Love Island favourite finalists could be in trouble as one of the most loved contestants was reportedly seen holing hands with a Traitors star at the National Television Awards

One of Love Island’s most popular couples could be on the rocks after reports of a fallout at the National Television Awards on Wednesday night.

Beloved Love Island trio Shakira Khan, Toni Laites, and Yasmin Petett all reunited at the 2025 National Television Awards with their partners Harry Cooksley, Cach Mercer, and Jamie Rhodes. However, while two of the couples were glued to one another all night, one couple were reportedly ‘distant’ from one another.

Yasmin, 24, and Jamie, 26, arrived to the awards at London’s O2 Arena separately with brunette bombshell walking the red carpet and posing for pictures before her other half had even arrived. An hour later, Jamie turned up on the red carpet with the rest of his Love Island gang as he posed for photos alone.

While Yasmin and Jamie were later pictured together, reports have now suggested that there may have been a fallout during the night as Love Island finalist Yasmin, who was recently signed to a top modelling agency, was reportedly seen ‘holding hands’ with a very popular Traitors star.

According to Mail Online, Yasmin ‘abandoned’ Jamie after the awards ceremony and he was reportedly seen searching for her at the star-studded afterparty. Yasmin, who was playfully given the nickname YasGBT thanks to her posture in the Love Island villa, is said to have been seen ‘holding hands’ with Traitors star Freddie Fraser, 25, during the afterparty.

A source told the publication that the brunette bombshell looked cosy with Freddie and is believed to have whispered in his ear: “We need to go somewhere private, no one can see.”

“Yasmin and Jamie weren’t together at the party a lot at all, compared to Harry and Shakira and Cach and Toni, who were glued to each other’s sides. Then I saw her holding hands with Freddie and pulling him away. She said, ‘We need to go somewhere private, no one can see.’ I was totally shocked because I loved them on the show and they seemed like the best connection,” the insider claimed.

At the end of the night, Jamie was one of the last celebrities to leave the afterparty as he searched for Yasmin and tried calling her but to little success.

It comes after Love Island fan-favourite Yasmin revealed last month that she and Jamie had not yet been intimate following their time in the Spanish villa. The ITV2 icon was heartbroken after leaving the show as her beloved cat Miaow Miaow passed away while she was filming.

After leaving the villa, she revealed: “As I’ve spoken about her on the show, I’m sure a lot of you will know I have a cat called miaow miaow who’s been by my side for 11 years now. When I was filming Love Island I had a bad gut feeling something was off and when my mum and sister came into the villa I asked them and still felt like something was off.”

Revealing that her family chose not to tell of her of the tragedy at the time and she was informed by her sister once filming had finished, she added: “Rightfully they didn’t tell me because I was still in the villa but after the final I called my sister and she told me that miaow miaow had cancer and died whilst I was away filming Love Island.

“I’m trying to be as active as I can on socials, but am taking time for myself to process this heartbreak., RIP to my beautiful baby girl, you were so loved and will always be in my soul.”

The star has been grieving the loss, and Jamie has been providing her with emotional support. In a recent interview, Yasmin revealed there has been ‘no rush’ in their romance.

“I’ve been going through grief and Jamie will just sit there when I cry on him,” Yas said to The Sun. “I’ve taken a lot of time to process my emotions, so Jamie and I haven’t been intimate yet. He’s so patient. He’s never rushed that, because he knows it will happen at the right time.”

The Mirror has approached Yasmin and Jamie’s representatives for comment on this story.

After reportedly breaking up for a second time, Love Island winners Millie Court and Liam Reardon now face their joint podcast, titled Liam & Millie, potentially being dropped

Earlier this month, Millie Court and Liam Reardon broke up for the second time. Now, there are fears their podcast will also suffer a blow and be axed as the exes failed to post a new episode.

Since its inception almost a year ago, Liam & Millie, the Love Island winners’ podcast, dropped new episodes every Tuesday and Thursday but fans have been left disappointed as a new episode failed to drop this week. The last episode of was released on September 4.

Fans quickly jumped online to speculate, wondering if the end of their relationship was also the end for the podcast. One commented their lack of surprise: “How will it continue? Unless they’ve split up and remained friends?”

The split was reported earlier this month. It appeared that the couple struggled with the long-distance between Wales, where Liam lives, and Millie’s home in Essex. A source told The Sun: “Millie and Liam have tried so hard to make their relationship work. But unfortunately, the distance was just difficult and they have sadly ended their relationship for a second time.”

The pair first split less than a year after they won the seventh series of Love Island in 2021, but confirmed they got back together in May 2023.

Millie appeared to find the split hard and friends revealed she was terrified ex Liam would appear on Love Island: All Stars. Given he went on Celebs Go Dating during their last break up, she was worried he would sign up for another dating show and she would have to see him on her screen.

“Millie has told pals she is really worried Liam will do Love Island All Stars in January, and she’ll find it really painful to watch,” the source said. “She’s convinced he’ll do it because she knows bosses will want him and after they split last time in 2022, he signed up to do Celebs Go Dating.

“She hated watching him dating girls on that, and she couldn’t cope with it a second time around. Love Island All Stars would be even worse for her, as the villa is where they met and fell in love. It would like a worst nightmare scenario for her.”

A friend of Liam’s has stressed that he is in no rush to head back to the villa or any reality show. “Liam isn’t even thinking about any other TV offers at the moment, especially dating shows,” they insisted.

“He kind of rushed into doing Celebs Go Dating after the last split and regretted it, so he certainly isn’t in hurry to go back to the villa.” But they also suggested he may change his mind: “That said, it’s four months away and a lot can happen in that time.”
