Love Island All Stars break-ups
    Anton Danyluk and Georgia Harrison
    Fans had hoped the popular pair would stand the test of time but just weeks after leaving the villa they called it a day.
    Distance was said to be a factor with 400miles between their homes in Essex and Aidrie, Scotland, respectively.
    But today Anton set the record straight on the What’s The Crack? podcast with his mum Sherrie-Ann.
    He said: “I just don’t think there was really that romantic spark there. We did both try. At times it was there but just not enough for it to continue as a relationship.”
    Jess Gale and Callum Jones
    The fourth placed finishers always faced on uphill battle given many watching the latest series wanted Callum to reunite with his ex Molly Smith.
    The fireworks from the Boohoo party row put an end to the romance before it really got off the floor.
    Arabella Chi and Adam Maxted
    This visually striking pairing bloomed late in the series. Despite forming a close bond in the villa, the couple quickly went cold in the real world.
    Wrestler Adam was based in Northern Ireland while model Arabella moved into a new pad in London. Even though Adam revealed he was moving to Manchester, it wasn’t enough to save them.
    They vowed to remain good friends and split on good terms.
    Luis Morrison and Demi Jones
    In another case of distance getting in the way, Luis admitted the 240 miles between Manchester and Portsmouth was just too much.
    He told The Sun: “Me and Demi aren’t together, but she was a huge part of my Love Island experience and she is one of the most loveliest, most beautiful girls I’ve ever met. 
    “The connection was definitely there when leaving the villa too.
    “But the distance was a killer for us both and wouldn’t of worked as we are both at different parts of the country, we both have really busy schedules coming off love island too.”
