Love Island's Kaz Kamwi reveals the real reason for her split from Tyler Cruickshank

Love Island's Kaz Kamwi has revealed the real reason she split from her boyfriend Tyler Cruickshank.

The fashion blogger, 26, and Tyler, also 26, called time on their relationship in December after just three months of dating.

Kaz had stayed silent about why the pair parted, but has now addressed the breakup on her YouTube channel.

Speaking to her followers she said: "Obviously I am single now, I was in a relationship the last time I was on this channel.

"I learned so much from that breakup and period of time. At the end of the day some relationships work, and some don't and this one just didn't.

"I was never faking it, I never acted up online for it, I was very much myself and I was how I would be in any other relationship, so I gave my 100 per cent and I don't think I was fully appreciated, but that's just life."

Kaz stressed that being single was "not an issue", but she did struggle with the fact her relationship was under a microscope on social media.

"What is really hard is Twitter … when everything happened even before we confirmed anything everyone gave their opinions," she said.

'I get it, on one hand everyone is entitled to their opinion that's fine, and a lot of people saw things that I didn't see at the time. I was very naïve. It's okay it's fine…"

Kaz revealed that she struggled to cope after the pair split up because she 'lost a lot of her confidence'.

She continued: "I feel like when it all happened publicly, my God. It was really hard when a message was being put out there that basically said you're not good enough.

"I found that really hard. I feel like ever since I have come out that has been a massive thing in general. Am I being sensitive? It is just really hard navigating and processing everything.

"I have lost a lot of my confidence the last couple of months and trying to gain it back it's a journey."

Four days after the news broke that Kaz and Tyler had split they took to Instagram with a joint statement.

It read: "We are extremely sad to announce that we have decided to end our romantic relationship.

"We have had a fantastic journey and we will always have a special bond between us.

"We will continue to be very much in one another's lives and support each other in every way.

"Life since the villa has been amazing, but it’s taking time to adjust to a new normal in the public eye.

"This part of the journey hasn’t been easy for us but we’re learning."
