As Helena Ford prepares for her second appearance on Love Island in the upcoming All Stars series, she is already facing a secret rivalry with one of her co-stars.

In a recently resurfaced tweet, Helena accuses Charlie Frederick, who has also been confirmed for the show, of "ruining" her 16th birthday and making derogatory comments about her appearance.

This incident occurred seven years before Helena, who was a fan of Love Island.

While watching the show and recognizing Charlie, she tweeted at the time: “Nah, that Charlie Frederick kid got my 16th party shut down, said I looked like a dolphin.”

Now, a friend has informed The Sun about the connection between Helena and Charlie: “They attended school together and do know each other.”

They clarified that Helena can't quite recall the specifics of their heated birthday exchange.

Adding: “However, it has been a long time since Helena posted that tweet, and she doesn’t really remember why she was upset.”

Fans are eagerly anticipating how Helena and Charlie’s unresolved tensions will resurface on the show.

“This is so random, I hope she brings it up, and then it gets aired on the show,” one fan commented as the tweet was shared on Reddit this week.

Another added: “This is going to be hilarious.”

Helena made her debut on Love Island last year , where she was introduced as a Cabin Crew member residing in London, originally from Devon.

Meanwhile, it remains unclear which part of Devon Helena is from, but it is likely that she grew up quite close to Charlie, who is also currently based in the capital.

This isn't the first time Helena's social media activity has landed her in trouble, as some of her posts have attracted attention.

Despite gaining fame from the show, the tweets remain visible on her X account, which contains numerous posts from 2014 to 2018.

Helena did not have the easiest experience on Love Island, navigating an on-again, off-again relationship with co-star Harry Cooksley, who eventually ended things with her.

Regarding her upcoming participation, she expressed: “I need to focus on the nice boys and avoid the troublemakers. That’s where I went wrong last time.”

“And I should probably refrain from going to the hideaway too often or discussing it as much as I did – my poor mom!”
