Love Island contestants confirm they have separated

But... but... we thought it was for *EVER*...

That's right, folks. Today, is the saddest of December days. Four months after winning Love Island and beginning what everyone in the world assumed would be a lifetime of happiness together, Kem and Amber have decided to part ways. A statement from the couple said:

"It is with sadness that we have decided to separate. We fell in love in the villa and want to thank all the fans of the show for supporting us. Our lives have changed beyond recognition over the past few months and our hectic work schedules have made it difficult to make things work. We still have a lot of love for each other and will remain good friends."

A source close to the couple also told The Metro that their heavy schedules were having a negative effect on their relationship and leading them to constantly argue. "They are both devastated," the source added.

Life doesn't stand still for 21-year-old Kem, however. The hairdresser is set to appear on the returning  Dancing On Ice in the weeks ahead.
