They only left the Mallorca villa at the end of June, and despite seeming VERY loved-up just last week, Love Island 2018 runners-up Laura Anderson and Paul Knops were at the centre of split rumours when they were spotted having a heated row after a night out... in a bus stop.

Despite a number of reports suggesting the pair had split, don't panic, it sounds like they are very much still ON! Laura took to her Instagram Story to rubbish the claims, admitting they just had a 'little bicker'. She wrote, 'To answer any speculation - Paul and I have NOT broken up. We had a little bicker like any normal couple. Being in the public eye proves difficult, especially at a bus stop. #forgiveournaivety [sic]

Love Island viewers were shocked during the final back in June when Laura and Paul beat both Wes Nelson and Megan Hanson-Barton, and Josh Denzel and Kaz Crossley to finish in second place behind Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer, despite them not being an 'official' couple.

Laura, who entered the villa as one of the original Islanders, found herself being dumped twice on the show, before model Paul walked in and stole her heart.
