Love Island: The Christmas Reunion is fast-approaching; and as we prepare ourselves for all the post-Palma drama Laura Anderson, Zara McDermott and Samira Mighty have finally revealed what the HELL went down with Charlie Brake and Ellie Brown's break-up.

Chatting to heat Radio's Emily Segal in the latest episode of heat's Big Night In the Love Island ladies accused Charlie - who's now rumoured to be dating TOWIE star Ferne McCann - of CHEATING on her after going for dinner with another girl.

Oh, and the split itself sounds savage.

Spilling the Love Island: The Christmas Reunion tea, Zara said: "Basically what happened was Ellie and Charlie had a bit of a row. They broke up because Ellie found out that he’d taken another girl for dinner."

"As you do, you know, in a relationship," Laura added.

Zara continued: "We’d been out the night before at an awards and she found out that night while Ellie was with us that he was out with another girl at a restaurant in London."

His excuse? He claimed he was on a mate date at Nando's, apparently. Laura explained: "Then he lied and said it was a Nando’s in a different city. It was just a 'friend date.'"

Bloody hell.

But wait, it gets worse.

"Then they had a big argument. He broke up with her on his Instagram Story," said Zara.

Laura claimed: "I was at the cinema with her. Her phone kept going off and I was like ‘what’s wrong?’ and she just burst into tears in the middle of the cinema. She was shaking; she hadn’t even said anything to her mum yet."

BRUTAL.

Samira chipped in: "Then the next day he tweeted 'I love my life.'"

The final nail in the coffin? "Then, he took the girl he went to dinner with to Monaco."

Blimey, Charlie.
