Love Island UK winner Lorenzo makes big commitment to Julia following tension
After an awkward interview on This Morning and being caught out liking female models' photos on Instagram, Love Island winner Lorenzo Alessi has now made it clear he’s serious.
The businessman, 28, won the ITV dating show by a landslide last month with Julia Majchrzak, 26, after the pair met during Casa Amor.
Now, after being out of the Mallorca villa for over a week, Lorenzo has decided to prove his commitment by doing the modern-day equivalent of declaring your love - deleting Hinge.
The reality TV star posted a screenshot to his Instagram story of the app asking why he’s deciding to leave, overlaid with the song ‘Baby’ by Murda Beatz and Prospa.

He followed it up with a black-and-white, blurry photo of Julia on a date at The Ned in London.
It comes after the Love Islander found himself in hot water off the back of his win, when the duo appeared on This Morning on Monday (3 August).
Julia outed her fellow winner for not having arranged a date or seen her in five days, publicly grilling him on when it was going to happen.
“Where’s my date? It’s been five days. I’m still waiting,” she joked.
To which Lorenzo said: “Look, the date has got a lot of planning involved and stuff. Good things come to those who wait.”
At the same time, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Lorenzo had been liking Instagram models' photos and were quick to call him out on it.
Addressing the situation on Capital Xtra, Julie joked: “Guys, this is not funny. He's already embarrassed me online... He had no time to arrange a date in five days, but was sat in bed liking other girls' Instagram pictures."
Meanwhile, Lorenzo excused his actions by explaining that he’s ‘learning how to be in a committed relationship’ and admitted it was ‘pure naivety’.
He said: "This is the thing. I feel like why I didn't want to rush things in the villa... We're not running around getting married tomorrow. I'm learning how to be in a committed relationship, and I'm learning what is acceptable and what is not.
“To be 100% honest, it was pure naivety. I did not think it would be picked up by the press... These are now real-world things that we can experience together.”
Then, Julia even pulled out her own phone and checked whether Lorenzo had liked her own pictures, revealing that he hadn’t.
She jokingly questioned: “Did you even have time to like my photos? Guess what guys, he’s not under my Instagram!”
However, it does seem like, despite a rocky start, things seem to be going well for the winners now.
They’ve now both popped up on each other's Instagram Stories multiple times, and have seemingly enjoyed a few date nights, as they continue seeing each other ‘exclusively’.
