Millie Court and Liam Reardon have split up, less than a year after winning Love Island.
The couple's path to triumph on the ITV dating show definitely wasn't a smooth one after Welshman Liam betrayed Millie in Casa Amor by kissing new girl Lillie Haynes. After going behind Millie's back, Liam actually returned to the main villa alone but his deceit was exposed by South Shields girl Lillie villa after she walked in after him and spilled the beans.
In spite of that bombshell, Millie did end up taking Liam back and, against all the odds, they ended up winning the £50,000 prize, and splitting it as they both chose love over money. The couple moved in together after their time on Love Island, however, after denying their relationship was on rocky ground just weeks ago, Millie and Liam have now confirmed they've gone their separate ways.

Millie confirmed the break up on social media, writing: ""Hi everyone, 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 and the past year and I wish Liam all the best in everything he does.
She added: "We're both ready for new chapters and I'm excited for what's next.."
Liam has also released a statement, saying: "We will both 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.
"We're both ready for new chapters and I'm excited for what's next. Again I just want to thank you all for supporting us on what's been an incredible journey."
