Inside Love Island star Mary’s relationship with ‘footballer’ ex – who is also a reality star
BEFORE finding fame on Love Island model Mary Bedford hit headlines when she dated reality star Chris Hughes.
She couldn’t resist mentioning her ex on last night’s show – as she admitted she didn’t want to date a footballer again.
While we know Chris from the telly, the Cheltenham lad did once play a bit of footy for local team Bourton Rovers FC – and it’s thought this is who she was discussing.
The former couple started dating in August 2020 – and in the same month they were spotted enjoying each other’s company on a night out.
They had a brief fling after Chris split up with former Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson.
An onlooker told The Sun at the time: “Chris and Mary went out for a slap-up dinner and looked really close.
“They were kissing and cuddling and were all over each other when they headed out at the end of the evening.
“They headed off in a cab to the train station together and looked really sweet together. He even tied her shoelaces for her.”

She is now with Aaron Simpson, who plays football for Sutton United.
