Love Island Australia's Cartier breaks down in tears as model Adam finally split up with her
LOVE ISLAND FAME
Cartier shot to fame on Love Island six years ago.
When she first entered the villa, she was coupled up with Adam Farrugia.
The pair seemed to be going strong, but in the end decided to just be friends.
Wasting no time, Cartier then moved on with co-star Matthew Zukowski, and the pair made it to the end of the show.
However, after a tense final, they ended up coming in second place to winners Anna McEvoy and Josh Packham.
The couple didn't last after they left the villa, and Cartier moved on with rugby ace Jake.
Cartier revealed she met her man in Sydney at Clovelly Beach in 2020.
"I wasn't meant to be at that beach that day, but it ended up being the easiest to get to as the traffic was awful," she told Daily Mail.
"I spotted Jake nearby in a blue hat, and we got talking - the rest is history."

Love Island girls Meg, Helena and Shakira suffer HUGE financial blow as major fashion brand refusing to sign them up
Former islanders have made millions off the back of the brand island ban Love Island girls Meg, Helena and Shakira suffer HUGE financial blow as major fashion brand refusing to sign them up Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE stars of Love Island this series will not be landing a deal from one of the major fashion brands. In the past, a number of popular contestants have cashed in with their own edits and collections for Pretty Little Thing, but this year the retailer will not be working with an islander. 5 Shakira might have been a huge hit on the show - but she won't be getting a PLT deal Credit: Splash 5 Helena is another girl who will miss out on the brand deal Credit: Splash 5 Viewers made a number of jokes about Meg trying to get a deal An insider said: 'It's a huge blow for the islanders this year, but PLT just aren't interested. 'They have had a huge rebrand recently and while there's no doubt they have made millions off the likes of Molly-Mae in the past, they will be doing things differently." Molly famously ended up as creative director for PLT after impressing bosses so much. Gemma Owen also signed a hefty deal with them off the back of her series and Ella Thomas, Grace Jackson and Uma Jammeh all worked with them too. Throughout this series, which was won by Toni and Cach, viewers made numerous references to the girls trying to land a deal - in particular Meg and Helena. But their fallout with Shakira and her gang, made people question what deals they would get. One person remarked: 'I wonder if Irish Meg will keep distance from the mean girls now she has seen what the public think of them. That PLT deal won't sign itself sis.' Another said: 'Meg just watched her PLT deal blow up in front of her. Dejon you bad boy.' While a third added: 'Helena is OBSESSED with Shakira omfg, somebody tell Helena she ain't getting that PLT deal from Shakira no matter how hard she tries I beg'. Molly-Mae had long had an affiliation with the brand having secured a big-money deal with the Manchester based retailer following her exit from Love Island. Molly Mae cruelly mum-shamed after quitting £5m PLT job to concentrate on baby Bambi However, she shocked fans when she announced that she would be stepping down from her reported £5million-a-year role as Creative Director in order to focus on motherhood. In June 2023, Molly confirmed that she had quit her mega-money fashion job. She was paid a reported £400,000 per month. In March of this year returning CEO Umar Kamani threw his 'A Legacy in Progress' Party at the Caviar Kaspia in Paris. A string of A-list stars attended, including supermodel Naomi Campbell, actress and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, actor Ed Westwick, boxing champion Anthony Joshua, socialite Cindy Bruna, and fashion influencer Leonie Hanne all graced the event. A Legacy in Progress marked a pivotal moment in PrettyLittleThing's ongoing transformation. He said at the time: 'People talk about the old PLT. This PLT is going to be far better.' 5 Molly Mae famously worked with PLT for years Credit: Getty 5 Gemma Owen also had her own edit Credit: instagram
