There could be some tension between Casey O'Gorman and Cynthia Otseh-Taiwo at the Love Island reunion, amid the two islanders not following each other on Instagram.
The cast of this year's winter instalment of the ITV2 show are set to reunite for a special episode just days after the final - with the reunion due to air on Sunday (March 19).
It's been reported that every islander from the ninth series is expected to attend and there's likely to be some tension as various dramas are discussed by the participants.
Among those who don't appear to be on the best of terms are Casey, 26, and Cynthia, 25. They seemed close in Casa Amor week, but he then chose not to couple-up with her.
The pair aren't following each other on Instagram at the moment, despite them both following some of the other islanders from the latest series of the popular ITV show.

Cynthia is following some islanders including winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan, both 24. She's also following the likes of Shaq Muhammad, 24, and Ron Hall, 25.
Whilst Casey - who's already attracted attention over who he isn't following on the platform - is following former co-stars such as Tanya Manhenga and Tom Clare, both 23.
And whilst Cynthia and Casey aren't following everyone from the show - so they aren't exceptions to each other's following list - it wouldn't be a surprise if it's awkward between them at the reunion given their history.
The pair were introduced when Cynthia headed into the villa during Casa Amor week. They subsequently shared a few kisses as they grew closer and it looked like he may couple-up with her.

Casey however instead chose to remain coupled-up with Claudia Fogarty, 28, upon her return into the villa - after getting to know Cynthia whilst Claudia was in Casa Amor.
Asked if he felt like he'd stayed loyal to Claudia, Casey said at the time: "I wanted to come into the Casa experience and really be open to know the girls and explore connections.
"I feel like I did that but like I said before, I don't think any [of those connections] were as special as my one with Claudia."
Cynthia suggested she was holding her tongue over the situation, before addressing Casey: "I was straddling you on the terrace, straddling, kissing, more than once."

She then appeared emotional after telling Casey ahead of her departure: "I know you've been honest and you have said that someone will get hurt. I've gotten hurt."
Cynthia later spoke about the recoupling on Aftersun. Although she said that she feels "fine" about it now, she admitted that she had felt "embarrassed" over the situation.
When co-star Layla Al-Momani, 28, said that Cynthia had felt a "connection" and been "upset for a very valid reason," the islander seemingly agreed with such an assessment.
Love Island: The Reunion is set to air on Sunday on ITV2 and ITVX from 9pm.
