"It's been a tough decision and I am gutted."

Love Island winners Millie Court and Liam Reardon have split. The pair met on last year's series of Love Island, but have decided to end their year-long romance. Millie announced the news in a short statement on Instagram. She confirmed that they've made the difficult decision to split, but stressed that they will remain friends. "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." https://www.instagram.com/p/CfW5WbyI8aN/ "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. Millie added, "We're both ready for new chapters and I'm excited for what's next. Love, Millie." It is believed the pair grew apart due to busy schedules. A source close to the pair told MailOnline, "It's been really hard for both Millie and Liam to come to this decision. "There has been no drama or wrongdoing and they both still fully support each other and will remain close friends." Before their split, Millie and Liam were living together in Essex.
