We’ve discovered the truth about Krystal Thomas and Caleb Duncan‘s romance on FBOY Island Australia 2024, and it’s SPICY AF!

ICYMI: Caleb appeared on the first season of the scandalous dating show, where he was exposed as the king of FBoys.

Despite his disgusting behaviour on-screen, he was invited back to bartend for season two in a HUGE plot twist that nobody wanted (especially 2023 lead Molly O’Halloran).

However, when he joined the 2024 season, it was revealed that leading lady Krystal had slipped in his DMs after his previous stint on the show.

The pair also shocked fans when they struck up an on-screen romance, considering Caleb was a proud FBoy and wasn’t even an *official* contestant.

But as revealed in episode 421 of the So Dramatic! podcast, their spark wasn’t as legitimate as viewers were led to believe.

Insiders claim FBOY Island’s Krystal Thomas and Caleb Duncan’s storyline was ‘FAKE’

One insider told So Dramatic! that Krystal and Caleb’s romance storyline was “all fake”.

“Producers came up with the whole thing to spice things up because the show was so boring,” they dished.

“They called Caleb at the eleventh hour and begged him to come back, then concocted the entire thing between him and Krystal, including them sliding into each other’s DMs before filming and having a prior connection.”

The insider claimed that producers asked Krystal if she’d be down to “hook up” with Caleb if they brought him back.

“Krystal wasn’t vibing any of the guys, so she agreed to go along with it,” they continued. “It was a last-ditch attempt to save the show.”

And who says reality TV is supposed to be real anyway?

FBOY Island‘s Krystal Thomas was a ‘PRODUCERS DREAM’

The source also revealed that QUEEN Krystal, who also slayed on The Bachelors 2023, was a “producer’s dream.”

“She gave them the best one-liners and was up for anything. Her prior experience on The Bachelor came in handy,” they said.

“She knew what to do to make good TV and was very cooperative with production. Everyone in the crew loved her.” And we loved her too!
