A LOVE Island couple is on the rocks just weeks after leaving the villa due to their hectic schedules, The Sun can reveal.
The Love Island final aired at the end of August, with Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan winning the £50k prize.
Joey Essex and Jessy Potts just missed out on a place in the final – and now insiders close to the couple say they’re feeling the strain of life after the show.
Jessy previously confessed they struggled as Joey was thrown back into his established showbiz career while she finds her feet.
and a source told The Sun: “Joey and Jessy have barely spent any time together as he’s been so busy doing nightclub PAs – it’s causing a lot of friction between them.
“At Ronnie Vint’s Eggiboff event it was noticed by a lot of people that they hardly spoke. Sadly it looks like it’s only a matter of time before they split.”
Admitting it’s been “hard” to keep their relationship going after the show, Jessy told heatworld: “We’re organising when to see each other, and I think it’s hard because you compare it to the other couples.
“They’re with each other 24/7, whereas we always knew it was going to be different because he’s catching up on his normal life, whereas for the rest of us we’re thrown into a new life.
“Everything is new and we’re waiting for things to come up. It was always going to be slightly different.
“We’re both making the effort and everyone’s speculating that we’ve broken up. We’re working it out.”
It comes just days after The Sun revealed Ronnie had split from Harriett Blackmore for the second time since leaving the villa.
A source told The Sun: “They tried to make it work outside the villa but both have been so busy since getting home they’ve not been able to dedicate enough time to it.”
The break-up followed rumours Ronnie had cheated on Harriett during a night out without her.
