Ellie Brown has had a tough time of it lately.
After meeting on this year's Love Island, the reality TV star was dumped by her boyfriend Charlie Brake on Instagram, before he shamelessly revealed he had a new squeeze by posting a snap of the pair kissing on the social media site days later.
But despite everything, the star is looking onwards and upwards and is relying on her Love Island pals Kaz Crossley, Laura Anderson and Zara McDermott for support.
Speaking to The Sun, Ellie said, "Personally I am spending a lot of time with the girls at the minute.
"A lot of people ask if Love Island friendships are real friendships because you haven't known them that long but they're the only people who truly understand.
"Spending time with them brings me a lot of comfort because they truly understand everything that you feel.

Love Island couples - where are they now?
Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies (2017 Winners)
Kem and Amber stayed together for four months after they were crowned winners of the show, with Amber even moving in to Kem's family home in Essex. The pair, however, recently split for good following a string of rows and bust-ups, and a clashing of 'hectic work schedules'. They released a statement saying: "we still have a lot of love for each other and will remain good friends." Emosh... looks like Kem wasn't Amber's type on paper after all.
Jamie Jewitt and Camilla Thurlow
Jamie and Camilla still remain a couple, and Jamie's even taken trips up to Scotland to meet the fam! The pair have also done a lot of charity work together... cute.
Chris Hughes and Olivia Attwood
Chris and Olivia (AKA Barbie and Ken) have been pretty on and off since leaving the villa, with both of them facing cheating rumours. But despite the dramas the couple are still together, and Olivia has even met Chris' beloved cows. P.S you'll be happy to know Cash Hughes is still safe and sound...
Marcel Somerville and Gabby Allen
'Power couple' of the series Marcel and Gabby are still as strong as ever. Gabby has recently launched her own fitness app as her latest project, while Marcel is probably somewhere telling someone he used to be a member of Blazin' Squad.

Sam is now coupled up with Geordie Shore co-star Chloe Ferry after landing himself a spot on the reality series.
Jonny Mitchell and Tyla Carr
Even though Jonny vowed to wait for Tyla when he was dumped from the villa, he instead wasted no time at all and cosied up to fellow islander Chyna Ellis, taking her on a string of romantic dates... including a trip to Budapest.

But shortly after leaving the villa, Adam revealed their split on Twitter with one of his infamous metaphors: "It's like when you're eating a kebab after a night out and the first few bites taste good but then you realise that it really isn't nice at all!"... charming.Adam is now a professional wrestler and has a new girlfriend.
