Shock Love Island feud revealed as villa star takes side after Nicole and Ciaran’s split and posts video slamming her
A NEW Love Island feud has emerged after Nicole Samuel and Ciaran Davies' surprise split.
The runners-up went their separate ways last week after four months together but insisted it was amicable.
However, Ciaran's best pal in the villa Sam Taylor has now unfollowed Nicole and shared a shady video on TikTok that hints at behind the scenes drama.
He reposted a fan-made video that described Nicole as being "petty" about the situation, before becoming a montage of Ciaran with the words "you don't own me" written over the top.
Love Island fans were split over the post.
One person wrote: "Is Sam the new Mitch [Taylor] - making snarky remarks/posts on Love Island break-ups to stay relevant?"

Neither had their heads turned by bombshells, though they did row several times over Nicole's insecurities.
Sam's villa experience was very different, with the hairdresser brutally ditched from the villa after just 24 hours following the shock arrival of Joey Essex.
Just days before confirming their split, Nicole had spoken about the prospect of marriage and babies in the future.
But things quickly and dramatically changed.
A rep for the pair told us: “Over the last couple of days Nicole and Ciaran have made the mutual decision to part ways.
“They have left the relationship on amicable terms, and will remain good friends going forward.”
Fans first noticed something wasn't right after spotting them looking very uncomfortable in a promotional video.
In the ad, Ciaran appeared distant and stiff, a stark contrast to their previously playful and affectionate interactions.
After leaving the villa the Welsh pair moved in together straight away.
Speaking about their future, Nicole told gushed: “If I didn’t think we were going to get married and have babies one day, we wouldn’t be together, so I’d say that’s definitely on the cards in the future. Ci would be an amazing dad.”

Ciaran also opened up about how they made their relationship work, telling : “I think the important thing is communication.
“You need to be with someone who understands you and who you can talk to about anything. Also, always try to have fun, even when doing the boring stuff. And support each other, be happy for each other.”
