Love Island winners Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies split after just 132 days

LOVE Island couple Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies have split just 132 days after their win despite saying they might wed.

The TV sweethearts decided to call it quits after a string of rows.

Their romps, including an intimate clinch in the villa’s swimming pool, helped the show attract 2.6million viewers — a record for ITV2.

But a pal said last night: “They’ve been at each other’s necks for the past month.

“They’ve clashed over the smallest things.

“It’s also been very hard for them to see each other with their hectic schedules.

“They tried to make it work but realised they want different things.”

Kem, 21, and Amber, 20, confirmed in a statement: “With sadness, we’ve decided to separate. Our schedules made it difficult. We’ll remain good friends.”

The Sun told last week they had blocked each other on social media after a spat.

Kem also revealed their romance struggles since winning £50,000 on the show. The hunk, to star in ITV’s Dancing On Ice next year, said: “When it finished there was so much pressure.”

Kem, 21, and Amber, 20, who shared an Essex pad, confirmed in a statement: “With sadness, we’ve decided to separate.

“We fell in love in the villa and want to thank all the fans of the show for supporting us.

"Our schedules made it difficult. We’ll remain good friends.”

The Sun told last week how they blocked each on social media after a spat.

Kem also revealed their romance struggles since winning £50,000 on the romp-filled ITV2 show in July.

The hunk, to star in ITV’s Dancing On Ice next year, said: “When it finished there was so much pressure. We aren’t perfect all the time.”

And he also confessed that the amount of sex they had has “dramatically dropped” since their time on the programme.
