Laura Anderson breaks her silence on split with Paul Knops and reveals romance fizzled out after his holiday in the US
The Sun revealed the pair had split after just two months of romance last week
LAURA Anderson has revealed she parted ways with Paul Knops after they failed to rekindle their spark following his three-week trip to the States.
The Love Island star, 29, split from the male model last week, which she says was down to his lack of effort to see or speak to her.
Laura and Paul won viewers over with their chemistry on the ITV2 show this summer, and placed in second behind winners Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham.
However, the pair have since drifted due to their conflicting schedules, with Laura telling : "When we came out of the villa there was a lot of work related things we did together and then Paul went away for three weeks.
"He went to the Burning Man festival in America and he couldn’t get phone signal for a week. I was absolutely fine with that.
"I trusted him not to do things with other girls, which he didn’t."
While she had hoped the pair would pick things back up upon his return, she revealed the male model, 31, failed to make an effort to see her, drawing their romance to a close.
She added: "I was hoping that when he came back we’d spend more time together and build a proper relationship out of the villa. It didn’t happen."
The Sun Online revealed the pair had split last week, with the Scottish star unfollowing Paul on social media only days later.
Explaining her decision to cut him out completely, Laura said: "I don’t really want to see what he’s up to now because I’m not involved in that.

"You have a little look now and again and it torments you!"
Their split comes after the couple were pictured having a furious row after a night out in London last month, which they both insisted was nothing more than a "bicker".
However, unlucky-in-love Laura has not been letting the split get her down, as she's been spotted on numerous nights out with her Love Island co-stars ever since.
