Break-ups are NEVER easy, so the last thing you need when you announce a split is people saying it was all 'FAKE' in the first place, Well, that's exactly what has happened to Love Island 2018 couple Laura Anderson and Paul Knops.
WATCH: The most talked about Love Island moments from 2018:
The former air-hostess said, "When we came out of the villa there was a lot of work-related things we did together and then Paul went away for three weeks.
"He went to the Burning Man festival in America and he couldn’t get phone signal for a week. I was absolutely fine with that. I trusted him not to do things with other girls, which he didn’t. I was hoping that when he came back we’d spend more time together and build a proper relationship out of the villa. It didn’t happen."
