It’s been almost a year since a new series of Love Island has been on our screens (thank goodness for The Cabins, eh?), but it seems that two former Islanders are caught in a love triangle with a fellow reality star and it’s getting just as brutal as some of the ITV2 dating show’s recouplings.
We were absolutely SHOOK last October when it was claimed that Jack Fincham’s friendship with 2018 co-star Laura Anderson had “grown romantic” after they “locked lips”, but just a few months later he appeared to have moved on with TOWIE’s Chloe Brockett.
Jack and Chloe sparked romance rumours when they shared near-identical hot tub snaps on Instagram just before Christmas, with Chloe even branding the dad-of-one a “sort” in the comments section, although there appeared to be another twist in his love life earlier this week when he dropped a major hint he was in Dubai with Laura.
Well, Chloe has seemingly got wind of Jack and Laura’s potential romance as she’s unfollowed him on Instagram.
Jack has returned the favour too, which suggests the pair aren’t on the best of terms right now.
At least he’s got Laura to console him, eh?

If you cast your mind back to Love Island 2015 you'll remember when Jon Clark famously proposed to Hannah Elizabeth. It didn't last (bless them) and he went on to star on TOWIE. Fast forward a couple of years and he dated Chloe Crowhurst but after the Love Island 2017 line-up was announced he publicly slammed her and revealed they were dating. After she left the villa they briefly reunited before calling it quits.

Charlie Frederick didn't get the best of chances in the Love Island 2018 villa; he was partnered with the iconic Hayley Hughes but they were quickly dumped.

11 of 19Charlie Frederick and Arabella Chi
Charlie also got with Arabella before she entered the villa. He actually claimed that the model was a 'liar' and hinted they were still dating even when she went into the villa. After being booted from Love Islandshe branded him an 'idiot' and said they had blocked each other before she went on the reality show.
12 of 19Kaz Crossley and Theo Campbell
We really thought Kaz Crossley and Josh Denzel were going to last but alas they didn't. A few months after announcing their split Kaz announced on Instagram that she moved on with 2017 legend Theo Campbell. They since shared cute snaps on social media.
13 of 19Jess Shears and Dom Lever
So Jess and Dom were happily coupled up in the villa but when the boys voted for her to leave they were both left devastated… Dom wasn't that upset though because he didn't follow her.

15 of 19Wes Nelson and Amber Davies
In January 2019 following all that Dancing on Ice drama with Vanessa Bauer, Wes Nelson and Megan Barton Hanson split. However a couple of months later there were reports that Wes had been 'sexting' 2017 winner Amber Davies. Then on Celebs Go Dating, Amber claimed he had been messaging another Love Island star before she appeared to brand Amber a "snakey b-tch" on Instagram. Following the whole Amber/Sam allegations, Megan wrote: "Imagine moving like that and lying to numerous heartbroken girls that you ain't sh-gged their ex!"Amber denied the rumours in an emotional tweet.
16 of 19Eyal Booker and Kendall Rae Knight
Tbf, these two did share a little kiss on the main show, but then things got hella steamy and a little weird tbh in the reunion show when they snogged in a swimming pool. Nothing long term came of it.
17 of 19Ellie Brown and Michael Griffiths
Michael and Ellie got together during MTV's Celebrity Ex On The Beach. They both said they were single as the show ended but then posted cute pictures together on social media. However, that came grinding to a halt when Michael started posting cute pictures with other women too.
18 of 19Rebecca Gormley and Biggs Chris
Beauty queen Rebecca chose to couple up with Jordan Waobikeze instead of Biggs in the Love Island villa, following her failed romances with Connagh Howard, Wallace Wilson and Luke Trotman. She clearly regretted her decision though as she coupled up with Biggs just weeks after being dumped and returning to the UK. Despite cheating rumours on both sides, they're still going strong.
19 of 19Luke Mabbott and Lucie Donlan
Romance blossomed for the couple in summer 2020 and they 'confirmed' their relationship status when they shared the same photo (of a hot tub) to Instagram. As is the modern way.
Jack fuelled the rumours he was dating Laura with a cryptic Instagram post (classic) as he shared a throwback snap of the pair, which was taken in the UK, but tagged the location as Dubai – seemingly implying he’s joined Laura in the Middle East.
As if that wasn’t enough, Dr. Alex George revealed he’d been cropped out of the original photo as he commented, “Wait. Did you crop me out 😂😂💙 toss.”

Jack’s turbulent love life comes after he split from girlfriend of two months Connie O’Hara at the end of last year.
Although they sparked engagement rumours when they went Instagram official, Jack and Connie’s relationship eventually fizzled out, with a source revealing “a relationship just doesn’t fit” in his life right now.
“His fitness schedule is round-the-clock and he's very dedicated to reaching his goals in boxing. He's also a father so any girlfriend he welcomes into his life needs to be understanding of that, which isn't always easy,” they added to The Sun.
Meanwhile, Laura split from hunky PT Tom Brazier around the same time after deciding to move back to her native Scotland.
She explained, "It was lovely that he wanted to follow me up to Scotland, but I think that’s not always the right thing for them. Sometimes, when people move for you, you sort of have to look after them a little bit and I think for once in my life I want to be a little bit selfish."
