After returning to her hometown of Brighton on the south coast of England, Strafford was soon rumored to be back with her ex-boyfriend Aaron Connelly, a footballer for Brighton and Hove (via Digital Spy). She eventually confirmed the rumor, telling OK! that they were "sort of talking again" and that while they're "not back together as such" they're "seeing where things go."

Quite soon after Strafford and Aaron Francis were dumped from the island, the couple parted ways despite saying that she "definitely wanted to continue things" with him outside the sunny Spanish isle (via Daily Mail).

"Unfortunately, both of us didn't find actual love in the villa," Strafford told Mail Online after news of their split. "We're great friends, I know that I can come to him for anything." After Brad McClelland insinuated in an interview with Cosmopolitan U.K. that they may rekindle their relationship, Stafford wasn't so keen. Bear in mind that this was before her split with Francis. Now that she seems comfortable back in the arms of Connelly, it could be that McClelland will have to find love elsewhere.
