Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki got into a huge fight at the National Reality TV Awards, sparking rumors that they have split.
The Love Island couple attended the event together on Wednesday evening, where Lochan accepted the award for Best Male Personality.
But the evening ended with the two unfollowing each other on Instagram and Whitney deleting a number of posts featuring her and Lochan.
Their heated disagreement comes a year after they narrowly missed out on Love Island last summer, when they were beaten by Jess Harding and Sammy Root, who split shortly after the ITV2 series ended.
And following Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan’s victory this week, becoming the first black couple to win the £50,000 prize, Whitney said it was “overdue” and “a moment that should be celebrated.”

Their heated spat comes a year after they narrowly missed out on the Love Island competition last summer to Jess Harding and Sammy Root, who split shortly after the ITV2 series ended.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Whitney and Lochan looked absolutely unhappy at the National Reality TV Awards last night.
‘It was surprising to see, as they were sitting among their fellow players and are normally very relaxed, but it was clear they were in the middle of a huge argument.
‘They’ve been arguing a lot lately and their romance is hanging by a thread.
Whitney has also deleted recent photos of her and Lochan, with some friends saying there is no going back to a long-term relationship.
The couple appeared on Love Island spin-off Aftersun in June, with Lochan captioning a photo of them together in the London TV studio: ‘Non-stop laughing when I’m with you.’
He continued, “I still can’t believe we actually met on a show. It doesn’t even feel like it. You make me want to be a better man and you push me to new heights.”
Last year they were the favourites to win the series, but Jess and Sammy took the title, much to the surprise of the audience.
MailOnline has contacted Whitney and Lochan’s representatives for comment.
Lochan recently declared his love for Whitney on Instagram, saying in June: ‘You make me want to be a better person and you push me to new heights’

Whitney congratulated Love Island 2024 winners Mimii and Josh, who this week became the first black couple to win the show
Mimii and Josh made Love Island history by becoming the first black couple to win the series, in a triumphant moment for all previous black female contestants, according to Whitney.
Whitney explains, “It’s a moment that needs to be celebrated. It’s gone down in history, and rightfully so. I just feel like it’s long overdue.”
“There are so many black women on reality TV shows, but they don’t get the recognition they deserve.
‘I think Samira was the first black girl to go to Love Island, but now there’s been Yewande, Kaz, Rachel, Lianne, Indiyah, Catherine, me and so many more of us, but we’ve never gotten flowers.
“So it’s not about Mimii winning, it’s about her representing so many of us who came before her, and also the black girls who look up to her.”
