LOVE Island winner Jess Harding has split from her boyfriend after a year of dating, The Sun can exclusively reveal.
The 24-year-old kept her relationship with carpenter Ben largely out of the spotlight but it hasn’t lasted, but even without prying eyes.

A source said: “Jess and Ben struggled to make it work after a while because they lead such different lives.
“He is a carpenter and she is an influencer – heading here, there and everywhere for work.
“They are both very career focused and felt it was better to concentrate on their careers.
“Jess has been distracting herself in Ibiza and has bonded with Whitney more than ever. They are both single and enjoying a hot girl summer.”
The Sun has contacted a rep for Jess for comment.
Beauty clinic owner Jess has been living it up in Ibiza recently, sharing sexy snaps of her in bikinis and hanging out with friends.
She’s a regular on the island and it’s where she decided to end things with villa beau Sammy.
The pair no longer speak two years on from their £50k win.
While Sammy said he would say hello if they crossed paths, he admitted they have no reason to talk anymore.
Jess reportedly told him over the phone they were “better off as friends” while partying in Ibiza in 2023 – just months after leaving the villa.
A source close to the couple told The Sun at the time: “Sammy feels blindsided by the entire situation.
“He hasn’t had any time to process Jess’ decision privately and she didn’t even give him the respect to speak face-to-face about her decision to end the relationship.
“Sammy was absolutely under the impression they could work things out once they saw each other in person again.”
