Love Island's Summer and Josh split after 'heavily edited' Coco row

Love Island star Summer Botwe has confirmed that she is single and no longer pursuing a romantic relationship with Josh Le Grove.

The reality star has posted on her Instagram Story about her and Josh and has said that they are now just "friends" and has also alluded that her "argument" with Coco Lodge on the Love Island reunion show was "heavily edited".

Summer indicated that there was more than what was seen by viewers but has not said exactly what we are all missing out on.

Writing alongside a snap of herself on social media, Summer said: "Thank you for all the love and support after the reunion show, it never goes unnoticed."

Summer's attentions then turned to the frosty words she exchanged with Coco on the reunion show at the weekend, on ITV2.

She continued: "To clarify the ‘argument’ between me and Coco was heavily edited and there was to it than met the eye…

"I would also like to clarify that me and @josh_legrove are only friends and haven’t decided to pursue things romantically at this time.

"I appreciate everyone who continues to support me and my journey."

This comes just days are it was reported that Coco stormed off set during their war of words on the reunion show, with the row being seen by viewers over the weekend.

Regular Love Island AfterSun guest Darren Harriott was chatting with Billy Brown who was sat with Coco, Summer and Josh Le Grove.

Darren was wanting Billy to spill the beans about who had been with who since leaving the villa, when Summer interrupted and said: "I know someone who wishes they would have got with someone, but we move..."

Coco was then seen shaking her head and said: "It's all bullsh*t."

She then told Summer: "It's just banter. If you can't handle a big personality, don't go on reality TV, it's banter!"

Summer fired back: "Friends don't say certain things hun, but alright."

Coco looked like she wanted to shrug it off, but Summer was heard threatening to tell more, saying: "If you wanna talk about you, we can..." Coco replied: "It was a joke."

This was supposedly in reference to comments she made about wishing she'd slept with Josh when they were dumped from the villa.

Keen to have the final say, Summer coolly said: "I just wanna clarify I never fight over a boy coz there's no competition!"
