The publication found a post where Leah posted a tribute to her ex, Elliott Xavier Campion, who died in 2015.

He was just 19 at the time, having dated Leah in their teens, and used to be a breakdancer.
Elliott had previously worked with Britain’s Got Talent winner George Sampson.
In her tribute to her ex, she said: “Our love was like no other and you can’t compare it to anything on this earth, we really had it planned out didn’t we?

“From the house, cars, kids names, everything. You was the best thing that ever happened to me and you are my everything, nothing could of made me happier than spending the rest of my life with you.
“You’re my soul mate and I love you to the moon and back, I can’t wait to see you again because I know I’m destined to be with you, I love you more than words can explain.”
A source also told the publication: “Elliott will always be No.1 for Leah. His untimely death rocked her world and she remembers him in everything she does.”

Shortly before his unfortunate passing, Elliott posted: “The prettiest girl I know and she’s mine! Missing you so much, can’t wait to join you in LA! Until then, the gym is my bestfriend @leaaaataylor.'”
Leah is still yet to find love in the villa after being rejected by Sammy and Tyrique, before giving it a go with Mitchel, who appears to be “just friends” with her also.
Though in tonight’s episode, Frenchman Mehdi seems to put the moves on her after pulling her for a surprise chat.

Leah responds: “Really? I’m not going to lie, I didn’t expect that.”
Mehdi adds: “I think you’re a smart girl, you’re articulate…”
I didn’t think it was on that level. I thought things were going well with you and Whitney…you’ve kissed?” she answered.
