Sophie Piper and Connor Durman have called time on their relationship, six months after meeting.
The Love Island stars met during the first winter edition of the show in January and vowed to stay together when Connor was dumped from the villa.
It’s believed that the former lovers haven’t seen one another since the UK went into lockdown in March in a bid to contain the coronavirus.
Admin assistant Sophie, 21, and coffee salesman Connor, 25, didn’t make their relationship “official” after they reunited away from the villa.

Speaking to The Sun, a source close to the pair said: “Things just fizzled out, they never even went official.”
The insider added: “It just didn’t have a chance to get started because of lockdown and they both agreed it was better to just stay friends.”
March saw Connor deny their relationship was on the rocks, claiming that they were planning on moving in together before the country went into lockdown.

Sophie told Capital XTRA’s Will Njobvu that the pair were in a “situation-ship” and they hadn’t been on their first date.
“No we are not together at all!’ she exclaimed.
“We are just seeing each other! It’s a situation-ship. I will get to know him, go on dates with him.”

Connor and Sophie haven’t been seen together since February, although Connor met up with fellow Love Island co-stars Jamie Clayton and Callum Jones last weekend.
Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that the upcoming summer series of Love Island had been scrapped due to the coronavirus – alongside the winter edition.
“Love Island UK will return bigger and better than ever with an extended run in summer 2021,” said ITV bosses.
