What has Greg O'Shea said about his split from Amber Gill?
Greg appeared on RTE One's Late Late Show in Dublin with former co-star Maura Higgins on September 6, where he spoke about his break-up with Amber Gill.
He explained: "We're mad about each other, what's not to be mad about? She's gorgeous, smart funny, she's the Queen of Love Island for a reason but you need to be realistic about the situation.
"She lives in the UK, every brand wants to work with her, every event wants her there, of course she deserves all of it and I decided to come back to Ireland and do my thing here."
He continued: "I'm trying to get to the Olympics with the sevens team, I've got my law exams coming up so we're both so jam-packed busy and you need to take these opportunities by the scruff of the neck.
"So we're kind of just being realistic about the situation and protecting our careers and that's where we are at the moment."
