It appears Love Island's Callum Jones has found a way to get over his split from Jess Gale - by cosying up with someone who looks an awful lot like her.
The pair reached the final together and were runners-up behind Callum's ex Molly Smith and her new partner Tom Clare and it seems they were going strong until recent news arrived that they have called it a day at Love Island co-star Molly Smith's fashion launch.
According to The Sun, Callum decided to waste no time and was later photographed leaving the party holding hands with MTV reality star Thea Thompson. The pair flashed smiles as they left the bash after they were seen getting close during the Boohoo event.
"Callum and Jess have been hanging on a by a thread but it’s very much over now," an insider told The Sun. “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.”
After leaving the villa in South Africa last month, Jess shared that they would "see how it goes naturally". Callum expressed the same sentiment, saying they were: "Very chilled and had no pressure." He also teased that they planned to go on dates.

The post has amassed more than 100,000 likes on the platform since it was uploaded. The content prompted reaction in the comments section, including apparent concern over his relationship with former co-star Jess.
Some fans were quick to suggest that Callum and Jess were no longer together. One person, in a comment that has more than 200 likes, wrote: "It's clear he's not with Jess anymore." Someone else speculated recently: "Obviously not with Jess anymore."
Others defended Callum not including Jess in the post, with one person questioning: "Does every post need to be about her?" Another asked amid discussion: "Is he allowed to post a pic without her or nah?" Addressing the speculation, one person said: "I don't think it's clear [that they aren't together] only they know."
