Love Island star Alex Bowen has spoken out about Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies’ split – and blamed Dancing On Ice for their break up.
Kem, who won the 2017 series of ITV2’s Love Island alongside Amber, will star in the brand new series of Dancing On Ice in the new year – and his training schedule has been pretty hectic.
Yesterday, Kem and Amber’s split was revealed after just four months of dating – and now, Love Island’s Alex Bowen has had his say on their break up.
Speaking to The Sun Online, he said, “I think their split is shocking because they won the show and everyone thought they were the best couple. But you don’t know what you’ve got to handle on the outside.”
“You don’t know how if you’ll be living on different sides of the country, you don’t know how much work you’ll be getting.
“The fact Kem got Dancing On Ice – that will be taking up a lot of his time,” he said. “They get on but they don’t have time for each other.”
Meanwhile, Alex’s girlfriend Olivia Buckland, who he met on the 2016 series of the show, said, “We don’t know Kem but we both know Amber. I text her last night and said I hoped she was alright.”
“I’m sure he’s lovely but it’s such a hard thing to make work when you’re so busy. He’s mega busy, it must be so hard for him – it’s just so difficult really.”
Kem and Amber won a whopping £50,000 for winning Love Island, and their relationship seemed to be rock solid in the months following the series – but, after a string of rows they decided to spit.
A source said, “They’ve been at each other’s necks for the past month. They’ve clashed over the smallest things.”
“It’s also been very hard for them to see each other with their hectic schedules. They tried to make it work but realised they want different things.”
Meanwhile, the pair confirmed the split in a statement: “With sadness, we’ve decided to separate. Our schedules made it difficult. We’ll remain good friends.”
