The former 'Love Island' couple announced their split on social media this week but although they are no longer together the will be reuniting for a pre-booked PA at Gloucester nightclub 'ATIK' because they don't want to let their fans "down".

Speaking to The Sun Online, a source said: "Both Georgia and Sam are still booked to attend the PA. They don't want to let anybody down by pulling out - so they'll both do it together as planned."

The 25-year-old personal trainer confirmed that he and Georgia - who got together on the ITV2 reality show - had split in a Twitter post, which read: "I'm devastated to announce me and Georgia have split up for reasons I cant bring myself to comment on at the moment. As always I wish her all the best."

Amid speculation Georgia had been involved with an ex-lover again, the brunette beauty - who created her own catchphrase on 'Love Island' with her constant proclamations that she is a "loyal" person - took to her Instagram to tell her followers that Sam had falsely accused her of cheating.

She posted: "Last night Sam told me he was going to the press so I just want to make clear ahead of any interviews he does that there was NO third party involved in the break up between them and I.

"Sam thinks I cheated because he went through my phone, read and took screen shots of banter I had between me and my best mate ... The banter was about my ex boyfriend from which he's then put two and two together and come up with an imaginary scenario. (sic)"

Despite the pain of the break-up, Georgia also insisted she would "always care" for Sam in an Instagram Story.

She said: "I'm very sad to say me and Sam have split. I will always care about him. However please understand this is a hard time for us both. Thank you."

The shock split came after their public display of affection at the ITV Palooza event in London on Tuesday (16.10.18).
