Just hours after the news broke, Priya and Aidan both hit the red carpet at the NTAs at London’s O2 Arena.
Speaking about the split, Priya said: “I’m all good. Aidan and I were obviously dating as we were in the villa, we carried that on afterwards.
“We were kind of seeing where things were going but inevitably, if it wasn’t going to end up in a relationship there’s no point continuing dating romantically.
“So we just thought it best to go our separate ways now and focus on our business ideas but all love.”

As for whether she’s ready to go back into the dating pool straightaway, Priya said: “I’ll have a little breather I think, but I went in Love Island because I was ready for a relationship right? So hopefully, in time it’ll come.”
A source previously told The Sun of the split: “Since leaving Love Island and experiencing life outside together, Aidan and Priya have realised they’re better off as mates.
“They had a rollercoaster friends to lovers journey on the show and there were times they thought that could translate outside the villa but they’ve decided they’re just better suited as friends.
“This is totally mutual and they have loved their time together so will be cheering each other on as they navigate the next chapter solo.”
