"Are you sure? Oh my God," the 24-year-old said to him, before asking: "Do you not think we should go together?"
She added: "Should I stay and see where it takes me? I'm just numb, completely numb."
As Brad packed his belongings and said his goodbyes, fans flocked to Twitter with many confused about Lucinda's teary reaction and why she didn't opt to leave with the 26-year-old labourer from Northumberland.
One fan tweeted: "If he was your dream person why are you not leaving with him #LoveIsland."
Another viewer shared a picture of Theo Every time this type of thing happens like the Lucinda and Brad situation I just remember Theo Campbell from series 3 in 2017, who famously called out Tyla Carr for not leaving with Jonny Mitchell after the pair faced a similar decision. They tweeted: "Every time this type of thing happens like the Lucinda and Brad situation I just remember Theo."

When asked whether he regrets his decision, Brad said: "On the night, it was one of them situations where, I didn’t want her to leave [with me]. The way we had a connection, it would be really nice to take what we had and continue it on the outside.
"I woke up this morning and I wish we had left together. I want to see where that could have went. Not being able to speak to Cind, or ask her where she’s at, I want to know how she’s woke up this morning.
