Love Island stars Deji Adeniyi and Lacey Edwards are said to no longer be an item following an explosive fallout.
The pair, who hit it off in Casa Amor during the latest series of the ITV dating show, have reportedly split just days after they appeared on Sunday’s reunion show with their fellow Islanders. But viewers spotted trouble in paradise as the couple had more than their fair share of awkward exchanges during their interview.
Deji and Lacey apparently called it quits following claims that Deji slept with fellow Love Island star Coco Lodge, with Chyna Mills allegedly breaking the news to several people and leading to a series of fiery fallouts. Sources claim that it was the “last straw” for Lacey, and that the relationship between the pair was “basically over before it even began”, The Mirror reports .

Insiders told The Sun that the awkwardness between the former lovebirds was plain to see at the reunion “after Lacey delivered some home truths”, leading to the split days after the show was recorded. "Lacey didn't want to force something that wasn't meant to be and then the rumours about Deji and Coco were the final straw between them,” the source claimed.
When co-host Darren Harriott quizzed Deji and Lacey about their relationship since leaving the Love Island villa during the reunion, things immediately turned frosty. "You guys look good together. You still going strong?" Darren asked.
Deji awkwardly replied: "Yeah, I mean, obviously... we've both been very busy so, she's obviously p****d I haven't taken her on a first date kind of thing."
"You make time for people if you want to, right?" Lacey clapped back, before later saying that Deji was “giving me problems” and admitting that things had been very different for the couple since leaving the show. "It was so intense in the villa, and we both really are two very chill people - I think maybe we're both being too chill right now,” she confessed.
