Winter Love Island's Connor slammed by furious ex who claims he dumped her for the show

Love Island 's Connor Durman has been slammed by his furious ex-girlfriend who claims he dumped her to go on the show.

Stevie-Leigh Pich, 22, from Doncaster, branded her ex "savage" - alleging he was planning his stint on Love Island long before they split seven weeks ago.

She also says she's living in Australia, where Connor has been based for four years, on his visa despite the split.

She blasted the coffee bean salesman, 25, in a scathing post on Instagram before switching her account to private.

Stevie-Leigh, 22, wrote: "Also just to let everyone know I was with him 7 weeks ago just before I came back out to Auz (on his visa) and I was in a three year relationship with him he knew all along he was going on Love Island.

"Absolutely savage. I wish Connor all the best.

"But my Instragram is turning off for the whole time Love Island is on."

In a chat with Mail Online , she also claimed the relationship had been getting serious.

She said: "The whole four years he was living in Australia with me – he wasn't on his own.

"I'm still out here now, I'm still on his visa until October. It's been horrendous. It's very hard for me to digest what's going on.

"We had a French bulldog together called Rex, we did everything together...

"I've been reading from his interview that he went on a date with a girl and it were the best date ever – I don't know when that was but he was seeing me, we went to Thailand together in July last year, we were planning on buying a house together!"

She even claimed he'd lied about his job as a coffee bean salesman, adding: "It's a load of bulls**t, he's been a roofer for the last seven years!

Connor is about to enter the Love Island villa (ITV)

Connor claims to be the founder of coffee company Naked Barista, due to launch this month, but Stevie insists he's still in the process of launching the brand - and she helped him every step of the way.

She goes on to reveal they last saw each other seven weeks ago, when he told her to go back to Australia without him.

Stevie ends by claiming she also auditioned to go on this series of Love Island and says Connor "went cracy" when he found out.

Connor will be entering the villa in South Africa when the new show launches on ITV2 next weekend.
