Love Island star Faye Winter has opened up about how "hard" her recent public split with Teddy Soares has been.
Faye and Teddy came third in the 2021 series of the hit ITV2 reality dating show and were the last remaining couple still together until they announced the end of their relationship earlier this year after 18 months of dating.
The former lettings and sales manager had previously shared her joy of moving into her "dream" property with Teddy and even launched a home account on Instagram.
But weeks of speculation about their break-up heated up on Valentine's Day when they failed to pay tribute to each other, before they made the decision to go their separate ways.
The couple have instead been packing up the home they shared together but Faye appeared to be dealing with the brunt of break-up tasks in a not so subtle dig.
And the 27-year-old has admitted that the "hardship" of the break-up has been not being able to comfort one another through the difficult times, particularly in the public eye.
Speaking to The Sun, Faye said: "It's hard because I went into Love Island to purely find someone and I said anything on top of that was an added bonus.
"I've never been in a situation where I've been in relationship in the public eye and I've had to go through a break-up in the public eye."
She added: "So obviously it's been hard and everything that's been hard in my life post-Love Island, I've always had Teddy there to help me deal with it and visa versa, I've always helped him.
"So I think that's the hardest part because I can't just ring him and be like 'I'm struggling'. That's the hardship of it because its always been us."
The reality TV star looked a world away from her Casa Amor days in a gold chainmail dress on Tuesday night as she attended the UK premiere of The Power in London's West End.
It was Faye's first public appearance since her and Teddy split but she made sure all eyes were on her at the event.
Faye glittered in the see-through ensemble, teasing her incredible figure underneath in a plunging nude bodysuit.
Completing the look, she paired it with some glitzy stilletos that accentuated her toned tanned legs and complimented the gold tones with a bronze smokey eye and nude lip.
