Love Island stars get matching tattoos after sudden splits

LOVE Island stars Harriett Blackmore and Matilda Draper have taken their friendship to the next level following their shock breakups.

The reality TV favourites, who have been close friends throughout their time on and off the ITV show, decided to commemorate their bond with matching tattoos.

Brunette bombshell Matilda, 24, took to her Instagram Stories to share a pic of her matching tattoo with on screen bestie Harriett, 24.

Matilda opted for the letter ‘H’, while Harriett got the word ‘Dolly’ inked - a playful nickname that the pair share.

The reality beauty captioned the pic: "Got my dolly on me for life @harriettblackmorex”

The tattoos come after couple Matilda and Sean Stone, 24, announced their shock split just weeks after the show wrapped.

Sharing the news in a statement on social media, Matilda wrote: "Just wanted to come on here to tell you guys that Sean and I have decided to part ways.

"We are still good friends & I'm so grateful to have shared such an incredible experience with him."

She continued: "We appreciate all of your support throughout our time together and all the love you have shown us."

Matilda finished the statement with "love you all," followed by a heart emoji.

Sean shared a statement of his own, which was very similar to Matilda's but had an extra line at the bottom which read: "We both believe this is the best step for us moving forward."

Their split comes after Love Island fans claimed that the couple were faking their relationship.

Harriett and Ronnie Vint, 28, followed suit splitting after cheating claims.

The couple had a rocky romance during their time on the show, but seemed to be making things work on the outside.

But rumours of Ronnie cheating surfaced in July when he was spotted with a stunning teacher, 21, after a night out in Milton Keynes.

The Sun then revealed they'd secretly split before patching things up on the same day.

The couples relationship was in trouble again when Ronnie was heard on the phone to Harriett arguing at his launch party.

Ronnie was audibly fuming with Harriet, who didn’t arrive until after 11:00pm with fellow islanders Matilda and Uma Jammeh.

Speaking at his Eggi Boff launch, he explained: “I’ve been doing PAs, and obviously I’m going to take photos with girls and whatever, but there is nothing else, and she knows that, and obviously that’s the life we live now.

Ronnie continued: “If someone is close friends with me, and I’m talking to her, someone is going to try to take a photo, and that’s what it can look like.

"She obviously knows that deal, and what happened, because I went back that night and I FaceTimed her in bed, so she knew straight away that nothing happened, but then the story came out.”

Ronnie even told how he was thinking of making Harriett his girlfriend, but it seems things are now over for good.

A source confirmed their split as they told The Sun: “They tried to make it work outside the villa but both have been so busy since getting home they've not been able to dedicate enough time to it.”
