‘My split from Dan was heartbreaking – but I feel like Jess is back!'

Rumours were flying back in May that Jess Hayes had split from her fiancé Dan Lawry, just six months after they tragically lost their unborn baby boy, Teddy.

And in her first shoot and interview since the reports, Jess, who has a two-year-old son, Presley, with Dan, exclusively confirmed to new that she is now single and Dan has moved out following a series of rows.

“Things just don’t work out as planned. To lose a baby and the person you thought you were going to have more children with and get married to, it’s been a bit of a shock,” the 28-year-old tells us.

But although she admits their sudden split has been “heartbreaking,” Jess is remaining positive. She has even returned to her signature red tresses, which she tells us signifies a new start for her.

“I’m obsessed with the new hair. I literally feel like I’m back!” she says.

As well as looking to the future, Jess opens up to us about her late son Teddy, and she gets teary when she reveals how Presley remembers him.

“I say to him, ‘Where’s Teddy?’ and he points up to the sky and his bottom lip goes out. He looks really sad and it breaks my heart,” she explains.

In our emotional interview, Jess talks about coping with the end of her engagement, not ruling out a reconciliation, and how she feels Love Island has changed since she won the first series in 2015...

Hi, Jess. How are you feeling following the split?
