Within seconds of the model walking into the dressing area, 21-year-old surfer Lucie Donlan recognised her and remarked that they shared an ex-boyfriend in Charlie, who appeared on the show last year.
"I literally recognise you - you're my ex's ex," Lucie said to Arabella.
But the stunning blonde newbie, 28, awkwardly replied: "Well, I'm not ex. Not ex."
The girls in the room then broke into laughter, with a shocked Molly-Mae putting her hand over her mouth.

Arabella then confirmed to Lucie "there was definitely no crossover".
Eagle-eyed fans were quick to comment on Twitter, with one saying: "Is it just me or when Lucie said 'you’re my ex’s ex' to Arabella she responded “not ex' and their ex Charlie is claiming he was still seeing her?? Bit sus."
Another added: "Lucie: 'You're my ex's ex'. Arribella 'well not ex' - I'm sorry are you still together? #LoveIsland [sic]."
Arabella's apparent slip of the tongue came hours after Charlie also claimed he is still in a relationship with her.

Taking to social media, he said: "Right so this is an absolute madness for me.
"Finding out that a person I'm seeing on a serious level has just strolled into the villa completely disregarding my feelings and our relationship or what we had.
"I feel like I have to air these screen shots because I feel like I've been completely mugged off."
Charlie added: "I'm truly upset that Arabella has lied to me about what she was doing and claiming she had a campaign but instead actually going into Love Island.

"Every relationship has its ups and downs but these next screen shots are all within the last 2 weeks.
"I'm truly gutted and for the life of me cannot figure out why she has DONE THIS."
Charlie then shared WhatsApp messages of conversations between the pair in which Arabella begs him to come over to her house.

Meanwhile, after introducing herself to Arabella, Lucie headed straight into the Beach Hut and admitted the model's arrival would have unnerved her if Joe Garratt, who she had coupled up with, had still been on the island.
She said: "I think if Joe was here I'd have a bit of a meltdown because she's very beautiful and obviously she was with my ex as well.
"But she's a really lovely girl, really nice."
During tonight's episode, fans of the show will see Arabella getting closer to Danny - much to the horror of Yewlande.
