Former Love Island star Millie Court has shared a statement on social media urging followers to be kind, following her split with Liam Reardon.
Millie and Liam announced they had parted ways earlier this week, explaining they wished the very best for each other and adding that it had been a tough decision.
But taking to Instagram on Friday (15 July) Millie shared a statement, shutting down any 'cheating' rumours and urging followers to be careful regarding what they post and share.

Millie first thanked her followers for all of their messages of support, explaining that while she couldn't reply to every message, they'd made her smile on a tough day.
"I'd also like to ask you guys to please not believe everything you have read in the press or seen on social media," she continued.
"Last thing I want is people to say nasty things about Liam or put the blame on him, or vice versa, it wouldn't have ended on a good note like it did if anything had happened.

"Going through a break up is hard enough as it is, let alone when people are spreading nasty rumours that are simply not true.
"Please remember we are human beings too, we have feelings and to always, always be kind. You never really know what someone is going through."
The former Islanders confirmed that they have made the decision to end their relationship in statements shared on both of their respective Instagram Stories this week.

Millie described the split as a 'tough decision' but added that 'it's ultimately what is best for us right now'.
Millie went on to thank their fans and said they are both ‘ready for new chapters’.
She wrote: “Thank you to every single one of you for supporting our relationship. Nothing will ever take away from the amazing experience we shared in Love Island and the past year and I wish Liam all the best in everything he does.

“We’re both ready for new chapters and I’m excited for what’s next. Love, Millie.”
The public voted Millie and Liam as the winners of the show in August last year.
Millie and Liam were up against Chloe Burrows and Toby Aromolaran but the couple - who were compared to the titular couple from BBC series Gavin and Stacey - were chosen as the people’s winners.
