Love Island couple secretly SPLIT just days after villa exit
LOVE Island’s Catherine Abaje and Elom Ahlijah-Wilson have split – just days after leaving the villa.
The news comes as Scott – who was previously coupled with Catherine – lost his place on the ITV dating show.
An insider said: “The pair struggled to make it work in the real world and barely saw each other since the show ended.
“They kept up a bit of a pretence, while they did the podcast circuit, but everyone knew it was over before it even really started.
“Catherine’s sister made no secret about her feelings towards Elom so it’s no surprise she cooled things off straight away.”
The decision won’t come as much as a surprise to fans after Elom said on a podcast he was ‘concentrating’ on himself.
Asked if he wanted a relationship, he replied, “Do you know what it is, like…” before the pair erupted into laughter and Catherine asked, “Is that a no?”
Elom continued: “Currently, I want to focus on myself. Coming out of the villa is like a thing where there’s obviously a lot of light on both of us innit and we both need to focus on ourselves.
Meanwhile, Catherine appeared on a live with Whitney’s sister who told her Scott’s family loved her – and she looked delighted.
Catherine confirmed the news of the split – saying they had decided to be just friends.
The Irish beauty was coupled with Scott in the villa but met Elom during Casa Amor and brought him back to the villa – in a move that shocked the nation.
Viewers felt that Scott never really got over the split and struggled to find a connection with anyone else.
He left the villa last night alongside Abi Moores.
