Love Island winner Sammy Root is set to appear at a Dundee nightclub just days after splitting with partner Jess Harding.
Root, who won the summer edition of the dating show this year alongside Harding, will be at Aura Nightclub on Saturday October 14.
Fans of the show will get the chance to meet and get photos with the 22-year-old.
Root, a project manager from Kent, entered the Love Island villa on day four.
After dates with three women, he coupled up with Harding.
They were voted the winners by the public, scooping the £50,000 prize money in the final.
Sammy Root’s ‘shock’ at news of split with Jess Harding
However, on Tuesday, reports said Root had split with Harding.
Root has since addressed the split on Instagram, saying he had hoped they could reconcile before seeing news of their break-up being made public.
He said: “Yes, we had a private conversation regarding our relationship but this was left up in the air as Jess is still away and we haven’t had a chance to speak in person.
“For me to then see today via the media that we had officially broken up came as a total shock.”
The post, shared on Root’s Instagram stories, added: “We had the most incredible experience winning Love Island and I genuinely saw a future with Jess.
“I was committed and respectful to our relationship.
“Unfortunately, things don’t always work out the way you’d hoped.
“Despite how this has all played out today, I think Jess is an amazing woman and genuinely wish her all the best.”
