LOVE Island star Jessy Potts has revealed her move to Manchester - after being linked to a villa hunk.
Jessy, 26, coupled up with reality star Joey Essex, 34, during last summer's series of the ITV2 show.
However, The Sun revealed the pair ultimately split just seven weeks after leaving the villa.
Taking to TikTok, Jessy shared her decision to swap London for Manchester.
The star revealed she is "in the process" of moving up north after spending three years in the capital.
She added: "Basically, for the longest time, I have wanted to move to Manchester.
"I have lived in London for three years now, nearly three years. And I just think I'm over it.
"Obviously, not having any commitments or responsibilities kind of gives me that option to be able to move to Manchester. Or just do something."
The star said while she "has a job", it is "very flexible" and can be done from anywhere.
Jessy continued: "I also know a lot of people who live in Manchester, so I've got a lot of friends or whatever up there already.
"My sister used to go to Uni there and so did my friend, so I feel like I know the place quite well already.
"I will be back in London quite often for events and work, so I wouldn't be completely missing it.

"I am also at that point in my life where within the next year, two years, I would like to buy a house.
"So, I figured, if I'm going to want to maybe consider moving or buying a house up there at some point, I should live there for a bit before - to see if it is somewhere I'd like to buy."
One of her followers commented: "I get it, I don't think I'd like living in London it's sooo busy, Manchester is nice tho."
Another wrote: "Good luck in Manchester."
A third remarked: "The weather is so bad in Manchester always raining and cold up there."
The Sun revealed last month that Jessy, 26, was seen checking out of The Londoner in the West End with Love Island hunk Scott Thomas after a romantic night in the capital watching Back To The Future the musical.
Salford-born Scott, 36, first appeared in series two before returning for All Stars earlier this year.
However, the two reportedly called time on their romance after realising they weren't compatible.
A source told The Sun: "Jessy and Scott went on one date but decided they were better off as friends.
