A brief history of Love Island’s messiest and most dramatic breakups of all time

Love Island couples are cursed when it comes to breakups hitting headlines. They seem to go through the messiest and most dramatic breakups of all time which sucks for them but is great for people like us who love Islander gossip. Over the years we have seen some explosive rows being papped, breakup statements being posted whilst the other person is napping and even being compared to a kebab – it’s not looking good.

Here’s a rundown of Love Island’s messiest and most dramatic breakups of all time.

Faye Winter and Teddy Soares

Love Island 2021 finalists Faye and Teddy ended their relationship earlier this year via a statement on Faye’s Instagram story. Since then, indirects have been slung about left, right and centre and the whole thing is getting messy.

Faye admitted she was grieving Teddy a month later and but now Bonnie, their dog, is involved and Faye is taking every opportunity to post her online despite Teddy finding it hard.

In a recent interview Teddy said he has “a voice again” after his breakup with Faye and she had a dig at him obviously. On her Instagram stories she said: “I feel like there’s been some big life changes recently, that’s all I’m going to say. I feel like I’m brushing over things. I feel like I’ve done so well, I’ve stayed really classy, really dignified, if I do say so myself. What’s the saying where you’re brushing around things? When you’re brushing over the subject? That’s how I feel. I’m just like, ugh! Anyway, I’m going to bed now.” Big yikes.

Amy Hart and Curtis Pritchard

This breakup was one big mess but at the same time it gave us one of the greatest Love Island memes of all time. Curtis Pritchard being so desperate to make everyone a coffee in the morning to the point where he’s willing to lose a potential girlfriend over it was too funny. When Amy returned from Casa Amor ready to rekindle her love for Curtis, he then dropped the bomb that he kissed someone else but still wanted to be her boyfriend – someone make it make sense.

Ellie Brown and Charlie Brake

Ellie Brown and Charlie Brake met on Love Island 2018 and moved in together straight after the show. However the pair quickly broke up just one month after leaving the villa. At the Love Island reunion we found out Charlie told Ellie he was in the countryside when he was actually in London having dinner with another girl.

Ellie revealed she woke up to messages saying he was with a blonde girl in London so asked him where he was and he denied being there. Ellie was sent a photo of Charlie in a restaurant with a girl and Charlie had the audacity to claim it was photoshopped. The pair have always been dramatic though, when they were together Charlie allegedly threw all of Ellie’s stuff out his bedroom window and secretly dumped her before kicking her out of the house – yikes. What makes it worse though is the fact this was after he reportedly chatted up another girl.

Georgia Steele and Sam Bird

Georgia Steele spent her entire time on Love Island claiming she was “loyal, babe.” However when Sam Bird gave his first interview after their split he admitted she wasn’t as loyal as she makes out and said: “She’s not the person I thought she was.”

Sam accused Georgia of cheating on him with her ex-boyfriend and apparently he found a suspicious selfie of Georgia in bed with her ex. Georgia denied these claims and instead said the relationship failing was down to Sam who made her feel “miserable” when they were together. This whole situation blew up in an explosive row during the Love Island Christmas special.

Anna Vikali and Jordan Hames

When I think about Anna and Jordan I get literal war flashbacks. They were official for only 24 hours and then all hell broke loose. Anna really put Jordan in his place after he cracked on with India but bloody hell, credit where credit is due, Jordan was a confident guy.

The best part of this messy breakup was Jordan trying to end things with Anna but she just says over and over again how he can end something when it’s already over – comedy gold, end of.

Katie Salmon and Adam Maxted

Adam and Katie were the first of the couples to split after leaving the villa. In one of the weirdest breakup announcements of all time, Adam took to Twitter and compared Katie to a literal kebab.

He said: “It’s like when you’re eating a kebab after a night out and the first few bites taste good but then you realise that it isn’t really nice at all.” Katie then replied and said: “It’s like getting socks at Christmas. Practical but not fun.”

Olivia Atwood and Chris Hughes

Olivia Atwood and Chris Hughes argued relentlessly on Love Island. Watching them on the show had the same energy as when you’re around your mates house and their parents start arguing. It’s awkward for everyone involved but you just can’t take your eyes off them. They didn’t last after Love Island, obviously.

After leaving the villa they landed their own show called Crackin’ On which originally planned to document their relationship but instead aired Chris dumping Olivia. So. Savage.

Rosie Williams and Adam Collard

Adam Collard is a whole different type of evil given the fact he’s on this list twice.

We all knew Adam Collard couldn’t be trusted. He went from Kendall to Rosie and then to Zara. But when he faced accusations of gaslighting Rosie, the breakup went sour. Rosie essentially poured her heart out to him at the end of their relationship whilst he sat there smirking. Pure evil. He quickly moved on with Zara McDermott but they broke up pretty soon after.

Megan Barton Hanson and Wes Nelson
