Love Island’s Teddy breaks down in tears and sobs on Instagram after Faye split rumours

LOVE Island star Teddy Soares has posted a tearful snap on social media after rumours he'd split from Faye Winter.

Teddy, best known for his time on the ITV dating contest, took to social media to give a glimpse into his difficult week.

The star posted a selfie alongside the words: "About last week", which showed him teary eyed, sporting an unhappy expression.

Following the image, he posted a series of clips, explaining his reasoning behind the selfie and admitted he was apprehensive in sharing the snap.

He explained: "One of the things I really wanna do this year is practise what you preach."

The star added that he wished to be: "Brave in sharing how I was feeling last week."

"That's why I thought I'd give you guys a bit of an insight into how I've been feeling recently and it's not easy, it's really not easy to obviously share your emotions, it's not easy to wear your heart on your sleeve and announce it."

Teddy went on to say: "One of the biggest reasons why I wanted to put that image of myself on my story was because, to be honest it was not only about helping myself, but it was also about who it could also help in the process as well.

"Because hopefully, you know, there will be someone out there that sees it and thinks, oh, do you know what, I'm feeling the same."

The former Islander candidly admitted the difficulty behind reaching out for help, stating: "Some people will definitely know they are in a difficult position and not reach out and I get it, it's because they feel as though, well nine times out of ten, they feel as though they are not gonna be heard."

Teddy also added: "It's definitely okay to cry, it's definitely okay to let your emotions out."

The revelations come after rumours that he and girlfriend Faye Winter, who he met in the villa, had split.

Teddy previously denied accusations they had split after sharing a clip gushing about the "best weekend" they shared together, teasing: "Yo everyone, yo. I've got up super late but I don't care.

We've had the best weekend. It has been phenomenal, out of this world."
