Love Island stars Trey Norman and Ellie Jackson have split – and the former has already been spotted out on a date with the ex-partner of a former Strictly Come Dancing star.
The Islanders, who met during Casa Amor, were brutally axed from the ITV show earlier this month after receiving the fewest public votes in a shock dumping.
Following their exit at the time, talking about his relationship with Trey, 24, said: ‘Ellie and I hit it off from the start, that initial chemistry and attraction. I love how she lives a similar corporate life to me.’
He continued: ‘There was that, coupled with the sexual chemistry, we were inseparable. No dates arranged yet, but I’m sure we’ll talk and get something organised’.
However, it seems he has already moved on after being spotted holding hands on a date with dancer AJ Pritchard’s ex-girlfriend Abbie Quinnen, 27, reports The Sun.

The pair looked loved-up as they packed on the PDA for their first time meeting up, before attending the red carpet premiere of Transformers One.
An insider told the publication: ‘Trey and Abbie have been texting non stop. When he was down in London this week he took Abbie out for their first date.’
They added: ‘It’s early days but there’s a definite spark.’
Professional dancer AJ, 29, and Abbie split in 2022 after four years together and Abbie has been single ever since – meanwhile, AJ is currently dating model Zara Zoffany.
The split came after she allegedly caught AJ messaging another women in October 2022.
Dancer and influencer Abbie said everything was normal until AJ travelled to South America in September for a month to film The Challenge.
She said how during the first part of the trip things seemed fine between them, with the pair doing video calls but then he had his phone taken away to film the show.
Abbie explained how when he eventually got his phone back he ‘seemed completely distracted and different’.

AJ then returned home and the pair discussed proposals after watching Ferne McCann get engaged on her TV show.
But Abbie noticed he was on his phone a lot a lot to someone he was on the show with, and that when she questioned him he ‘went cold on her’.
At the time, she told The Sun: ‘I’m completely devastated and my world has fallen apart.
‘AJ isn’t the person I thought he was, after everything I went through with him I thought we would be together forever.
‘He was completely emotionless and ended everything. He told me he no longer loved me and didn’t want to be with me anymore.’
It comes after rumours Abbie was set to enter the Love Island villa as a second celebrity bombshell, following Joey Essex, 33.
The dancer had supposedly been lined up to head to Mallorca, according to The Sun, who claimed she was in talks with producers for weeks over the decision and ‘can’t wait to get into the villa and mix things up’.
A source said: ‘Abbie has become well-known in her own right and after her break up with AJ she fancied a fresh chance at love. Joey went in as the first big bombshell and Abbie is waiting in the wings for the call up.’
Abbie and AJ’s split was one year after Abbie suffered serious burns when a viral social media stunt went wrong (Pictured on Lorraine in 2022)
Abbie and AJ’s split was one year after Abbie suffered serious burns when a viral social media stunt went wrong.
She was involved in a freak fire accident which took place when she was filming a YouTube video with her then-boyfriend AJ, in which they attempted to turn a wine bottle into a vase.
Abbie said the injuries meant that she and AJ had to have therapy sessions and she once found him ‘crying hysterically’ as he struggled to cope with the aftermath.
The professional dancer needed three skin grafts after her YouTube skit went wrong in 2021 and her hair, skin and face were engulfed in flames.
Speaking on Lorraine in 2022, she said: ”It completely blew up and I was engulfed in flames. I didn’t know if I would ever look the same again if I would get my movement back.
‘The burns unit looked after me so well. I felt like I looked horrific and if AJ or my family saw me it would break their hearts. I was embarrassed of how I looked. It was a lot of trauma.
Despite the traumatic experience, Abbie explained that she did not need further surgery and was ‘feeling so much better’ as she got her confidence back.
