Love Island champion Millie Court found herself in an excruciatingly awkward situation during a recent podcast appearance, just weeks after her shock split from fellow winner Liam Reardon.
The reality TV star, who shot to fame on the 2021 series, visibly squirmed as hosts of the Saving Grace podcast probed about her recent breakup during what was supposed to be a light-hearted recording session.
Uncomfortable Questions Surface
Court, 27, had joined the podcast expecting to discuss fashion and lifestyle topics, but conversation quickly turned to her personal life. The Essex native attempted to deflect questions about her separation from Reardon, who she met during their winning stint on the ITV2 dating show.
"It was painfully obvious Millie didn't want to discuss the breakup," an audience member revealed. "She kept trying to steer the conversation back to safer topics, but the hosts seemed determined to get the gossip."
Tension Fills the Room
Witnesses described the atmosphere as increasingly uncomfortable as the questioning continued. Court's body language reportedly became defensive, crossing her arms and avoiding eye contact when the subject of her former partner arose.
The fashion influencer, who recently launched her own clothing line, attempted to maintain her composure but clearly struggled with the unexpected line of questioning about her failed romance.
From Reality TV Golden Couple to Splitsville
Court and Reardon had been considered one of Love Island's success stories after meeting on the show and winning the series together. Their split announcement last month devastated fans who had followed their relationship journey.
The pair had purchased a £1 million home together in Essex last year, making their separation particularly surprising to followers of the reality stars.
This awkward podcast incident marks one of Court's first public appearances since the breakup, suggesting the 25-year-old might still be navigating the emotional aftermath of the split while in the public eye.
