The Scottish stars of Love Island and what they're up to today

There have been some stand-out Scottish stars on popular ITV series Love Island that are from this bonny wee land of ours - with one even making it all the way to the winning place with her couple.

Some Love Island contestants stints in the show have been more successful than others, but have since flourished from their series and seen major pay-days.

Some have not been so lucky, but still get up to their old tricks on social media sites such as Instagram and Twitter.
