Toni had her head turned by Harrison but he then dumped her for Casa Amor's Lauren before quitting the show.
Toni then rekindled her romance with Cach before going on to win the series and scooping a prize fund of £50k.
The pair have been attached at the hip since leaving the villa but Toni has now revealed that she's leaving the UK very soon.
She admitted that her Visa has come to an end and she'll be heading home to Los Vegas.

A fan asked during a Q&A if she will be staying in the UK, to which Toni replied: "They're not letting me. I'll be in Las Vegas for a week, I don't want to be there at all."
She then turned to Cach and affectionately said: "I'm going to miss this."
They were joined by co-star Jamie Rhodes, who asked if Cach had been to Vegas yet.
Cach replied: "Toni hasn't left my side since coming out of the villa," as the US star echoed: "Cach hasn't left my side since we've left the villa."

But fans fear the couple won't last the distance as they prepare to be separated.

SPLASHING OUT
Ahead of their show victory, Toni and Cach spoke to former Islanders and Aftersun hosts Indiyah Polack and Amy Hart.
When asked what they'd spend the £50k on, Cash replied: 'I've already got what I want, money's just a bonus.'
And Toni shared exciting holiday plans, adding: 'I'll take my mum on vacation, as well. After ours, of course…'

After weeks of coupling up, dumpings, texts and triangles, the series came to a close with a battle between Toni & Cach, Shakira Khan & Harry Cooksley, Angel Swift & Ty Isherwood and Yasmin Pettet & Jamie Rhodes.
However, it was the show's first American bombshell Toni and dancer Cach who got the most votes from fans after their rollercoaster journey on the show.
Thrilled fans praised the result, with one saying: "I actually feel like I've won the World Cup. This is actually everything to me!"
Just a few weeks ago, Toni split from Cach to rekindle with her old flame Harrison - not knowing he had been intimate with Casa Amor's Lauren.
After just one day, he U-turned yet again - and ended up leaving the villa when Lauren was voted out.

Despite Cach breaking down in tears over the embarrassment of his public split from Toni, he forgave her.
They started up their relationship once again and on their final night in the villa said "I love you".
Before his arrival in the villa, Cach appeared on Are You The One? UK, which aired back in 2022 on MTV.
He was 20 years old at the time and competed under his full name, Cacharel.

USA star Ilona Maher mulling move to WWE after Rugby World Cup
USA rugby player Ilona Maher is contemplating an offer to participate in WWE wrestling as a stepping stone to Hollywood after the Women's Rugby World Cup that kicks off on Friday in England. "I've been approached before by the WWE," she told the BBC, joking that her ring name would be 'Maher-vellous'. "I should think about it, there is great money in it." Maher is the world's most followed rugby player with nearly nine million followers across Instagram and TikTok. She was also a contestant on 'Dancing with the Stars', posed for Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue and was named best breakthrough athlete at this year's Espys, ESPN's annual award show. "I would love to get into the acting space and the scripted space. I think a Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson, John Cena progression - I would love to do that," Maher said. "It would be exciting to see my body type on the screen. I'll start off small, probably like a hot assassin or something, let's not get too crazy. I'm not going to be in a rom-com just yet. "We'll see. The world is open, but I do see myself coming back to rugby."

