LOVE Island winner Lorenzo Alessi partied with another Islander instead of his partner Julia Majchrzak this weekend, it can be revealed.
The couple were meant to meet up at his welcome home bash but the gorgeous blonde mysteriously did not attend.

But insiders have now lifted the lid on Lorenzo’s “lost weekend” after the pair revealed they’d not met up since landing home.
Fans were left shocked by revelations in Lorenzo and Julia’s awkward interview on This Morning, where they admitted they were yet to date in the UK.

In a video taken on Wednesday at Gatwick Airport, Julia was heard saying to Lorenzo’s dad: “See you on Saturday, thank you for inviting me.”
Now it can be revealed that Julia did not attend Saturday night’s bash – but Lorenzo’s villa best pal Tommy ‘Toon’ Murphy did.

A source said: “On Saturday evening Lorenzo had a big welcome back party at the family home in hertfordshire.
“It was a large turnout, there were friends, family, his extended friendship circle.
“Julia wasn’t there but Tommy was.
“The entire road was packed with cars and there was loud music until about midnight, so it was a really big party.”
That night, Lorenzo uploaded an Instagram story of two Ferrero Rochers on a crisply ironed, white pillow – riffing off a joke he’d made in the villa.
On Jattvibeday morning fans spotted that he had been liking photos of models on Instagram, including one posted on Saturday night and two that were uploaded whilst Lorenzo was in the villa.
A source added: “Lorenzo stayed at home so would’ve taken the chocolate pic and been liking the pictures from his own bed.”
Tongues have been wagging about the state of Lorenzo and Julia’s relationship as, whilst other finalists have seemed inseparable and posted a number of snaps together, the winners have stayed silent.
They spent Monday conducting joint interviews with Capital FM and other titles and then uploaded snaps from a dinner date.
It came after This Morning host Josie Gibson asked them to clarify their status on Monday’s episode.
Lorenzo said it’s been a “crazy few days” since the final and that he believes “everything needs to settle down”.
He elaborated: “Then we’re going to go on some lovely dates….”
When asked if she felt the same way, Julia replied: “Where’s the date?” and later added: “When?” and then, “When’s my date?”
Earlier today, Radio Times published an interview with the underfire duo, also recorded on Monday, when they spoke about dating again.
Lorenzo said: “ It’s just been so crazy coming back. We’ve spent time with friends and family, and now we can sort of begin that new chapter in the real world, right?
“So we can start going on dates, we can start learning more about each other that perhaps we didn’t even think about in there.”
Asked if they had any dates planned, Lorenzo added: “Yeah, I mean, we’ve got a busy schedule ahead. But yeah, we’re gonna grab dinner after this.
And yeah, schedule some… It feels really awkward having to schedule time in. Yeah.
“But yeah, we’re gonna schedule some time to meet up a lot over the next, sort of two weeks or so, and really book that in so we can put the time in to building this from the foundation that we [built].”
Lorenzo and Julia declined to comment.
