Laura Anderson has broken her silence on the split of her Love Island co-stars Charlie Brake and Ellie Brown, revealing the brutal way by which Charlie broke up with her pal.
She said that Charlie released a statement on the split without Ellie's knowledge, and that she was blindsided by the announcement while on a night out at The Best Heroes Awards, which she was attending with Laura.
According to Metro.co.uk, Laura said that although Ellie was "fine now," she'd had "no idea whatsoever that was coming," adding that she was with her at the time and that she'd "just burst into tears."
She added, "I don’t understand it. He did not go about it in the right way in my opinion. It was wrong."
