Jake Cornish has hinted that he and Liberty Poole could rekindle their romance.

The pair recently split and decided to leave the 'Love Island' villa before the final but Jake, 24, admitted he hasn't ruled out getting back together with the blonde marketing student.
He told The Sunday Mirror newspaper: "Will it go strong again on the outside? Who knows? Definitely we’ll keep in contact."
Jake also defended his behaviour on the show, insisting he was not trying to change Liberty, 22, when he made disparaging comments about her.
He said: "It’s not a nice feeling to think that things I’ve said is coming across that I’m trying to make someone change. I’m not. Liberty is Lib. That’s the girl I fell in love with. I’m not trying to change her."
And Jake believes he and Liberty made the right decision to leave, rather than take a place in the final from one of the other couples.
He said: “I’ve just got to be true to myself – if I was trying to have a game plan, I think I’d still be there, I wouldn’t have left.
“It was time for myself and Liberty to basically step aside from all the couples that are moving forward. It was kind of sucking the energy out of them.
“I don’t want another couple to get voted out and me and Lib are still in there. I’d feel awful that they’ve gone when they are a couple and a real couple who are together, and me and Lib aren’t anything no more. It wouldn’t be fair.”
