Sammy was also seen leaving a party with Faye Winter after his split
LOVE Island's Sammy Root raised eyebrows as he cosied up with a co-star at a Halloween reunion party... and it wasn't Jess Harding.
The winner of this year's show met up with the rest of the islanders for a Halloween bash but spent most of the gathering with Abi Moores.

He was spotted dancing with the flight attendant on two separate occasions - looking shifty each time the cameras focused on him.
Sammy, who split from Jess shortly after they won the show, was dressed as a toy soldier.
He wore a black tank top with green face paint and dog tags.
Abi was dressed as Freddy Krueger for the night in a stripy red and green jumper and glove made of knives.

Other Love Islanders were there for the party, but Jess was nowhere to be seen.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Sammy has spoken emotionally about his "confusing" break up for the first time.
"We had a lot of fun in the villa and we really did fall for each other,” said Sammy.

"I think it's just a case of when you get out life is very, very different.
"It can be a bit of a struggle getting used to it and having a relationship at the same time.
"The relationship for me, it was going in a nice place and I would have seen it going on for longer.
"It felt like it was going alright, but at the same time, you never know how someone else is feeling.
“We didn't actually really say too much on the matter.
"It was just one of those things where it just felt like it just was a bit much to be sort of looking after as well as this new life.
"It's hard for me to even comment on it because it was just like it was a bit of a confusing one, but at the same time, but yeah, we're still on good terms.”
Jess told him it was over by phone - choosing not to wait for a face to face conversation before making the news public earlier this month.
Sammy was left stunned when news of their split leaked online while Jess was partying in Ibiza with pals.
He faced a tough time in the aftermath as he struggled with heartbreak in the spotlight.
After his split from Jess he was briefly linked to Love Island alumni Faye Winter.

The pair looked very friendly at the Pride of Britain awards, where they were seen arm in arm.
However, a rep for Love Island 2021 star Faye insisted: "She is friends with Jess and Sammy. Nothing was going on here other than them saying goodbye when leaving."