Watch as I'm A Celeb star is left horrified as family member gets easy popstar question wrong – do you know the answer?
AN I'm A Celebrity star was left mortified when her own cousin got an easy popstar question wrong on Family Face Off. Social media influencer Nella Rose was left beside herself when it became apparent that her cousin did not know the answer to an 'easy' question on the new Channel 4 digital series. 5 Nella Rose was left fuming when she realised her cousin did not know the answer to an easy question Credit: Channel 4.0 5 Nella could not believe that she knew the answer but her cousin did not Credit: Channel 4.0 5 Afo was asked which popstar had been sent to Space Credit: Channel 4.0 Family Face Off is a modern take on All Star Family Fortunes and is hosted by comedian and online personality, Darkest Man. During the first episode, Love Island star and The Morning After host Indiyah Polack took on I'm A Celeb star and YouTuber Nella Rose and her family in order to be crowned the top celebrity family. But things quickly go awry as Nella is left dumbfounded by her cousin being unable to answer a very easy question. In The Sun's exclusive first-look clip at the digital series, Darkest Man tells Nella that the next question will be based on the topic of Science. Looking at her family playing alongside her, she chooses her cousin Afo to take on the all-important question to bag a point for their team. However, it quickly falls apart when it emerges that he is the only one of their team to not know the answer to the question. Afo is asked: "Jeff Bezos sent an all-female crew into space, including which popstar?" As soon as she heard the question, Nella can be heard making noises as she walked around the set with her hands in the air as it became apparent that she knew the answer - but Afo did not. She can soon be heard jokingly exclaiming at the camera: "Turn that s*** off!" Clearly unaware of the answer, Afo tells the host: "Lady Gaga." I'm A Celeb's Nella Rose returns to YouTube for first time in three years and slams show for 'editing her like a troublemaker' Darkest Man soon clarifies that the answer is in fact Katy Perry as Nella and her fellow teammates all confirm that they would have been able to correctly guess the answer. Would you have been able to correctly identify the answer? Despite this, Nella and her family still lead the competition as they held a total of 5 points to Indiyah's total of three points. Throughout the series, other stars including Chloe Burrows, Angry Ginge and Krept & Konan are all expected to appear.

