LOVE Island star Kem Cetinay has opened up about his relationship with his former Islander and best pal, Chris Hughes.
While Kem and Chris were the epitome of bromance during their 2017 Love Island series, there have been rumours of a fallout between the once-inseparable duo.
Their friendship became a major talking point during their series - but there's a reason they are no longer as close as they once were.
Reality star Kem was talking to fans during a Q&A on TikTok when he was asked whether he still speaks to Celebrity Big Brother contestant Chris.
Talking about his relationship with the former fellow Love Islander, he said: "You know what it is, me and Chris will always be boys, man.
"We'll always be boys to the end, but he lives like two, two-and-a-half hours away from me.
"So it does make it hard to meet up as much as we would like to, but we still catch up and he's still my boy.
"He's always going to be one of my boys. Love that guy to death, man."
Kem and Chris were the first Love Island pals to land their own spin-off show.
The pair starred in a two-part series on ITV2 and fans watched their close friendship grow outside the villa in Chris & Kem Straight Outta Love Island.
They even formed the musical duo Chris & Kem and released the song Little Bit Leave It, which reached number 15 on the UK Singles Chart.
Love Island fans will remember Kem proving his affections for Chris by shaving his name into his pubic hair.
The pair even debated giving each other Love Island bracelets to symbolise their special friendship.
TV presenter Kem won the ITV2 reality show in 2017 with Amber Davies.
Kem and Amber split after just 132 days of dating after a string of rows.
Chris Hughes and Olivia Attwood had a rocky start on the show but finished third in the final.
Chris came off the show in a relationship with Olivia - but the pair split after a bumpy romance.
While the friendship between Chris and Kem remains, they have both moved on in different directions.
Chris has just opened up about family plans with girlfriend JoJo Siwa just days after revealing the pair's sex secrets.
The couple previously confirmed their romance after meeting on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year.
The pair became extremely close while they co-starred on the ITV reality show.
They spent a large chunk of time in the house cuddling and snuggling, despite JoJo's then-relationship with Kath Ebbs.
Just hours after finishing in third place on the ITV series, JoJo dumped Kath at the after-party.
Recently, horse racing correspondent Chris was open and honest about how "totally in love" he is with JoJo.
