ITV2 Love Island's Michael speaks out over whether Amber would split £50k prize

Love Island's Michael Griffiths says he wasn't sure whether Amber Gill would have split her share of the cash prize with Greg O'Shea given the chance.

Amber and Greg were crowned ITV's Love Island winners following a short romance.

The winners of the ITV2 reality dating show are voted for by the public, who choose their favourites.

Amber had a rocky time in the villa, after coming back from Casa Amor to find Michael in the arms of another woman, Joanna.

But when Joanna was booted out of the villa by her fellow contestants, Michael admitted to Amber that he still had feelings for her.

However, it was too little too late for Michael as the Geordie beautician chose to couple up with Greg.

Amber and Greg made it all the way to the final and beat favourites Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague to the prize.

Caroline Flack asked Greg and Amber to each choose an envelope - Greg's contained £50,000, while Amber's contained nothing.

The rugby player decided to split the money - but Michael isn't sure whether Amber would have made the same decision.

Speaking to Capital FM , Michael said he was happy for his former flame: "I’m so gassed for her, like, she’s been through a mad journey and she needs that."

Asked about the £50k, Michael joked: "Do you know what, yeah, Amber was always going to split it anyway.

"I low key thought if she gets it she might steal it but nah, nah, nah she was always gonna split it anyway."
