Shannon Singh has reunited with her DJ ex Ben Sterling after splitting with him before entering the Love Island villa.
The reality star, 23, who was the first to be eliminated from this year’s show, sparked rumours she’d rekindled her romance with Ben after the pair posed together while on a night out in pictures posted on social media.
However, while Shannon has confirmed she is back with her ex, she insists she is not taking things too seriously for now.
She told the MailOnline: ‘Ben and I bumped into each other a few weeks ago at a festival and we have decided to see where things go.
‘Nothing is official but we are really enjoying each other’s company right now and not putting any pressure on things.’
Sharing a picture of herself and Ben on Instagram last week, Shannon wrote: ‘Find your happiness folks and make sure you keep it.’

The couple met in 2020 but split in March this year, with Shannon later going on to appear on Love Island at the end of June.
Shannon launched a social media campaign to encourage her followers to embrace their bodies this week.
The model posed naked with the word ‘mine’ painted all over her body in a bid to encourage others to learn how to feel comfortable in their own skin.
Sharing the picture on Instagram, she wrote: ‘I’m SO SO excited to launch my own wee social media campaign called #Ilovemine. It’s time to stop giving our “likes” to other people and to start liking ourselves.
‘We deserve to celebrate ourselves. I want us all to start celebrating what we like and love about ourselves.
‘Every day I want to see you posting a positive message about yourselves that I will be sharing and reposting!

‘Whether it be you celebrating your kindness, your creativity, your eyes, your good hair day, the birthmark you’ve always loathed – post something unique to you that you might not have always shown kindness to in the past.’
Shannon is hoping to encourage kindness and positivity online where people see modified images that can fuel a personal insecurities.
She added: ‘This is about us embracing ourselves and encouraging positive conversation about ourselves.
