A FORMER Love Island star has opened up about the reasons why he split with a new bombshell coming in this season.
Tiffany Leighton recently entered the villa hoping to make waves and steal someone's man.
Her ex Alex Eraclides went on the winter version of the show back in 2020.
He didn't find lasting romance on Love Island, and ended up dating Tiffany on and off a year after his appearance on the ITV series.
Although the pair saw each other intermittently for three years, Alex revealed that he never saw things as serious between them.

He told OK! Magazine: "I would like to clear up me and Tiffany was never in a relationship or exclusive.
"Just more one sided affair in terms of feelings, but we saw each other on and off for the last three years and stopped talking for good in April.
"I wish her the best of luck on the show and hope she finds someone she clicks with!"
Although most of his message was peaceable, he then made a little dig, adding: "Ain’t got anything bad to say about the girl, even though it ended a little sour."
Since Tiffany joined the current cast of the dating show as a bombshell she has been grafting Ronnie Vint.
However, viewers are already suspicious of her intentions, with some claiming she is using him just to solidify her position in the villa.
One person remarked: "Tiff doesn’t actually seem too thrilled about Ronnie."
Another added: "Tiffany defo doesn’t like Ronnie, she’s not even reciprocating the kiss properly."
The HR coordinator from Hertfordshire stole Ronnie away from Harriett after she had only been coupled up with him for a day.
This led to the dancer exclaiming "can you give us a chance?" - after she had only just managed to capture Ronnie's attention away from original partner Jess White.
