‘Callum’s actions are unforgivable & I won’t speak to him again,’ says Love Island’s Jess as she breaks silence on split
LOVE Island legend Jess Gale has broken her silence on her shock split from Callum Jones – saying his actions were “unforgivable”.
The 24-year-old recently split from Callum after the couple made it to the final of Love Island All Stars in February.
Jess, who entered the All Stars villa alongside her twin sister Eve, said she was left hurt by Callum after finding out something prior to their split.
The blond bombshell exclusively told The Sun: “It didn’t fizzle out, things happened and there was this thing at Molly [Smith’s] clothing event.
“I found out something prior to the event and something that you can’t really come back from.
“We don’t speak now and I guess a line has been drawn under that.
“After certain bits of information came to light, I wouldn’t want to speak to Callum and after that, it was done.”
Jess admitted there is still some bad blood between the pair, saying: “I don’t want to hold grudges but it wouldn’t say he is a friend.”
She explained: “That wasn’t actually what the issue was, there was something that happened before the event and then that whole leaving with a girl – he didn’t actually leave with that girl.
“That was a separate thing that was a bit strange, but I found out something prior to the event that we discussed at the event.
“And then from that I decided I didn’t want to speak to Callum again and then obviously there was him pictured with that girl after that event.
“The next day I looked at the news and saw the headlines ‘Jess and Callum have split after he leaves with a girl at event’, that was a bit unrelated to what happened. But it was all a bit weird.”
Jess said she would have preferred to have had a proper conversation with Callum – but the pair ended up clashing in front of guests at the event hosted by his ex girlfriend Molly.
Jess told us: “I feel like what would have happened is that we would have had a private conversation, but because we had the conversation at the event…I didn’t even put out a statement but there were pictures and people saying they heard us speaking at the event.”
When asked if what Callum did was unforgivable, Jess simply replied: “Yes it is.”
She then appeared to take a swipe at her ex for lapping up female attention since leaving the villa.
When asked if Callum was faking his feelings, Jess said: “I don’t think so and I’d like to hope he wasn’t, I think in the villa he was genuine and coming out I don’t think he faked anything.
“He’s not even young, but he’s a typical guy, he was in a relationship for a long time, he’s just come out of that relationship and is getting a lot of attention and wants to enjoy the attention.”
The TV favourite said she’s now taking a step back to focus on herself and her career.
She shared: “I honestly feel like when I first came out I was in a bit of a bubble.
“I came out with Callum and it was good but we’re not speaking anymore.
“But I now feel like I’ve stepped away from the bubble and I feel like I’m getting back to myself.
“It is very overwhelming when you first come out and only recently I feel like I’m stepping out of the bubble and getting back to my normal self.”
Jess was also adamant that she would not date another Islander after her experience with Callum.
She went on: “I’m not actively dating, I’m busy with work and busy with myself and travelling. But I’m open.
“I don’t tend to go for Love Islanders, I think after Callum, I don’t want to be with another Islander.”
Despite being unlucky in love, this has not put Jess off from one day appearing on another series of Love Island.
“I don’t think I’d do another UK Love Island, I think that would be pushing it but they seem to do different variations of it, so we’ll see what happens,” she laughed.
“Celebs Go Dating… if I happen to be single at the time, it’s a possibility.”
Showdown
Last month Jess and Callum, 27, were involved in a huge public bust-up while attending his ex Molly Smith‘s clothing launch.
A source at the time told The Sun: “Callum and Jess have been hanging on a by a thread but it’s very much over now.
“Everyone was shocked to see them arguing and then Callum was seen cosying up with another blonde.
“Jess left the party alongside her mates and Demi Sims, putting the drama behind her.”
Callum was later seen exiting the bash hand-in-hand with reality star Thea Thompson.
Jess entered the All Stars villa as a bombshell alongside her twin sister Eve.
Eve left the show with Casey O’Gorman but their romance quickly fizzled out.
And Eve recently confirmed she is dating former Towie star Demi.
Demi, 27, spilled the beans on the latest episode of her new podcast, Sims Squared, with her sister Frankie.
She confirmed: “Me and Eve went on a date last week for anyone watching and it was our first date, wasn’t it?”
Eve said: “We kind of had other dates, but it’s not been a date date. That was like our first date,” before adding, “I had the best time.”
