Love Island winners Millie Court and Liam Reardon have announced they have split less than a year after meeting on the show.
The couple were crowned champions of the dating show last summer, beating Chloe Burrows and Toby Aromolaran in the final.
But the pair have confirmed their romance has come to an end less than one year since they bagged the title and £50,000 prize money, in separate messages to their fans on social media.

‘Gutted’ Millie told her 1.9 million followers: "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 & the past year and I wish Liam all the best in everything he does.
The Essex native added: We’re both ready for new chapters and I’m excited for what’s next."
Welsh star Liam also shared a statement, describing their journey as "incredible".
Thanking fans for their support he added: "We've been so lucky to both come into each other's lives.
"We both will continue to be friends and I will remain as Millie’s biggest supporter in all that she does and I know she will always do amazing."
The couple had a bumpy ride in the ITV2 series following Casa Amor, when Liam was unfaithful as he got to know contestant Lillie Haynes.
But the pair found their way back to each other eventually when Millie forgave him and went on to win the series.
The couple shared they had recently bought an apartment in Millie's home town of Essex.
The reality stars reportedly splashed £1million on a three-storey apartment in an Elizabethan mansion conversion.
Celebrating their milestone in November 2021, the couple shared snaps of them popping a bottle of champagne as they toasted to their new chapter together.
However, the split comes after months of speculation that they had ended their romance, but they always fought off rumours until confirming the news today.
