Luke, 25, quickly hit back - claiming she begged him to fake their relationship for the sake of a clothing deal.

Demi explained in a video on her that he ended our relationship while they were spending lockdown in their separate homes.

She added that scoured Cornish surfer girl Lucie's social media pages for clues after she and Luke broke up during lockdown - saying she "put two and two together".

Demi said: "I went through all of Lucie's profile to see if there was anything on there that might see that they're together.

"I noticed all these cryptic captions with loads of 'shhh' emojis and about getting butterflies and secret eyes.

"I put two and two together. Obviously they must have started talking during lockdown.

"He then wanted to meet up with her - or was already meeting up with her, I don't know - and that's why he wanted to suddenly cut it.

"Then they obviously got together not long after that or were together - or released it not long after that."

She also said she was sent pictures of Luke and Lucie in Cornwall together from a fan "literally less than two weeks after the public break-up".

Today Lucie said she was "very upset" - calling Demi video "totally unnecessary and uncalled for".

And Luke spoke out too after the pair were bombarded by comments from internet trolls - saying Demi begged him to continue their romance for several weeks after he called it off.

He claims she him asked: "Can you wait three weeks for my clothing brand to launch?"

Luke said: "I was thinking: 'My feelings come first.' I wasn't too happy about it but I did say yeah."

However, the news he and Demi had split slipped out anyway after he spoke to friends about what had happened.

He laid out the dates everything happened to knock back Demi's suggestion that the two relationships overlapped.

Luke said: "Me and Demi split up on 29 May. Lucie checked with me a couple of days or a week after to see if I was single.

"We went on a date 17 June and then we started going out in July. It'd just like to squish it now - get it over and done with.
