Former Love Island winners Toni Laites and Cach Mercer narrowly avoided an awkward reunion at the BAFTA TV Awards red carpet. The ex-couple, who won the 2025 season in August, split in March after seven months together.

Near-Miss on the Red Carpet

The pair almost came face-to-face for the first time since their public breakup following a heated argument at the BRIT Awards. Cach arrived first in a tartan jacket, black trousers, and smart shoes, while Toni turned heads 20 minutes later in a silver plunging maxi dress.

Post-Split Reflections

When asked about returning to Love Island for an All-Stars spin-off, Toni declined, saying, "I'm gonna pass on the dating shows for now. I love the Americans going on the new seasons, but they'll never be me!"

Relationship Timeline

Fans first suspected a split when Toni and Cach unfollowed each other on social media after the BRITs. A source told The Sun, "It's definitely over. They were on the rocks for a while, and the BRITs were the final straw."
