LOVE Island pair Priya Jiswal and Aidan Murphy face an awkward reunion tonight at the National TV Awards in London, just hours after The Sun revealed they have split.
The former couple are both on the guest-list to attend tonight’s bash, and we’re told they will be sat in the same area for the event.

A source said: “It’s very uncomfortable for them, as the break-up is really fresh and the last thing you want is to have to paint on a smile and have the nation watching as you’re seated right by your ex on national telly, less than a few days after calling it quits.
“It’s surprising that they both want to be there, but neither wants to miss their moment as next year they’ll be a whole new cast who’ll attend instead so they’ll just have to grin and bear it.”
Another recent villa star Yasmin Hadlow will also be at the ceremony, fresh from her split with Tommy Stagg, but fortunately for Yas, we’re told Tommy will not be there.
“Tommy isn’t on the list for tonight, so Yasmin will be spared that awkwardness. Poor Priya won’t get the same reprieve,” our source added.
