Georgia Steel has accused Sam Bird of creating an “imaginary scenario” after he claimed her ex-boyfriend was the reason behind their split.

Steel and Bird called time on their relationship on Thursday, weeks after they set up home together following their summer stint on Love Island.

“Devastated” Bird shut down reports Steel had cheated with her manager Steven West, instead suggesting her ex was involved.

Steel has since slammed the claim, accusing Bird of searching through her phone and mistaking “banter” for her being unfaithful.

“Last night Sam told me he was going to the press so I just want to make clear ahead of any interviews that there was NO third party involved in the break up between him and I,” she said in a statement on Instagram.

“Sam thinks I cheated because he went through my phone, read and took screen shots of banter I had between me and my best mate which he’s now threatening to sell to the press.

“The banter was about my ex-boyfriend from which he’s then put two and two together and come up with an imaginary scenario.”

Bird announced they had split on Thursday, telling fans he was too upset to comment at the time.

Posting a short statement on Twitter, he wrote: “I’m devastated to announce me and Georgia have split up for reasons I can’t bring myself to comment on at the moment.

“As always I wish her all the best.”

Bird and Steel met on Love Island and stayed together despite fans questioning how “loyal” she was.

They had a tumultuous time in the villa with them opting to split and date other bombshells at one point in a bid to remain on the ITV2 show.
