Love Island's Jess Harding parties in Ibiza after 'split' from Sammy

Love Island star Jess Harding has flown to Ibiza for a girls holiday after it was reported she split with Sammy Root just two months after winning the ITV show.

Jess has posted a series of videos to her Instagram Story which sees the Love Island winner enjoying some well-earned fun with her friends. The pals could be spotted in the infamous O Beach beach club in Ibiza.

This comes after it was reported Jess and Sammy had gone their separate ways after realising their "relationship had changed since leaving the villa". A source told the Daily Mail: "Jess and Sammy have called it quits. Things have changed since leaving the villa and Jess has realised they're better off as friends."

Jess and Sammy made several red-carpet appearances together including the National Television Awards, but they were also spotted enjoying event separately in recent weeks. The Love Island winner, who has signed a mega deal with In The Style, was seen partying at a bash hosted by the fashion brand alone.

This year's Love Island winners shocked viewers when they were announced victorious over Whitey Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki. Throughout their time on the show, Jess and Sammy were faced with various difficulties on their quest for love.

After leaving the villa, Sammy defended his romance with Jess and insisted he was attracted to her. He said: "The whole way through Love Island I've said to Jess that I think she is so beautiful when she's completely natural. I love everything about Jess' figure – I've made that very clear."

The couple even previously addressed the idea of settling down together. He said: "I never ask someone to be my girlfriend if I didn't see myself marrying them," while Jess agreed: "There's no point thinking you're going to be with someone for a short time."

Meanwhile, when asked how it felt to win the show, Sammy said: "It feels amazing, it’s hard to have any words for it really but it’s very surreal." Jess added: "I feel like it was a close call and everyone did so well. To win it is over the moon. Very positive, happy and overwhelmed."
