LOVE Island winners Millie Court and Liam Reardon have announced that they have split up.
The popular couple shot to fame on last year’s show, easily beating their co-stars to the £50,000 prize pot.
However, just a year after finding love, they’ve gone their separate ways.
Millie, 25, said on Instagram: “Hi everyone, to avoid any speculation Liam and I wanted to share with you that we have separated.
“It’s been a tough decision and I am gutted but it’s ultimately what is best for us right now. Thank you to every single one of you for supporting our relationship.
“Nothing will ever take away from the amazing experience we shared in Love Island and the past year and I wish Liam all the best in everything he does.

“We’re both ready for new chapters and I’m excited for what’s next. Love, Millie.”
The couple last appeared together on social media two weeks ago, cuddling up on holiday in Portugal.
Despite looking loved-up, fans were already speculating something wasn’t right as they’d been seen together publicly less and less.
A source has now told the Mail that the pair had been growing apart for some time.
They said: “It’s been really hard for both Millie and Liam to come to this decision but after weeks of growing apart, they have come to the conclusion it’s the best thing for them both.
“There has been no drama or wrongdoing and they both still fully support each other and will remain close friends.”
The in-demand pair have been balancing busy work schedules with their relationship.
Millie is the face of fashion brand Asos while Liam has been hard at work in the boxing gym.
The Essex stunner recently opened up about her body change since being on the show as a size 6.
Now a size 10, Millie told Cosmopolitan UK: “There was a point where people thought I was pregnant because I was putting on weight.

“When I was in Love Island I was a size 6 but now I’m a size 10, but I prefer me as a 10 because I’ve got my boobs back.
“I’ve got my bum back and I’ve got curves.”
