The 'Love Island' winners are said to be in a battle over who gets to keep their adorable bulldog Sandy, following their split, and, for the time being at least, it appears the sweet pup has been taken in by the former salesman.

Sharing a picture of Sandy chilling on his sofa with her tongue hanging out on his Instagram Story on Friday night, Jack wrote: "Tongue out soundo (sic)"

The post also marks the first time the hunk has shared anything on social media since they announced they had called time on their relationship after just sixth months together.

A source told The Sun Online of their custody battle: "Jack adores Sandy and thinks he should be the one to get full time custody of her. Dani is an absolute softie though and while Jack does spend more time with the dog, she adores Sandy. They've had a couple of tense chats about her and now it's at a bit of a stalemate. Hopefully they'll be able to work something out so they can both still see her, but it's more than likely the dog will end up with Jack. Unless Dani really kicks up a stink."

The pair bought the mutt in October and jokingly even called her their first "baby" when they took her home to their plush London flat.

However, their love has not lasted and Dani - whose dad is 'EastEnders' actor Danny Dyer - broke the news to her fans in an Instagram post that she and Jack are no longer item.

Dani wrote: "Jack and I have sadly decided to part ways. It's been an incredible six months, and we will always have a place in our hearts for each other, but we've sadly come to the realisation that it's not meant to be long term. We both plan to stay friends. I hope you'll all understand. Love Dani x."
