It appeared to be a total shock to Sammy, 22, when he revealed the news, claiming that he wanted to have a face-to-face conversation to see if their relationship could be salvaged.
Tyrique and Ella Face Relationship Hurdles
Tyrique Hyde, 24, and Ella Thomas, 23, are the latest couple to face challenges. The footballer admitted in an interview on the Not My Bagg podcast that they were struggling to decide on a place to live. While Ella wants to move to London, Tyrique, an Essex native, is reluctant to leave his familiar surroundings.
With conflicting desires, Tyrique confessed, "That’s what I’m saying, one of us needs to compromise… or we don’t." He also mentioned that both he and Ella have a lot of pride, making it difficult to find common ground.
Despite their differences, Tyrique reassured fans that they were still doing well. He stated, "We don’t really argue, we just disagree or whatever."

However, Love Island fans picked up on Tyrique's comments and started speculating about the couple's stability. Some pointed out that Ella has already made a big commitment by leaving her life in Scotland, while Tyrique hesitates to move to London, which is just an hour away.
The concern grew when one fan suggested that Tyrique's reluctance to compromise might lead to Ella getting her own place in London, while he stays in Essex part of the time.
Fans also wondered if Tyrique had even visited Ella's hometown of Glasgow, further fueling doubts about their future together.
