Love Island's Faye Winter opens up about 'tough' Teddy split speculation

Love Island star Faye Winter has said that she's found it "tough" to deal with speculation that she's split from boyfriend Teddy Soares.

In recent months, their romance has gone from strength to strength - but they have been bombarded with claims they may have split after not sharing snaps of one another on social media.

The couple were keen to squash the rumours and returned to posting aspects of their life, but the blonde bombshell admits that they do feel pressure to update fans.

During an exclusive chat with The Mirror, Faye, who has teamed up with Jose Cuervo to celebrate Mexico's Day of the Dead said: "I think because me and Teddy did go on the show for each other when we've come out it's hard.

"We want to keep people in the loop, we want people to know what we're doing but at the same time, it's our relationship.

"We've both got different dreams still and we're both you know, we're still working really hard, if you're working and you've got your partner, normally you don't see each other Monday to Friday 9 to 5."

Faye added: "It's really hard to get that balance, we don't want it to be the shomance, we don't want it to be everyone just assumes we come as one.

"We're different people, Teddy's very proud of what I do and I'm really proud of what he does but it's really tough, it's like 'Oh my God, we're not showing enough'.

"But we don't always want to be on show as a couple so it's difficult to try and find that balance."

The star added: "We're just in a very normal relationship, very loved up and sometimes it just doesn't come onto social media.

"I know our followers follow us because they love us together."

Faye has teamed up with Jose Cuervo UK to become a mariachi singer (Love Island’s Faye Winter pictured as part of Day of the Dead campaign for Jose Cuervo.

Reflecting on her partnership with the tequila brand which sees her and Made In Chelsea star Liv Bentley transform into mariachi singers, she said: "I love Jose Cuervo, I've always drunk it as a tequila brand.

"When they approached me to see if we'd like to work together, I was like, 'Oh my God, yes,' I'm very conscious of brands I work with and who I want to work with, so it was just kind of really a bit of fate."

On working with Liv, Faye joked: "There were some words that she was saying I did not understand and I'm sure there was some words that she wish she hadn't heard from me.

"It was two worlds that collide, she's an amazing girl, I was very lucky to work with her and learn a bit more about Chelsea because I'm far from a London girl."

But as the pair battle to become mariachi singers, Faye joked that fans should watch the episodes on YouTube before asking whether she should pursue a singing career.
