Last year Millie Court and Liam Reardon won the £50,000 prize after finding each other on the ITV2 dating show set in Mallorca which sees singles 'coupled-up' while living together in a villa away from the outside world. Over the durion of the series the contestants, referred to as Islanders, can choose to remain in their current couple or swap partners.
Islanders are placed in the line of temptation from a batch of new Love Island arrivals in the neighbouring villa Casa Amor. Any Islander who remains single after a re-coupling by the firepit is eliminated and dumped from the island.
Millie and Liam came out top with 42 per-cent of the vote last summer, with runners-up Chloe Burrows and Toby Aromolaran securing 31 per-cent. Faye Winter and Teddy Soares, who came third, had 15 per-cent and Kaz Kamwi and Tyler Cruickshank landed 12 per-cent.
The couple still hadn't officially declared themselves 'official' despite being coupled-up for weeks in Mallorca but Liam took the opportunity to ask Millie to officially be his girlfriend as they spoke to host Laura Whitmore. Almost three million viewers tuned in to watch the final.
The show, originally hosted by the late Caroline Flack, launched in 2015. Season two’s Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen became the first Love Island couple to get married in 2018 and they are expecting their first baby. In March Dom Lever and Jessica Shears, who found love on the reality show in 2017, revealed they're expecting their second child.
The loved-up couple got married in May 2018 and they announced that they'd welcomed their first child in October 2019. Cara Delahoyde and Nathan Massey, who met in the second series in 2016, were the third Love Island couple to marry in 2019 and they have two children, 20-month old daughter Delilah and four-year-old son Freddie.
Last September Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt tied the knot, four years after meeting on the show. They have a daughter Nell, born in October 2020, and are expecting their second child.
