Love Island star Toby Aromolaran has opened up about his relationship with Hugo Hammond since the series ended, admitting they are "not friends".
The two had a fraught relationship in the villa, Hugo coupling up with Chloe Burrows after she was ditched by Toby. An impassioned speech by Hugo also raised tensions – though in the end Toby and Chloe got back together and came second.
Speaking to The Mirror, Toby revealed he had bumped into his fellow Islander once, adding that things were "civil", but not friendly, between them.

"I've spoken to him just in passing comments and I think I've seen him once just passing by," he said. "It's like we're civil. We're not friends, we're not enemies, we're civil."
Toby went on to admit that "it's just one of those" things, as you can't get along with everybody.
Chloe and Toby seem to be going strong since the series came to an end, the pair even broaching the topic of marriage after they left the villa.
Meanwhile, Chloe recently addressed the show's reunion episode, responding to fan queries about whether it was awkward.
"I didn't think it was awkward at all, but maybe I'm not very good at reading the room," she told Cosmopolitan UK. "I thought the whole thing was hilarious. People hadn't seen each other in so long, and you know, it was just like, 'Hi guys'.
"But maybe there was an atmosphere. It wasn't awkward. It was a bit surreal seeing people in real life again, and you're trying to catch up and… I don't think it was awkward. But I don't think I was concentrating on much else than me and Toby."

She added: "It was weird seeing Brad again in the flesh. When he left that was really emotional. I think it was the first big OG dumping. We were all in hysterics. It was so lovely to see him, he's doing really well.
"And then Aaron – so I was really close to him in the villa, I'd not spoken since I left on Instagram, so that was really nice. It was nice to see everyone, see what they're up to."
