Love Island fans convinced former winner Sammy Root is dating another show star after spotting ‘clue’ on Instagram
LOVE Island fans are convinced former winner Sammy Root is dating another show star after spotting a ‘clue’ on Instagram.
The speculation began after Sammy, 23, shared a photo dump to Instagram from the past month.
In the snaps, he was seen posing on the street, with his bright green Audi, as well as with his new Towie co-star Roman Hackett and Love Island stars Ronnie Vint and Lucinda Strafford.
Newly-single Lucinda, who shot to fame on the ITV2 show in 2021, commented three white heart emojis, which he replied with.
It comes just days after the 24-year-old confirmed her split from DJ Nathan Dawe, 30.
Speaking on the White Fox After Hours podcast, Lucinda confirmed she and Nathan are no longer an item.
She said: “So I am recently single.
“You’ve actually just got to laugh or you will literally cry.
“But to be honest, my ex boyfriend is like one of the best people ever, he is so lovely and so kind. A real gent.
“I feel like we will always be friends.
“He’s a bit older as well. I feel like it’s just way more mature which I love.”
She added: “Neither of us have done anything, it’s just more the fact that both of us are so busy.
“It’s right person, wrong time.”
The Sun exclusively revealed the pair were dating back in April.
Lucinda ‘confirmed’ it all in May when she shared a snap of a beautiful room at Cave Hotel in Kent with a gold number 30 balloon on the weekend of Nathan’s 30th birthday.
A month later, Nathan confirmed their romance too as they walked the red carpet at the Jingle Bell Ball together ending weeks of speculation from fans.
Sammy won last year’s Love Island with Jess Harding, 23, but the pair split soon afterwards.
