They stole the hearts of the nation on the 2018 series of Love Island, so when Dani Dyer shockingly announced she'd SPLIT from boyfriend Jack Fincham last year, fans were left in complete shock.

Luckily, the pair were able to work things out, and Dani swiftly deleted her post confirming the split. But now, months on, Dani has opened up about the real reasons for the drama, and confirmed the couple are living in separate houses.

Speaking on The Jonathan Ross show, Dani said, "When we first came out of Love Island, we moved into a flat together and we started filming our show. It was sort of way too much and our flat became a work home. It was really hard because we weren’t having those exciting times where you miss each other."

Revealing her frustrations, Dani added, "He’ll drink a can of Coke and then leave it in the fridge… then I would get so upset about it and we’d be rowing over a towel, the row would be over a towel because I’d be like, ‘Where is your respect for me?'

"It's always over something silly."

Dani told Jonathan, "It’s just like, ‘Relax, chill, we are just trying to be happy. Life is tough so we’re just trying to make it work, that’s all we’re trying to do. We are together, we are so together, we are fine."
