Lucinda rose to fame earlier this year after appearing on the seventh series of popular dating show Love Island.

She recently sparked rumours that she has rekindled her romance with Brighton and Hove Albion footballer Aaron Connolly.

The pair celebrated Halloween together dressed as publishing tycoon Hugh Hefner and a Playboy Bunnies.

This week, Lucinda posted photographs on Instagram at various sites around the capital.

She was seen at various sites including shopping in New Bond Street, Mayfair, and eating at Italian restaurant Giannino.

After posting about her experience, Lucinda shared a photograph of a cuddly toy of Olaf the Snowman saying that it "cheered me up".

Lucinda, who attended Downlands Community School in Hassocks, added: “For people asking, I didn’t get my phone back.”

Earlier this summer, Lucinda was dumped from popular ITV2 show Love Island in a shock twist.

After finishing bottom of a public vote, Lucinda and her then partner Aaron Francis were told they were leaving the villa in Mallorca immediately.

Soon after leaving, Lucinda, confirmed her short-lived romance was over and was spotted on a night out in Brighton with her first love interest Brad McCelland.

She had originally been in a couple with Brad on the show before he decided to leave the villa instead of her after they were voted the programme’s least compatible couple.
