Love Island stars unfollow each other as split turns bitter – after he's spotted with stunning influencer
LOVE Island stars Whitney Adabyo has put the final nail in the coffin after her split with Lochan Nowacki - she has unfollowed him online.
Whitney, 27, has cut off social media contact with Lochan, also 27, after their two-year relationship came to an end last month.

Lochan has since been caught cosying up to influencer Nguyen Yeats-Brown, which has sparked rumours he has already moved on.
And that appears to have been the last straw for Whitney.
Whitney has now unfollowed Lochan on Instagram, while he has also reciprocated the snub.
All photographic trace of their relationship has also been removed from their grids, proving they are well and truly over.
Love Island alumni Whitney and Lochan announced their break-up in April.
Admitting the rumours were true, Lochan said: "Hey guys, unfortunately Whitney and I's relationship has come to an end.
"Thank you for all the love and support that you've show us through our journey, we're forever grateful."
Whitney shared the identical message, only swapping out her name for Lochan's.
The couple had met on the 2023 series of Love Island after Whitney entered the villa as a bombshell.
Love Island's Whitney reveals bizarre way she reacted after Lochan dumped her - and 'real reason' he gave her
Whitney coupled up with Lochan and they made it to the final.
Although they were the bookies' favourite to win, they finished in second place.
Prior to their split announcement, Whitney had dropped a huge clue that she was no longer in a relationship with Lochan.
In a rather shady TikTok video, she appeared to hint at cheating.
Whitney was seen miming along to the Mariah the Scientist song All For Me and the lyrics, "What does she have on me?".
As she continued looking confused, the words, "She doesn't wear wigs' popped up onscreen.
Whitney captioned the post, "Oh yikes", which further added to concern from her fans.
Weeks later, Lochan was caught on camera looking close to influencer Nguyen Yeats-Brown.
EVERY year Love Island opens its doors to more sexy Islanders who are hoping for a holiday romance that could turn into more.

2020 - The first ever winter Love Island saw Paige Turley and Finn Tapp crowned winners after falling in love on the show. STATUS: Broken up.

2015 - Despite poor Jess Hayes being Max Morley's second choice on the show, they did win - but they didn't last as a couple. STATUS: Broken up.
The pair had taken part in a celebrity tennis tournament and seemed to be getting on VERY well.
In the short video, they appeared to have great chemistry and at one point Nguyen put her head on the former Islander's shoulder.
Whitney, meanwhile, said she was "bamboozled" by her relationship break-up.
Speaking on her podcast, Whitney recalled how Lochan said: "I've seen how much you've changed, and you're becoming like the woman that we always spoke about you becoming.
"And I'm just not willing to do that."
She added: "I was bamboozled. This is the person that you told me you wanted."

Lockdown businesses thriving five years after Covid
Five years ago, the Covid-19 lockdown was still in force, with wide-ranging impacts that are still being felt some, thought, it was a chance to try something different and launch a have they fared and was the gamble worth it? 'It was really something to keep me busy' This weekend Leah Sigsworth will open a pop-up shop in London's Fitzrovia to mark five years since the birth of Ethereal 23, from Northamptonshire, started the company in her parents' back garden during lockdown."When I started, it was really something to keep me busy. It was for my own mental health; it was something to do during the loneliness of the Covid lockdown," she September 2020, she had begun a creative writing degree at the University of Lincoln, and carried on with the business, working with her boyfriend, Hugh Walker, also now 23. "Then, when I graduated, I sat down with Hugh, and my parents and said, 'Can we do this full-time?' and we did."Leah, who was was state educated at Sharnbrook Academy, Bedfordshire, says: "I fell in love with being a business owner. I liked the freedom. It's given us so much;it's actually insane thinking about it.""We only launched on Tiktok Shop in November last year, which went crazy, I now have about 227,000 followers. "We've been to TikTok headquarters a couple of times since. It's probably about 70% of our business, with the rest through website sales and Instagram, where I have 27,000 followers." The business now employs four people, including her mother Cara Sigsworth and occasionally her father Richard and sister Sophie, 20."We're also looking at some new external hires as well," says year she decided to travel the world with Hugh while working remotely. "We were also saving for our own home. We found a cottage for sale when we came back from travelling, put an offer in, it was accepted and five months later, in December, we moved in." As the online face of the brand, she frequently appears in social media posts but prides herself on always being herself."I don't always have a full face of makeup, and my hair sometimes looks absolutely hideous, and I'll make videos in my pyjamas," she says."I think sharing every day on social media is sometimes tough because you are sharing when all the bad things happen, so I've tried to be really open and honest."I'll say 'Look guys, I'm really struggling with anxiety this week', or if we've had a really rubbish week because of an email a customer has sent me."Mostly, though, life is good."I've started a brand, it's given me a lot of hope and it all happened by accident," she says. 'Entrepreneurship could be a very rewarding career path' Oksana Koryak, a lecturer in entrepreneurship at Cranfield University, Bedfordshire, says the Covid pandemic created "a window of time for people to actually concentrate, and create the mindspace to think about something that might be a viable business idea".She says: "It was a catalyst for some entrepreneurial soul-searching."I think we all have it within us. It's not something that you're born with, it's a combination of the environment that you've been exposed to and opportunities that come your way."One thing for would-be entrepreneurs to remember, she says, is that younger people are very "TikTok-driven".She says: "It's creating a product that people might like and communicating what it is in the way that is relatable to that particular demographic; that is really important."I generally believe that entrepreneurship could be a very rewarding career path for many people."Even if we are in full employment, I think it's still important to be entrepreneurial, and to look out for opportunities on behalf of our employers, or even just as a side hustle." 'We've sold £1m worth of coffee and donuts' "It's been crazy," is how Aaron Shade, 34, from Bedford, describes the past five years. He and his fiancée Sarah Ball had successful careers in sales and to spend more time with their family, they started their own business within the travel industry. When Covid took hold, it was "wiped out", so they looked for a new challenge and started SAY Doughnuts in April 2020, from their now employs 18 people and has two shops, in Bedford and Hitchin, Hertfordshire"We started with just the two of us, selling to friends and family, and then it spread really quickly and organically, and we also sold wholesale goods to cafes and delis in surrounding towns like, Ampthill, Maulden, Woburn Sands, Newport Pagnell, Stony Stratford, Olney and Hitchin," says they outgrew the family kitchen in March 2021, they got the keys to a retail unit that they converted into a bakery. For a year they also had a shop in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, but it closed in late 2024. "We will expand again, but we have to be cautious. I would like to be in Cambridge," he says. "I'm still normal, I still live in my same house but we've sold over £1m worth of coffee and doughnuts.""It sounds like we should be flying, but that's not how business works."We've lost a lot in Berkhamsted and still have to live off this business with no salaries coming in from anywhere else."The business is "looking at the future", he says."We're a household name in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, with 16,600 followers on Instagram. "It's insane. Not many businesses get this far. We've lent on friends and family to get us here."It's been a bit of a rollercoaster.
