Sam Gowland has revealed he doesn’t “give a f**k” if people assume his relationship with Geordie Shore's Chloe Ferry is purely for PR purposes.

The former Love Island lad fell head over heels for the Chloe while the cameras for Geordie Series 16 were rolling, which has caused some cynics to argue that their romance might be scripted. Boo.

While most of us would be itching to take to social-media to set the record straight, Sam has risen above the criticism and pointed out that certain people out there will “always have their opinions.”

In an interview with Heat Magazine, he reasoned: “People will always have their opinions, but I suppose that’s what keeps the show going. As long as me and Chloe know what’s going on, I don’t give a f**k what people think.

Proving that dreams sometimes ~do~come true, Sam admittedthat he’d always fancied Chloe from afar and pointed out that her personality isjust as attractive as the rest of her is.

“I’d always thought she was fit. Once I got in the house, we got talking and clicked. We realised we got on really, really well. And she was much fitter in person,” he added.

As for which reality TV show Sam feels most at home on, Sam replied: “Geordie Shore is more my scene. You go out more and get drunk. Love Island was more about chilling.”

Judging by Sam and Chloe's loved-up antics in Bali, they literally couldn't care less about whether people are emotionally invested in their relationship or not. Good for them.