Real reason Junior Andre stayed silent during parents' ‘embarrassing' row & why ‘sad' mum Katie will never get him back
Junior has been carrying the 'negativity and sadness' of his parents' feud for years and his mission to 'disassociate' from it all is getting harder than ever, pals claim FAMILY RIFT Real reason Junior Andre stayed silent during parents' 'embarrassing' row & why 'sad' mum Katie will never get him back FROM their sultry connection in the jungle to bitter legal feuds, Katie Price and Peter Andre's fiery war of words has spanned 16 years. And, as their recent explosive row has proved, it shows no signs of ending soon - but one person who has so far remained silent is their 20-year-old son Junior Andre. 13 Junior Andre, pictured with mum Katie Price, has so far remained tight-lipped during his parents' latest feud Credit: The Mega Agency 13 According to a source, Junior is on dad Peter Andre's side '100 per cent' Credit: Getty 13 An insider said Junior tries to 'disassociate himself as much as he can' from his mum Credit: Getty While his 18-year-old sister Princess is currently taking centre stage with her ITV documentary, The Princess Diaries, Junior prefers to keep out of all drama. According to a source, when it comes to his feuding parents, the aspiring singer is firmly on dad Peter's side, and is 'embarrassed' by former glamour model Katie. A source told Fabulous: 'Junior is on his dad's side 100 per cent. 'He has no time for his mum as harsh as that sounds. 'She represents negativity and sadness in his life and he has been trying to move away from that and heal for a long time. 'He hates how his mum is a laughing stock and tries to disassociate himself as much as he can without starting World War 3.' Junior's Instagram page, where he boasts 555,000 followers, rarely features his reality star mum. The glamour model, 47, who is currently dating Married at First Sight's JJ Slater, 32, hardly features in any of his posts, unlike his dad, 52, and Princess, whom he regularly posts pics and videos with. The insider added: 'He posts a happy birthday message to her to keep up appearances and to not ruin her day but they don't hang out much at all. 'As far as Junior is concerned, he's his dad's son. Emotional Peter Andre reveals strict rule for Princess and Junior 'His dad has brought him up and raised him to be the man he is today - he knows he wouldn't be anywhere today without his dad's love and support.' Junior moved out of Katie's infamous 'Mucky Mansion' ten years ago to live full-time with Peter and stepmum and NHS doctor Emily MacDonagh, 36, in their Surrey mansion. The pair also have their own three kids, Amelia, 11, Theo, eight, and one year-old Arabella, who they typically keep out of the spotlight. 13 Junior moved in with Pete and Emily full-time over a decade ago Credit: Getty 13 The 20-year-old is said to have found mum Katie's Mucky Mansion 'horrific' 13 Junior does birthday posts for his mum, but rarely features her on his Instagram Credit: officialjunior_andre/Instagram 13 Peter claimed in a bombshell statement that Princess and Junior were placed in his care 'for their safety' Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Emily, who has been married to Peter for ten years, features heavily in Princess' new show - while Katie was allegedly banned from filming by bosses for being 'too trashy'. And insiders say that Emily has been 'more of a conventional mum' to Junior over the years. They added: 'Junior wasn't lacking anything and so he had no need to see Katie.' Junior is said to have made the decision to avoid the notorious nine-bedroom Sussex pad - which has now been sold - as it was 'so horrific.' BOMBSHELL STATEMENT The source claimed: 'Junior hasn't had much to do with his mum in recent years. 'He totally avoided visiting her at the Mucky Mansion. He didn't want to live in squalor. 'It was constantly chaotic and the house was always full of people and this revolving door of men - and Katie's dramas.' After he left, they say Junior rarely went back to visit Katie and as she wasn't welcome at Pete's house 'they didn't see each other much' and now "he rarely visits her', despite her moving out of the squalid home. Junior was later joined by sister Princess, and it has been revealed the family courts issued a legally binding order for the living arrangement in 2019. Mysterious Girl singer Peter claimed in a bombshell statement that the pair were placed in his care "for their safety". 13 Insiders say that Emily has been 'more of a conventional mum' to Junior over the years Credit: Splash The outburst came after Katie claimed Peter and his management wouldn't allow her to do any publicity with Princess. 'Unfortunately, the management team and Pete won't allow me to be near her,' she ranted earlier this month. 'They have made it clear, they won't allow Princess to do photoshoots with me, they won't allow me to go to any events with Princess – because they think I am trash basically.' Peter then hit back at Katie's claims, slamming her in a furious Instagram statement. Peter wrote: "For sixteen years I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silence has been incredibly frustrating." He continued: "That ends today." 13 Mysterious Girl singer Peter wed Katie in 2005 before splitting four years later Credit: Getty This outburst is said to be out of character for Peter, who allegedly 'never bad mouths Katie in front of the children'. However, Junior, who the source claims is an 'exceptionally bright young man', has 'seen it all and come to his own conclusions'. The insider claimed that Junior was 'shocked' that Peter spoke out but 'doesn't blame him'. However, they added: 'He's really sad to see his mum and dad's feud playing out in public again. 'Obviously he's read a lot about it over the years - he's old enough to read Google.' PRIVATE LIFE While Katie famously courts the spotlight, and his sister is doing her new documentary, the 20-year-old is said to prefer a 'quiet life at home with his girlfriend'. Junior has been dating his girlfriend Jasmine Orr, 24, since last April, with their relationship going from strength-to-strength. 13 Junior has moved out and is now living with girlfriend Jasmine Orr Credit: Getty The couple have now opened up about a huge step they have taken together, while talking about the possibility of getting wed. Revealing their huge milestone to OK! Magazine in a new interview, Junior explained how he and Jasmine, who previously appeared on Celebs Go Dating in 2023, now have a place of their own. "Yes, we've moved into our own little flat together," he told the magazine. He then detailed their one-bedroom abode in Surrey, and spoke about how they are currently decorating it. Junior then gushed about wanting to spend "every day" with his girlfriend and said that they felt "ready" for the next step. 13 The couple have spoken about getting married Credit: Splash Growing up, Junior is said to have 'hated' being featured in Katie's photoshoots and TV shows. The insider added: 'He was just a young boy finding his way in life and wanted to focus on his hobbies and friends. 'He grew up embarrassed of his mum and it's hard to shake that.' Pete paid for Princess and Junior to have a private school so they have had the very best education and they are incredibly bright. The youngsters have capitalised on that schooling, with Junior releasing a No1 single and Princess signing a huge beauty deal and launching her own brand. The source added: 'Junior has protected his energy and spirit and Pete is very proud - and relieved - that he hasn't turned out to be anything like his mum.' 13 Junior is said to have 'hated' being featured in Katie's photoshoots and TV shows Credit: Getty 13 He is said to prefer a quiet life in his home with partner Jasmine Credit: ITV MOVING ON In recent months he had been impressed by Katie making changes and was looking after herself. However, the recent feud has left Junior with a 'bad taste in his mouth', according to the source. They claimed: 'Now, he feels more sorry for her. 'He's sad about it all. 'He wants to get on with his life and explore his own path, but he feels like his mum is constantly in the background casting negativity over everything. 'He thinks she just needs to get over it [not being with his dad] and move on now so everyone can get on with their lives in peace.'
