An insider close to Kem revealed that he had taken his time after the whirlwind success of his time on Love Island and then the split with Amber, 132 days after they won the series by a landslide.

The source said: "Kem took his time with dating after Love Island but now he couldn't be happier."

"Things couldn't be better for Kem at the moment. It was important for Kem not to rush into anything after Love Island, but things felt natural with Lexi."

It is thought the pair met while on holiday in the middle of last year and became serious several months ago.

“The relationship is easily lost if you don’t work at it. It was a mutual decision to split," she told new! magazine.

The pair, however, have not stayed friends, with Amber revealing they are too different to stay in touch.

The 22-year-old West End star said: "We don't see each other. We don't speak. It's like we live two completely different lives. I wish him well, but I don't know him as a person.

"People grow up, don't they? We were so young when we met and I think now we're two very different humans who don't know each other at all, which is obviously sad. It's part of life and I accept it. But I always wish him well."
