Chris Hughes says his 'life was a s**t storm' after Jesy Nelson split

Chris Hughes has opened up about his split from Jesy Nelson, admitting that it left him feeling low.

The former Love Island star, 27, deleted his Twitter account in the aftermath of their breakup and has now explained that he did so because his "life was a s**t storm".

The former couple called time on their 18-month romance earlier this month after the coronavirus lockdown kept them apart, with Jesy, 28, reportedly the one to end things.

And Chris moaned that quitting social media made him lose 500,000 followers before he appeared to leave the micro-blogging site for a second time.

"Ah it’s just jumped back up 250k wtf. Come on where’s the rest of ya?

"This is so weird."

Jesy reportedly ended the relationship over the phone after the pair isolated in separate homes during the coronavirus lockdown.

"Jesy and Chris split up a couple of weeks ago," a source told The Sun.

"It was all very amicable and they're still really good friends.

"Jesy rang Chris and led the conversation about their relationship and both agreed that it felt like it had run its course - they're both absolutely fine."

Despite claims of a mutual breakup, Chris appears to be struggling with the decision.

He also complained about suffering from insomnia and anxiety as he said he wasn't able to sleep.
