. He even left me a voicenote saying that coming down to see me "sounded good". We were making plans as recently as Saturday.
Caitlin said she was ‘shocked’ to see photos of Biggs and Rebecca kissing in Newcastle on Sunday, saying that she didn’t know that he had a girlfriend. Neither Biggs nor Rebecca has yet commented on Caitlin’s claims but Biggs shared a video of Rebecca packing his suitcase today, suggesting that the couple are still doing well.
Although they never coupled up whilst they were in the villa together, Biggs Chris and Rebecca Gormley decided to revisit their spark after leaving the show. The couple went on a series of dates together in March before being separated by the UK’s coronavirus lockdown regulations and pals said they had been growing closer despite not being able to see each other.
Biggs and Rebecca had previously split briefly when Rebecca ended up in fellow ex-Islander Michael Griffiths’ room after a drunken night out – but both insisted that nothing happened between them and Biggs was quick to forgive Rebecca, especially since they hadn’t yet become an official couple at the time.
