Love Island winners Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan have split, just two months after soaring to victory in the villa.

Mimii, 24, and Josh, 29, were crowned the winners of Love Island series 11 last month and took home the £50,000 cash prize. 

But Mimii has confirmed that despite trying to work things out after leaving the villa in July, the pair have decided to call it quits.

Sharing a statement with fans, Mimii said: 'Hi everyone, I know that a lot of you have been wondering about Josh and I and why we haven't been making appearances.

'The truth is we have been trying to figure it out since leaving the villa, but unfortunately things aren't going to work out between us right now.'

'I know it's a big disappointment for a lot of you as it is for me too, your support for us hasn't gone unnoticed and I will forever be grateful for it, you guys are the reason we made it to this point. God bless you all.'

Fans had raised concerns about the couple as they were rarely seen out in public together. 

Mimii and Josh attended the National Television Awards together earlier this month for the ceremony on September 11.

But before that their only public appearance together was on August 2 when they went on Lorraine following their win. 

When they appeared on the show last month, Josh revealed that they weren't expecting to win.

He joked: 'No, I feel like you could tell by my reaction. It’s a meme now.' 

Mimii then confessed to Lorraine that it feels so good to be home and around familiar faces as she claimed going on the show was the 'best thing I ever did for myself'. 

She said: 'It’s so good to be home, around familiar faces, embracing everything. It was a long time but we learned so much about ourselves and each other. Best thing I ever did for myself.'

Prior to Josh, Mimii and Ayo Odukoya, 25, were previously coupled up, however, Ayo's head was turned during the annual Casa Amor recoupling and he ditched her for Jessica Spencer, 25,  leaving Mimii as the only single girl in the villa. 

Mimii admitted to Lorraine that although the situation during Casa Amor 'wasn't nice' for her she confessed that everything 'worked out in the end'. 

She said: 'At the time it wasn’t nice, it was hard. I stayed true to myself and I’m glad I did. 

'I feel like what needed to happen happened and it worked out in the end because me and Josh are good now. Everything happens for a reason.''

The couple's appearance on Lorraine came after they admitted they have been left both 'proud and overwhelmed' by their historic win

During the interview, Lorraine asked Josh if he always knew it was Mimii for him to which he sweetly responded with: 'Yes. When I first met her I was like yes, there’s definitely something here.' 

During Mimii's time at the beginning of the show, she built up a bond with Joey Essex, 34, however, in the lead-up to the final there were a series of clashes between the couple and Joey. 

However, the star revealed to Lorraine that Joey has now apologised to them both off-camera after viewers complained to Ofcom over what they perceived to be bullying behaviour.
