The split was apparently amicable and the pair remain friends. According to reports, they are set to come face-to-face on the next series of Celebs Go Dating. See, this is how you Love Island...

We'll never forget Sean Stone sending Omar Nyame home so that he could couple up with Matilda Draper... His strange actions kind of paid off because they came third on the show. Unfortunately, they split a few weeks after leaving the villa, but according to Matilda, are still 'best friends'. At this year's NTA's, Matilda told heatworld, 'Me and Sean are literally best friends. We're so close. We've got no beef at all.'It just was not working because we're so busy - I've got my thing and he's doing his thing and that's literally it. We still speak all the time. We're so close.' She's now dating TOWIE star Roman Hackett, while Sean is thought to be single.
