LOVE Island's Lucy has finally revealed the truth behind the mystery voicenote that exposed her as a "gameplayer".
The Sun revealed last week a 37-second recording, where she plots to couple with popular Tommy Bradley as a surefire way to make the final.
Tommy and Lucy were savagely dumped from the villa last Monday.
The pair joined Maya Jama on Love Island Aftersun tonight to address the infamous voicenote that has gone viral on social media.
Lucy explained: "So obviously, like, we've probably all done it... sent voicenotes to friends and obviously I really did trust that friend and with the Tommy situation, I was obviously saying he's a very nice boy and that's why I wanted to get to know him.
"I did say till the end, but it weren't the final, I meant the end... I would like to be with him in the future.
"Someone with really good morals and also before going on the show, my dad did say to me he's the kind of boy he'd like me to bring home because he's very respectful."
The Liverpudlian then apologised for her "rude" comments about Megan after she branded her a "f**king little slapper".
Lucy continued: "Obviously to talk about Megan as well, I should never have commented on someone I'd never met before, so I do really apologise about that because I'm not that type of girl and it was very rude of me to do that as well."
Tommy then tried to defend Lucy following the backlash she's since received.
He told Maya: "You said as well, at the time, we're all just characters on the screen to her.
"I know you were very excited to be going on one of the biggest reality show's in the country... emotions were high and you were speaking to one of your close friends.
"I think it's been blown out of proportion a little bit because I've said things to my friends in group chats, which if got leaked, it might have made me look like a bad person, but it's just to your mate, you never expect everyone to listen to it."
Maya insisted: "That's definitely not a good friend, I hope you blocked her after that."
Lucy admitted she's no longer pals with the person who leaked it.
The voice note, which was revealed last Friday, said: "I've got a phone call today by the way, saying they want to fly me out on Tuesday or Monday.
"So they said to me on Sunday they'll let me know for 100 percent, but looks like I'm f**king going on one of those days. So they were like, get your stuff packed basically.
"I was like, I'm already packed love. They asked me for my top three boys.
"I said, Tommy, I want Tommy. I feel like if I'm with Tommy I feel like I'll get all the way to the end.
"Because everyone loves him. I don't know if you've been watching it but that Megan's being sent home and I'm f**king made up.
"And she's being sent home because of the way she's treated Tommy.
"And do you know what, I'm made up that I've been watching it because I know how to act.
"Because she's being a f**king little slapper in there.
"The public have voted her out. So I just need to be left a nice girl and just f**king stick with Tommy."
Irish beauty Megan Forte Clarke was axed after her love triangle with Conor Phillips and Tommy led her to be voted one of the three least popular girls by the public.
The contestants then chose to evict her, along with Remell Mullins as the least popular boy.
After Casa Amor, Lucy walked into the main villa holding hands with smitten Tommy, who dumped Emily Moran to be with her.
Emily was left shell-shocked having stayed loyal to Tommy and given a heartfelt speech in which she said she couldn't wait to see him.
Tommy told the gathered Islanders how he had a better connection with Lucy; the pair had spent the past few days glued together sharing lots of kisses.
Sheepish Lucy admitted it was difficult entering the villa in such a "s****y situation".
When host Maya Jama told the group that Emily was dumped from the Island.
