Alicia is the only daughter of former footballer Paul Scholes, 50, and his wife Clair Froggatt.

She currently plays for London Pulse in the Netball Super League and represents England at international level.

The blonde beauty is also an influencer, boasting 100k followers on Instagram, where she's been known to post a few nude snaps.

Alicia, hit headlines a few years ago after she and her brother opened a gym alongside their father.

 

But, her close relationship with her dad stunned fans in 2021 after she shared a viral video to her Instagram.

The clip showed Paul appearing to chew his daughter's toenails, prompting rival supporters to tease the United icon.

Back in June, Alicia sparked romance rumours with Ayo when shared a series of snaps, including one showing the back of a man’s head, and another of her holding hands with someone wearing a black hoodie.

Fans were quick to point out that Ayo owns an identical hoodie, seen on his own profile, and that the man’s distinct goatee closely resembled Ayo’s.

During his time in the villa, Ayo was coupled up with mental health nurse Mimii Ngulube - until bombshell Jess Spencer walked in.

Ayo and Jess came in fourth place during the final but their time in the villa was shrouded in controversy.

When they left the villa they were still not official but their relationship appeared to be growing deeper.

Despite picking to stay with Jess, the pair called it quits and some viewers and islanders were convinced that Ayo still had feelings for Mimii.

It seems that is no longer the case and now the Love Island star has officially moved on with his new beau.
