Love Island couple Catherine Agbaje and Elom Ahlijah-Wilson have fuelled split rumours after making a telling comment during a podcast appearance.
The duo met each other during the dramatic Casa Amor episodes when Elom, 22, walked in as one of the bombshells and caught 22-year-old Catherine's eye.
However, their time on the show didn't last long as they were dumped from the Spanish villa last week in shocking scenes.
Since their brutal villa dumping, Elom and Catherine have been making appearances on shows and podcasts to discuss all things Love Island and fans believe they may have already broken up.
And Elom's latest comment on Will Njobvu's podcast has fuelled speculation further as podcast host Will asked personal trainer Elom if he was "genuinely looking for a relationship".

"Right now in my life am I genuinely looking for a relationship? Do you know what it is, like..." Elom said to Will Njobvu on his podcast, Reality with Will Njobvu.
The host burst out laughing while Catherine quipped: "Well, is that's a no..."
Elom said he wanted to 'focus in himself' (ITV/REX/Shutterstock)Elom realised what he said and tried to clarify what he meant by saying: "Currently, I want to focus on myself and at the same time focus on Catherine."
Will and Catherine squealed with laughter as she said he was 'digging himself a hole'.
"Coming out of the villa there was obviously a lot of limelight on both of us and we both need to focus on ourselves so I feel like if we both focus on ourselves," he said.
"In due time, we're still talking to each other and still bonding and in due time, we're going to get to that stage. Do you understand?"
Will decided to make a cheeky comment and immediately asked Catherine if she wants a man who was 'ready for her', to which she responded with a 'yeah'.
After watching the clip from the podcast, fans rushed to the comment section to joke about what he said.
"They came out that podcast as singles I guess," one user said while another posted: "What did he go on Love Island for then???"

Before their villadumping, there had been signs of trouble in paradise for Catherine and Elom when he admitted that a new bombshell could turn his head.
When the two appeared on Aftersun, Maya Jama had the opportunity to grill the pair on their relationship.
She asked: "From the outside it looked like everything was going well between you and Catherine and then out of nowhere you're like 'if there's bombshells, I want to get to know them'.
"Where did that come from because there wasn't even a bombshell."
Defending himself, Elom said: "On the outside world I'm the type of person when things are going well, I tend to sabotage things. I think too much into the future and I'm not in the moment."
He went on: "Being in the villa made me realise that I've got to enjoy the moment and being with Catherine made me enjoy the moment as well."
Catherine added: "We've literally been out for two days and even the first day wasn't a day because we got back in the evening."
