Love Island's Anna Vakili breaks silence over Sherif Lanre romance rumours

Love Island stars Anna Vakili and Sherif Lanre are rumoured to be  back on, after rumours flew that they'd started things up again after meeting at an event.

But Anna has claimed there's no romance between them - even though Sherif wants there to be.

The 29-year-old pharmacist took to Instagram to clear things up about her and the 20 year-old hunk.

"Hi everyone, I just want to comment on something that caught my eye in the paper this morning," she told fans.

"I normally ignore the rubbish that's said, but I just want to clear up that me and Sherif are just friends. We're not rekindling any kind of romance, we were never really together to begin with, and I just saw him at an event and we took a photo. That's all it is. Anyway, hope you all have a great weekend."

Sherif and Anna were briefly together on the ITV2 show before Sherif quit the villa in the second week.

Fans got excited that the romance might be back on after a source told OK! magazine that they had definite chemistry at an event at Thorpe Park.

It was the first time they'd seen each other since Sherif left Love Island.

A source revealed to Mirror Online that Sherif has also reconnected with fellow islander and scientist Yewande Biala - although he wouldn't turn down a date with Anna if it was on the cards in the future.

"Sherif is very interested in seeing how things go with Anna, but he's also just reconnected with Yewande.

"Things seem like they're going well between them and he's asked her out on their first date."

Sherif has posted pictures with both Anna and Yewande, and both possibilities have sent fans into meltdown.

After he left the villa, Anna struck up a romance with Jordan Hames, but it came crashing down after he told India Reynolds he fancied her.

Yewande, meanwhile, was left heartbroken by Danny Williams as he found a new flame in Arabella Chi. The Dublin native confronted the new couple as Danny and Arabella smirked at her in an exchange that left fans fuming.
