Joey left the show with Jessy Potts although, their relationship only lasted seven weeks post-villa.

Maura Higgins did more than turn heads during her Love Island journey as she captured the hearts of viewers through her entertaining performance and iconic one liners.

During both appearances, Ekin-Su had many famous lines and moments that go down in history including her iconic terrace crawl.

Adam Collard

Adam Collard entered during series 4 as the first bombshell stealing Kendall-Rae Knight from her couple in the original line-up.
