A NEWLY-SINGLE Love Island hunk has been spotted on a date with his bombshell ex - just weeks after splitting from his girlfriend.
Ciaran Davies and Nicole Samuel made it to the Love Island final during last summer's series.
But their villa romance was rocked when Casa Amor bombshell Ellie Jackson arrived and revealed she and Ciaran had been messaging on the outside.
Ciaran later claimed he and Ellie had met briefly on a night out before Love Island.
But The Sun can reveal that, following his shock split from Nicole last month, he and Ellie have reconnected.
An insider told us: "They have recently refollowed each other on Instagram and have been getting to know each other on a more romantic level since his split with Nicole.
"They have been spotted around his local town of Bridgend together and looked cosy as they grabbed a coffee."
And it seems that Nicole is also ready to move on from her relationship with Ciaran.
The Sun told last week how All Stars bosses approached Nicole to enter the villa as a last-minute bombshell - and she was considering it.
A source said: "She doesn’t have long to decide and is still unsure about it but is heavily considering it, given the amount of people she knows in the villa and the fact she’s newly-single."
Nicole and Ciaran's split blindsided fans as it came just weeks after she opened up about starting a family with him.
She told heat: "If I didn’t think we were going to get married and have babies one day, we wouldn’t be together, so I’d say that’s definitely on the cards in the future. Ci would be an amazing dad.”
But a rep for the pair told us last month: “Over the last couple of days Nicole and Ciaran have made the mutual decision to part ways.
“They have left the relationship on amicable terms, and will remain good friends going forward.”
