Love Island’s Anton too busy for relationship
IAN BUNTING
Airdrie Love Island hunk Anton Danyluk has split with Belle Hassan just five weeks after the ITV2 series finished – because he is too busy for a relationship.
The gym owner, who has been celebrating his 24th birthday in Ibiza, said work commitments mean he can’t give Belle the attention she deserves.
The beautician alerted fans to the split by posting a cryptic message on Instagram.
A source close to Anton said: “Their parting was mutually agreed. They will remain friends and Anton wishes Belle all the best.
“They were never in an official relationship, they were only dating.
“Anton has always been a gentleman and was upfront with everyone that he didn’t want to jump into a relationship.
“Anton is one of the most indemand Love Island contestants this year.
“He has 50 personal appearances coming up around the UK and a massive announcement which will be made next week and didn’t think it was fair that he couldn’t give a relationship with Belle the attention or energy it deserved.
“His friends surprised him with a two-day trip to Ibiza for his birthday and this will be the only break he will have between now and Christmas as he has so much work lined up.
“He continues to be based in Scotland and, in the long term, juggling his work commitments and being so far away from Belle would not have worked.”
Anton was the unlucky-in-love contestant in this year’s series, having tried his luck with MollyMae Hague, Anna Vakili and Lucy Donlan in the first couple of weeks.
They all rejected the Scot – whose mum Sherie Ann happily admitted to shaving his bum whenever he asked for it.
But Anton’s luck changed in week four when Belle walked in as part of the Casa Amor shake-up; Belle and Anton ended up finishing in fifth place on the reality show.
Meanwhile, Anton is set to star in a Love Island special of Supermarket Sweep, with the resurrected 90s show now hosted by Rylan Clark-Neal.
