LOVE Island: All Stars may only be two days in, but the connections are already forming between the islanders – particularly for Charlie Frederick.
The personal trainer, 31, has a blossoming romance with 2021 show winner Millie Court, but some fans think the relationship is part of a gameplan and have suggested Charlie isn’t really as interested in her.
During last night’s show, Charlie and Millie shared their first kiss outside of a challenge on the villa’s hideaway terrace – with the latter admitting he makes her “giddy”.
However, some viewers have taken to social media to reveal why they aren’t buying the romance, and have even claimed Charlie sees fan favourite as a “winning ticket”.
Writing on a Love Island Reddit thread, one user wrote: “I also don’t buy that Charlie is that interested in Millie but knows she’s the winning ticket so I want to see them tested.”
A second echoed: “I’m sorry but i don’t care for Charlie and Millie as a couple, Charlie is most likely going to try and lock it down with her very early.”

Others noticed how Charlie hasn’t flirted with many other girls in the villa, making a beeline for Millie on day one.
“100% and mostly bc he knows they all fancy her not bc he rly likes her that much,” said a third user.
Another shared: “Is it just me or does anyone feel like Charlie is putting it on? He hasn’t really got to know anyone other than Millie?
“I feel like they both need to try getting to know other people cause they’re will get bored of each other.”
Despite the sceptics, many fans on X were quick to gush over the couple and declared them a perfect match.
“Millie girlie, I’m so happy for you, you deserve this,” said one user.
While Charlie and Millie were instantly drawn to one another, they aren’t in a couple after the public decided who would be partnered together.
Following the vote, Charlie was partnered with Helena Ford – who he’s got some bad history with – and Millie was paired with Ciaran Davies, who bears a striking resemblance to her ex-boyfriend Liam Reardon.
However, during their trip to the hideaway’s terrace in yesterday’s episode, Millie asked Charlie whether he’d be happy to couple up with her during the next recoupling, which he said yes to.
Talking in the beach hut about Charlie, Millie beamed, saying: “He makes me feel giddy, I can’t help but try to keep my smile in. I haven’t felt like this in a long time.”
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
