Love Island star Ron’s ex takes savage swipe at him after he’s accused of dumping her for All Stars return
LOVE Island star Ron Hall's ex-girlfriend Lydia Karakyriakou has taken a savage swipe at her former flame.
The couple's split came shortly before Ron entered the All Stars villa as a bombshell - with some fans claiming they broke up so he could go on the spin-off show.
The pair - who starred on Love Island in 2023 - thrilled fans when they finally announced in November that they were an item following months of going on secret dates.
They were congratulated by a flood of co-stars beneath a sweet 'launch' photo taken on holiday in Las Vegas.
Following news of their split that photo has since been deleted, and Lydia was seen posting about being single on TikTok.
Last night, her former boyfriend was seen making his big entrance on Love Island All Stars, and she couldn't help taking a cheeky swipe.

It came when she shared a picture of herself dancing at a club and looking sexy.
She then poked fun at Ron for splitting up with her because they lived too far apart - as she hails from Scotland while he is an Essex native.
Writing across the snap, Lydia quipped: "When he said the distance was gonna be too long, but she didn't realise he meant South Africa [followed by laughing emojis]."
Their split came shortly before the new series of Love Island All Stars kicked off.
Ron has returned to the villa for another chance at love, after originally falling for Lana Jenkins back in 2023.
The former couple, who also met on the winter series of the show, called it quits just three months after their TV debut.
Ron revealed that the break-up took a toll on him and said he struggled to bounce back.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, he said: "I will never do a dating show again, I will never have a relationship in the public eye again because I think it ruins it.
"It played a part in mine and Lana's relationship.
"I think relationship programmes are quite forced and it doesn't happen naturally, it's great and it works.
"It worked for me because I didn't expect to fall in love. But I think sometimes it can play with people's feelings too much."
Ron said that he is still good friends with Lana despite their public split and still cheers her on from a distance.

Meanwhile, Lana broke her silence on her ex going back in the villa with a picture on Instagram.
Looking slightly awkward and taken aback all at once, Lana looked to the side, rested her hand on her head and penned: "Stop it right now," alongside the snap.
