Love Island star Reuben Collins revealed the real reason he deleted all his Instagram photos with his ex Grace Jackson and reveals they still speak often.
Chatting to hosts Bobby Norris and Ellen Coughlan on the showbiz gossip programme Access All Areas, the reality star revealed why he removed Grace from his Instagram despite ending on “mutual” terms: “There is a lot of confusion with the people who were following us and thinking we are still together. So even today, I put the statement up on my social media saying we’ve split and people are still messaging me saying “ Wait are you guys still together? What’s going on?” I just think considering the situation it’s the best thing to do.
He went on to praise his ex: “I don’t have a bad word to say about the woman. We’ve been talking since, we still talk and stuff. We’re still friends. She is shining right now, she is killing it. Everything I have said before I stand by it. 100%”
Later in the interview, Reuben responded to questions on whether he believe Grace Jackson and Omar Nyame would get together: “From what I’ve seen I see they are just good friends and I don’t think they are any more than that. I just think that things are getting blowing out of proportion. I wish Grace nothing but the best. Whatever makes her happy. You do your thing and I’ll do mine. I like Omar he’s a cool guy like everyone on that show I liked.”
He also revealed which couples he believed would make it long term: “Definitely Ciaran [Davies] and Nicole [ Samuel] they are literally made for each other. They’re like magnets for each other. I’m also the biggest cheerleader for Mimii [Ngulube] and Josh [Oyinsan]. I’m their biggest fan so I really hope they make it.”
