Love Island’s Anton reveals the real reason he split from Georgia – and it wasn’t the distance
LOVE Island star Anton Danyluk has finally admitted there wasn’t a romantic spark between himself and Georgia Harrison.
The Scottish hunk addressed their break up for the first time in his podcast alongside his mum Sherrie, who told him she never saw them as more than friends.
The pair, both 29, placed fifth on this year’s All Stars series, but spent the show defending their romance to fans and their fellow islanders, after Georgia was accused of ‘faking it’.
They went their separate ways in April, with distance being cited as the reason why.
But Anton now says it was in fact down to the lack of chemistry.
He told his mum on What’s The Crack: “I thought it was be best to talk about it on the podcast so you can hear it from the horse’s mouth. In the press, a source said the distance was the issue, now we were in London every other week so I don’t think distance was the issue.
“Obviously that wasn’t the case. I just wanted to clear up the whole break up in general. I think it’s we’ve come out of the villa and we tried to give it a fair go but I think it’s fair to say.”
Sherrie – who has come under fire for her views on Georgia – interjected: “You did see each other quite a lot, but me being your mother I just knew within that it was actually just a rally really good friendship, I think the two of you got more into that friendship with each other.”
Anton agreed, adding: “I just don’t think there was really that romantic spark there. We did both try. At times it was there but just not enough for it to continue as a relationship.”
While his mum said “the fire never really sparked”, Anton continued: “Especially for Georgia, she had so many people on her side wanting it to work for her but it was just never there for her I don’t think.”
His mum went on to say: “You could see it was never there for Georgia”, while Anton defended Georgia and said she did really try.
Anton previously hinted that he disagreed that distance was the reason behind their split.
Just a day after their split was revealed, he shared a quote that said: “If someone truly loves you, distance is not a problem.
“It’s just the power of making love grow each day.”
