Lucie Donlan dumps Joe Garratt as he's spotted in clinch with Amber Gill

Love Island's Lucie Donlan has dumped Joe Garratt just minutes after the Mirror's video showing him getting close with Amber Gill.

According to sources, the couple secretly split a couple of weeks ago after "growing apart".

"Joe and Lucie have decided to end things between them," a source told the Sun .

"They've been so busy with work lately that it's made it difficult for them to find time to see each other. They just grew apart."

The on/off couple have split before, but seemed happy and loved up when they appeared on the red carpet at the ITV Palooza in November.

They donned their gladrags for the glittering event at London's Royal Albert Hall, with Lucie oozing glam sophistication in a floor-length black dress and Joe suited and booted in a tux.

Back in September, the pair opened up about their relationship, admitting they were in love.

"We've dropped the L-bomb," he said at the time.

"I feel like the luckiest guy in the world still. I'll always be grateful to Love Island. That show is the reason we met and how I got with this amazing girl."

He went on: "We came out and found each other again. Now everyone can see it's not fake, it's something real.

"It sounds like a fairy tale, but true love will always conquer."

He was seen with his hands on Amber's hips as she smiled into his face at the event.

Amber, who was perched on a stool with Joe standing in between her thighs, could be seen looking happy and relaxed as the pair whispered together.

Shielded by a bouncer, the pair enjoyed each others' company as an eagle-eyed onlooker noticed them in the steamy clinch.

The clubber claimed they were snogging, before he was asked to leave by security.

Lucie is yet to comment publicly on the split - and the saucy video - but did share a cryptic post on Instagram.

"Don't be surprised how quickly the universe moves once you've decided that you want better for yourself," the text post read.

Lucie also shared a picture of herself posing in a black string bikini, captioning it: "Your moves will be misunderstood by those not meant to join you on your journey..."

Mirror Online has contacted reps for Joe, Amber and Lucie for comment.
