Title: Love Island’s Amelia Peters Ends Eight-Month Romance with Ferne McCann’s Ex, Acid Attacker Arthur Collins

Reasoning:

• Prioritizes Amelia Peters’ identity as the active subject ("Love Island’s Amelia Peters").
• Clarifies Arthur Collins’ connection to Ferne McCann and his criminal history ("acid attacker").
• Uses neutral phrasing ("ends eight-month romance") while retaining factual accuracy.
• Omits informal terms like "dumped" for a more polished tone.

Ferne McCann’s ex-boyfriend Arthur Collins, serving a 20-year sentence for a 2017 nightclub acid attack that injured 16 people, has reportedly been dumped by Love Island star Amelia Peters after an eight-month romance. The 32-year-old convict’s relationship with Amelia, 26, ended following family intervention after their romance made headlines.

Amelia, who appeared on Love Island Season 3 in 2017, had been visiting Collins at HMP Buckley Hall in Rochdale. However, after The Sun exposed their relationship, her family urged her to cut ties. A source revealed, “Her family only learned about it through the press and begged her to end things, especially after seeing photos of him injecting steroids in prison.” Friends and family reportedly warned her that Collins is “bad news” and advised her not to “put her life on hold.”

Collins, who shares a daughter with Ferne McCann, was convicted in 2017 while Ferne was pregnant. He later received an additional eight-month sentence in 2018 for using a smuggled phone to contact Ferne from prison. Reports claim Collins again used an illegal phone to communicate with Amelia, sparking concerns about his conduct behind bars.

Amelia hinted at the relationship in a since-deleted Instagram post on Collins’ birthday, sharing roses with the caption: “Happy birthday to the most handsome pain in the a**e. Love you x.” Despite her initial defiance, pressure from loved ones led to the split. A friend stated, “They’ve told Amelia he’s a changed man, but she’s been warned not to trust him.”

Amelia joined Love Island at 18 as a Casa Amor contestant but was eliminated quickly. Her brief fame contrasts sharply with Collins’ notoriety. In 2022, he was engaged to Annie Jane, a former Page 3 model and Babestation presenter, who tattooed his name on her stomach. Their relationship, formed through letters and prison visits, ended before Collins’ latest romance with Amelia.

Collins’ history of controversial relationships and repeated prison violations highlight ongoing concerns about his influence. Amelia’s decision to walk away aligns with efforts to distance herself from his troubled past, though sources fear a potential reconciliation.

Prison authorities have not commented on Collins’ alleged phone use, which carries a two-year penalty if proven. Meanwhile, Amelia has yet to publicly address the split.
