Love Island star Anton Danyluk has admitted he still speaks to ex-girlfriend Belle Hassan every day, despite the pair splitting following their exit from the villa.
Anton and Belle met on the ITV2 show during the Casa Amor twist and underwent several ups and downs before they left the villa before the final.
However the Scottish gym owner has claimed that there will ‘always be something there between me and Belle’ and that the pair remain close in spite of the split.
‘But we still make sure we speak to each other everyday, which is really really nice that we can keep up that friendship, and who knows in the future what it might lead to,’ the 25-year-old said.
Speaking to The Sun, he added: ‘There will always be something there between me and Belle.
‘No matter if I marry someone else. I’ll never have an experience like what I had with Belle in that place, and I’ll love and respect her for that always.’
His comments come after Belle told Metro.co.uk they ‘still talk here and there but it’s really hard when he’s traveling and we’d go two or three days without talking’.
‘And for me, when I’m seeing someone, I need more than that. At least if I’m not seeing you, call me, pick up the phone.
But the 21-year-old make-up artist isn’t letting the split get her down, and she believes Anton is enjoying his fame just as much.
‘Everything I felt for Anton and everything I said was real. I did really fall for him, I did really like him – it’s just one of those things,’ she said.
‘Obviously I’m sad, but what can you do, life goes on, get on with it. I think for him now, he’s a single boy, he’s enjoying fame and I’m happy for him.’
