Love Island's Amber Gill breaks silence over 'disappointing' Greg O'Shea split

She appeared on Loose Women earlier today

Author: Emma DoddsPublished 9th Sep 2019

Love Island 2019 winners Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea called it quits last week - six weeks after leaving the Love Island villa as the show's King and Queen. Amber - who was the fan-favourite on the show throughout - coupled up with Greg towards the end of the show, but they took the prize money over the likes of Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury.

Sadly, the couple split over the weekend, with Greg telling RTE One's Late Late Show that they needed to be "realistic" about their long-distance romance, saying that they were both "jam-packed busy."

And during her stint on Loose Women earlier today, Amber opened up about the split to her fellow panellists, telling them that she'd been "disappointed" by Greg ending the relationship.

The 22-year-old said, "Obviously I'm really disappointed, I wasn't expecting it at all. I was due just that weekend just gone to fly out to Dublin and spend the weekend with him and we were going on a TV show together and on that day I had to cancel because it wasn't working out.

"But yeah, I just think, you know the career and the distance was always a factor, it was always something that we knew about so I don't know what changed. I wanted to make it work but it is what it is really. I am disappointed that it's over but, you know, I'm booked and I'm busy. I'll be fine, onwards and upwards from here."

Luke M's Love Island BFF Luke T told the Mail Online, "I was asking him about it for weeks but he just told me last weekend. He's been cool, I think they're well suited and I'm happy for them. Hopefully they last."


Well, the pair certainly have lasted! They continue to flood social media on the daily with cute snaps together, looking VERY loved-up.

Despite leaving the Love Island 2018 villa with Megan Barton-Hanson, the pair split in March 2019, with 2019 Islander Arabella Chi catching Wes' eye on the show.


When Arabella left the villa, the pair enjoyed a number of dates before going official in August 2019.


Although the pair moved in together, just nine months after they went official, reports suggested that Wes and Arabella had split in April 2020.

Kaz Crossley and Theo Campbell

Following Love Island 2018 star Kaz Crossley's split from fellow Islander Josh Denzel, Kaz started dating 2017 star Theo Campbell.


The couple made things official and later attended events together, enjoyed a number of holidays and looking very loved-up.

In August 2019, Kaz proved her love for her man by flying out to Ibiza after Theo lost the sight in his right eye following an accident involving a champagne cork.


Admitting how 'proud' she was of his bravery following the accident, Kaz wrote, 'It's been a hard 24 hours no one here speaks English and he was taken for hours at one point and I had no clue he was in surgery again. I've stayed in his room over night and just want to take him home. He's so brave and positive hopefully it will get better thanks for your kind messages.'


However, in February 2021, Theo confirmed the pair have now split, admitting he got 'slinged'.

Michael Griffiths and Ellie Brown

Love Island 2019 star Michael Griffiths seemed to confirm he was dating 2018 Ellie Brown after the pair both appeared on Celebrity Ex On The Beach. The former fireman even called Ellie 'the one'.


However, just hours later, Ellie denied the reports, admitting they only posted the photo to promote the show.

Maybe a potential couple in the future then? 🙈
