“I was like heartbroken – and when I say heartbroken, I went down to seven stone like. I was depressed.
She added: “Then I found out he was on Tinder within like a week.
“I was like: ‘You little s***. Right, if you can do Tinder, well guess what? I can do Love Island then. So, f*** off.’ And that’s what I did.”
