Love Island's Rebecca Gormley splits from co-star Biggs Chris after a year of dating

Love Island star Rebecca Gormley has confirmed her split from her co-star beau Biggs Chris.

They pair met and coupled up on the ITV2 dating show more than a year ago.

But now, it's sadly all over.

Model Rebecca, 23, told her fans that the romance was no more during a Q&A session on Instagram on Tuesday night.

"We have broken up," she told her followers, after one fan asked if they were still together.

It comes just months after Biggs, 29, spoke about how he wanted to marry Rebecca.

Rebecca said in a video: "Everyone is asking me this question and the reason why I haven’t told you any sooner is that I wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing.

"And it is the best thing for us so yeah, we have broke up."

Fans had become concerned that they'd gone their separate ways after they ceased posting snaps and videos together on social media.

Rebecca is in her native Newcastle and has been attending events recently without Scottish Biggs by her side.

He recently headed to the Love Island finale party in London without Rebecca, and has been partying in Ibiza too.

The exes were last pictured together on July 20 as they hung out with fellow Islanders Lucie Donlan and her boyfriend Luke Mabbott.

Rebecca and Biggs have not confirmed the date they broke up, although it seems it was some time before they shared the news.

The duo met last year on the first winter Love Island.

Last September, he said that he wanted to tie the knot with Rebecca, but was hoping she'd be the one to pop the question.

He told MailOnline: "I’m waiting for Rebecca to ask me to marry her. I’m waiting for the ring, she got down on one knee yesterday as a joke."

And she quipped: "You’ll be waiting for a long time cause I’m not getting down on one knee."
