Chris Hughes and Annabel Dimmock smooch on the beach in Cornwall

Ex Love Island star Chris Hughes and his new girlfriend Annabel Dimmock are enjoying a staycation in Cornwall.

And the pair packed on the PDA as they enjoyed a smooch on the beach while there, before strolling barefoot across the sand.

The couple took in the sights of the beach, which enjoyed some bursts of sunshine and scattered clouds.

The duo carried their shoes as they held hands, heading for a paddle in the surf.

Chris – who found fame a few years ago on the ITV2 dating series – wore a baggy grey T-shirt and green sweatpants, tying a blue hoodie around his waist.

Annabel wore little black shorts, a petrol blue Tee and shades.

She carried a bag over her shoulder and let her chestnut mane fall choppily around her features.

The hunk famously split from Jesy Nelson in April 2020, and revealed months later that life after their break-up was ‘a s**tstorm’.

He added that they decided to call time on their 16-month relationship because they ‘grew apart’.

Chris explained that ‘not everything is meant to last’ but added that he’s happy they’re still good friends in an interview with New magazine in April.

Chris told the publication: ‘It’s just one of those things — people grow apart and things happen.

‘Not everything is meant to last and the world would be very weird if everyone who went out with someone was with them for the rest of their lives.’

He added that he’s happy to still be on good terms with his ex, saying: ‘I’m just grateful and fortunate that Jesy’s still a very good friend of mine.’

Chris also turned his attention to the future, saying that for him it’s important to find the ‘right person’ and that can’t be ‘rushed’.

The hunk also shared some candid details about his past relationship earlier in April, admitting that it was ‘difficult’ when they first broke up.

He told The Sun: ‘It was difficult. Sometimes you just grow apart. There have definitely been days when I wake up and things haven’t felt great.

‘The period 12 months ago was really tough. There were days where I was waking up and our split was the first thing I was thinking about.

‘I had to try my hardest mentally to break the cycle. Life was a s**tstorm.’

Jesy and Chris went public with their romance in January 2019, when they were seen enjoying a steamy date in a kebab shop, after weeks of rumours around the union.

The pair called it quits in April last year, with insiders revealing to MailOnline at the time that Jesy broke up with Chris over the phone in the midst of their separate self-isolation amid the nationwide coronavirus lockdown.
