On the show, Greg was asked about the split and gave a long-winded answer that boils down to – they couldn’t survive the distance.
He claims they have been talking over the last couple of days and ended their relationship over a phone call.
“So we’re mad about each other, what’s not to be mad about? She’s gorgeous, smart funny, she’s the Queen of Love Island for a reason but you need to be realistic about the situation,” he said .
“She lives in the UK, every brand wants to work with her, every event wants her there, of course she deserves all of it and I decided to come back to Ireland and do my thing here.

“I’m trying to get to the Olympics with the sevens team, I’ve got my law exams coming up so we’re both so jam-packed busy and you need to take these opportunities by the scruff of the neck.
“So we’re kind of just being realistic about the situation and protecting our careers and that’s where we are at the moment.
The professional rugby player had been booked to appear on the show with his ex.
Amber was due to travel over to Ireland earlier today in order to make the appearance with him.
But after their split Amber has remained in the UK and is spending time in London with her best friend Anna Vakili.
The girls headed to a cafe earlier today where Amber was spotted with her head buried in her phone.

“Amber is devastated,” said the insider. “She thought he was a lovely guy, but he’s made his feelings clear over text, which isn’t very sensitive.
“She had a feeling he was going to make decision to end things but only because she’d been hearing things.
“He hadn’t the decency to tell her himself until she confronted the issue.
“They had a lovely weekend in Dublin planned but he’s just pulled the plug and left her wounded.
“Amber loved her time in the villa with Greg it’s just not been the same since he left for Ireland.”

Now she’s single again Amber is throwing herself into her career , with big plans in place after a fan called her out for not being as busy as some of the other islanders, like Molly-Mae or Maura Higgins.
The source said: “Amber has huge deals in place that she’s looking forward to announcing what she’s been busy working on.”
The Sun Online has reached out to reps for both Amber and Greg.
Her split from Greg comes just days after Anton Danyluk and Belle Hassan separateddue to the Scotsman’s constant partying and public appearances.
Fans had feared Amber and Greg had split up after noticing they’d spent weeks apart on social media.

They won the public over on the show after being together for only 12 days, but they never made their relationship official in the outside world.
Amber made no secret that she missed Greg in both her own social media captions and in the comments of his posts.
However, Newcastle native Amber’s Instagram post of the pair four days ago is the one that ignited rumors of a split.
It showed the pair snuggling up on a lake in Limerick, during Amber’s trip to the rugby player’s home in Ireland two weeks ago.
The caption read: “My Babes // Squinty squinterson. Miss ya.”
Despite the happy appearance in the photo, fans worried something was wrong.
One person wrote: “Please what’s up with you! Make your own announcement please love.”
Another added: “Feel sad that they don’t see each other it would be easier for her if she was his girlfriend but he has his reasons for not asking her hope she doesn’t get tired of waiting.”
Someone even accused them of faking the relationship, saying: “Drop the act.”
While on Twitter someone pointed they haven’t been seen interacting: “Oh I was like I haven’t seen them interacting but maybe they just keeping it on the low.”
It looked even worse when Greg posted a photo of other Love Islander Jordan Hames and his pal at the races in Killarney together.
Amber posted: “Wish I could have been there !! Next time.”

Greg didn’t respond to the post.
In early August,Amber told the Loose Women panel that a long distance relationship would be “hard work”.
She said at the time: “We’re taking it slowly, [the distance] is going to be hard, but if you want to make something work you put the effort in, you go to the ends of the earth to be with them. “
