Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki had a huge fight at the National Reality TV Awards, sparking speculation that they have split.
The Love Island couple attended the event together on Wednesday night at Porchester Hall in London, where Lochan received the award for Best Male Personality.
But the night ended with the pair unfollowing each other on Instagram and Whitney deleting several posts featuring her and Lochan.
Their heated row comes a year after they came close to winning Love Island last summer over Jess Harding and Sammy Root, who split shortly after the ITV2 series ended.
And following Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan’s win this week, after becoming the first black couple to win the £50,000 prize, Whitney said it was “overdue” and a “moment that needs to be celebrated”.

The Love Island couple attended the event together on Wednesday night, where Lochan received the award for Best Male Personality.
But the night ended with the pair unfollowing each other on Instagram and Whitney deleting several posts featuring her and Lochan.
Their heated row comes a year after they narrowly missed out on winning Love Island last summer against Jess Harding and Sammy Root, who split shortly after the ITV2 series ended.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Whitney and Lochan certainly didn’t look happy at the National Reality TV Awards last night.
‘It was surprising to see, considering they were among their co-stars and they are normally very relaxed, but it was clear they were in the middle of a huge feud.
‘They’ve been arguing a lot lately and their romance is hanging by a thread.
‘Whitney has also deleted recent photos of her and Lochan, and some friends say there’s no way they’ll ever have a lasting relationship again.’
The pair appeared on Love Island spin-off show Aftersun in June, with Lochan captioning a picture of them together in the London TV studio: “I smile non-stop when I’m with you.”
He continued: “I still can’t believe we met on a show. It doesn’t even seem like it. You make me want to be a better man and push me to reach new goals.”
They were the fan favourites to win the series last year, but Jess and Sammy took the title, surprising audiences.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Whitney and Lochan for comment.
Lochan recently declared his love for Whitney on Instagram, saying in June: ‘You make me want to be a better man and you push me to new heights.’
The pair appeared in good spirits on Love Island spin-off show Aftersun as they joined presenter Maya Jama in the London studios.
Whitney congratulated Love Island 2024 winners Mimii and Josh, who became the first black couple to win the show this week.
Mimii and Josh made Love Island history after becoming the first black couple to win the series, which Whitney says was a triumphant moment for all previous black contestants.
She explained: ‘It’s a moment that needs to be celebrated, it’s gone down in history in a proper way and I feel it’s about time.’
‘There have been so many black women appearing on reality shows and not getting praise.
‘I think Samira was the first black girl to go on Love Island, but now there’s been Yewande, Kaz, Rachel, Lianne, Indiyah, Catherine, there’s been me, there’s been a lot of us, but we’ve never been given our flowers.
“So, it’s not about Mimii winning, it’s about her representing the many of us who came before her, as well as the black girls who look up to her.”
