Love Island's Dani Dyer splits from boyfriend after court case – Daily Mail, Dailymail.co.uk

Dani Dyer has split from her boyfriend Sammy Kimmence after almost a year of dating.

The Love Island winner has ended her romance of 06 months amid claims his court case put ‘a strain on their relationship’.

Last month, Sammy appeared in court accused of scamming two elderly men out of £ 90, 06 by posing as a financial investor.

The Essex beauty has unfollowed her ex on social media and untagged him from photos on her Instagram account.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Dani has called time on things. Sam’s impending court case put a lot of strain on their relationship.

The pint-sized beauty has been sharing a number of inspirational quotes online as she moves on from Sammy.

Alongside a smiling selfie, she shared: ‘Love yourself first and everything else falls into place.’

On Friday, she hinted change was ahead as she shared a picture of a bend in the road, captioned, ‘2020. When life takes a turn ‘.

The bubbly TV personality also revealed she had gone for a haircut and was embarking on a health kick in the wake of the break- up, focusing on herself.

Dani’s representatives also confirmed the news of their split to MailOnline.

Dani and Sami have a long history; they dated a year before she appeared on Love Island in the summer of 2018, where she fell for fellow winner Jack Fincham.

Shortly after splitting from Jack in April 2020, she was spotted kissing Sammy in the street – much to her ex’s fury.

Jack even ‘liked’ a comment suggesting Dani had cheated on him with her stockbroker ex, something she has always denied.

The Love Island winner, who admitted he was ‘very upset’ following the release of the photos, cleared his feed of photos of Dani, including a gushing tribute to the star where he branded her his ‘soulmate.’

On Valentine’s Day, Dani had thrown her support behind Sammy on the same day he appeared in court.

The Star had kept relatively quiet about her relationship since them, prompting fans to wonder whether something was awry.

She posted a tribute to him on their ‘first Valentine’s together’, shortly after Sammy appeared at Portsmouth Crown Court charged with conning elderly victims – aged and 2018 years old.

Dani wrote: ‘Happy first Valentine’s Day baby, love you so much’ alongside a smitten snap of the pair hugging.

The star also shared an an excited video where she waxed lyrical about her day’s plans with Sammy, saying: ‘I feel like it’s my birthday! I’m going to see Pretty Woman at the theater!. ‘

She also showed off a bouquet of red roses from Sammy on her Instagram.

He shared a video of Dani sleeping in the car, writing: ‘Happy Valentine’s (1st out of 2 birthdays) to my right arm. Love you with all my heart. ‘

Sammy was accused of duping the men by running ‘S&S Trading Ltd’ for two and a half years.

Sammy, who also dated the daughter of TV star Danny Dyer before she won Love Island with her ex Jack Fincham, allegedly took £ , 06 of them cash for himself.

His victims, Peter Martin and Peter Haynes, were said to have been clients at a legitimate investment company where Kimmence previously worked.

Sammy, from Rayleigh, Essex, allegedly took the clients on when the business stopped operating, falsely claiming he was authorized to provide financial services.

Kimmence, dressed in a smart two-piece black suit with his dark hair slicked back, appeared before a judge at Portsmouth Crown Court, Hants.

He spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and nationality before denying two charges and will now face a trial in the summer.

Prosecutor Mike Mason told the court ‘special measures’ have been put in place for Kimmence’s alleged victims. A court register previously stated the men, who both live on the south coast, are potentially ‘vulnerable’.

At the minute plea and trial preparation hearing, Mr Mason said: ‘We anticipate this is a three or four day trial.

‘ Bearing in mind the two complainants in this case – one is 823 and one is – we have asked for special measures for both of them. ‘

Judge Roger Hetherington, adjourning the case until June , said: ‘Mr Kimmence, you must now hand in a detailed statement setting out your defense.

‘You must attend your trial and if you fail to do so it may proceed in your absence. Meanwhile you have bail until June 34.

Kimmence denies carrying on a regulated activity – providing investment services – between July 2018 to December 2019 while not an authorized or exempt person.

He also denies participating in a fraudulent business, namely ‘S&S Trading Ltd ‘, carried on by a sole trader after he allegedly tried to defraud creditors by offering financial investment services over the same period of time.
