"I think Tahnee has some great qualities and I have so much respect for her and I still have love for Tahnee but at our core we are just really, really different," he said.
"Different not just in likes and hobbies, it's not just in values, it's not just in how we navigate our issues but our wants, our beliefs. As we spent more time together and dug deeper we realised that and that's OK."
The reality star went on to explain that the couple "couldn't get enough of each other" during the experiment, but encountered problems when they moved into their own place. "Honestly I think we fell out of love. I think that there's a multitude of factors that contributed to that," he added.

Ollie recently (December 13) shared a statement on his Instagram account confirming the two's separation.
"Hello, Tahnee and I have split up. It's sad, but it's okay. What a ride! A journey filled with love, laughter, challenges, and in the last month, reflection. I think we tried really hard to make it work," the post began.
"I kinda have this pipe dream of us being like Jerry and Elaine from Seinfeld post-breakup, a very hard thing to do obviously, but the sentiment at its core is that I plan to try to be someone who champions Tahnee and can be there for her as a friend."
