The programme dumped eight single people – four muscle-bulging blokes and four bikini-clad girls - in a sunny destination to help kick-start their love lives.
But the path of true love didn't run smoothly, and the group's romantic liaisons were interrupted throughout the series by their exes.
Marco Alexandra had viewers 'aww-ing' at their TV screens in 2014 thanks to his sweet romance with Frankie Thrope.
He described himself as a "Greek god" at the time, appearing alongside Ashley Cain, Jack Lomax, Liam Lewis Chloe Goodman, Emily Gillard, Farah Sattaur and former Geordie Shore cast member Vicky Pattison.
But Marco and Frankie didn't last, and now the 32-year-old from Sheffield has found everlasting love.
He proposed to stunning beauty salon owner Emma Nichols in January 2023.
Marco shared a stunning snap with Emma at the time, as she proudly flashed her diamond ring. He captioned it: "She said yes!"
Their followers rushed to congratulate them, with one writing: "About time!"
Marco and Emma waited two years to get married, previously revealing they wanted the wedding to take place in Portugal as they hunted for venues.
And the couple looked every bit the picture of love in new photos on Facebook after saying "I do".

Emma stunned in a dazzling white dress which she matched with floor-length veil, while Marco wore a crisp white dinner jacket over black trousers.
Hundreds of fans commented on their photos congratulating the newlyweds.
Since leaving reality TV behind, stylish Marco has been running his own fashion labels and is a property developer.
His most recent posts on social media show him promoting a property in Liverpool, and praising his partner on her beauty business venture.

Love Island All Star flogs her wardrobe on Vinted – with items priced from a tenner
A LOVE Island pocket rocket has got fans in a fashion frenzy after shifting her old wardrobe on Vinted. The bombshell has put some of her pre-worn clothes on the selling site - with items going for a very affordable price. 9 9 9 9 Reality star and influencer Kady McDermott has thrilled followers by putting her clobber up for grabs for as little as a tenner on the second hand platform. She told followers on social media: "Shop my Vinted," along with an array of pictures of dresses, trousers, tops, sportswear, heels, trainers, shoes, occasionwear and ski gear. The former Towie star's for sale collection includes pink MyProtein size 6 leggings for £10 and a size 8 Distressed Denim Mini Dress from H:ours for £55. Amongst other penny-pinching steals, there's a size 8 Metallic Drape Bandeau Mini Dress for £190 from Retrofête and a size 8 Pretty Little Thing Distressed Faux Leather Biker Racer Jacket for £12. There's an XS Six Stories White Trouser Suit going for £60 and a Lavish Alice Rose Pink Dress, which has never been worn and has its original tags, size 6 for £50. The star is giving half the profit from threads sold towards a charity close to her heart, Brain Tumour Research. Kady wrote on the charity website: "Nan was the rock of our family… by the time they confirmed it was a brain tumour, there was nothing anyone could do…" She continued: "She was the best nan ever. My dad wasn't around when I was growing up so it was like I had two mums. "Nan lived close by and used to pick me up from school and make cakes for me and my brother Keenan and sister Kirsty. I remember her feeding us until we could hardly move! She was the perfect cook. "Growing up, I was really close to her and would probably tell Nan more about what was going on in my life than Mum. She was always on my side." Kady McDermott SPLITS from millionaire boyfriend & makes brutal 'you can't change bad morals' swipe She admitted: "Apart from a bit of a family history of migraines, which I suffer from too, everyone is pretty fit and healthy in my family. To be honest, I never thought serious illness could happen to us." Kady's official account splits 50% of the profit donated to The Brain Tumour Research Charity - and is run by her management team. It reads: "No refunds. Always posted within time frame. Happy shopping." This comes after Kady has confirmed she is back together with her millionaire ex boyfriend. The brunette beauty is back together with her on/off boyfriend millionaire Henry Simmons. Kady, 29, previously told fans she had caught Henry Simmons, 25, cheating with 'two women she found leaving his house'. The reality star, who first hinted in December that they were back together, has been spotted with Henry enjoying a luxury holiday in the Maldives. Kady - who originally appeared in the second series of Love Island - made waves in the recent All Stars by having an almighty falling out with fellow contestant Mitch Taylor. The Love Island's season 10 contestants went head to head with Mitch accusing Kady of having a secret boyfriend on the outside. 9 9 9 9 9

Love Island USA fans spot ‘adult toy' in the background of bedroom scene and ask ‘are y'all seeing this?'
LOVE Island USA fans think they've spotted an 'adult toy' in the background of one bedroom scene. Peacock subscribers made double takes after noticing the phallic-looking object on a nightstand in the shared bedroom. 4 4 And it appeared to belong to Olandria, 27, who is coupled up with Taylor, 24. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, viewers shared their suspicions as they watched on in surprise. One asked: "Y'all seeing this?" while another said: "Yo, what's this wild shit I'm staring at?" A third joked: "Somebody please tell me wtf I'm lookin at." But others hinted it could be a pillow or water bottle instead of the X-rated object. Fans were previously left stunned after spotting what they believed was a woman's IUD on the floor of the villa garden. The dating show returned this week, with Ariana Madix on hand to introduce the islanders to their new home. On day three of the show, the new gang of sexy singles got to know each other better with a game of State Your Case – with briefcases revealing the baggage each islander has. As the swimsuit wearing contestants headed onto the garden, eagle-eyed fans caught what appeared to be an IUD laying on the wooden floor. Sharing a screengrab of the moment, they quickly took to social media, with one post on Reddit declaring: "Is that not an IUD? At 40:39. I saw a FB comment about it and I'm dying" Maura Higgins reveals Love Island USA return - just hours after being 'replaced' by new Aftersun host "How did you even clock this😂😂😂😂 y'all are too observant," said one. While another speculated: "That's why they removed the preview for next episode 🤣🤣" "Omg you are wild for finding this, the internet never fails to amaze me 😝❤️," noted a third. "Well i guess we'll know who's it is if a little islander pops out in 9 months," joked a fourth. However, others were quick to note that an IUD – which is typically inserted into woman as a form of birth control – was unlikely. Instead, they noted it was likely part of a flower, which confused fans last year thanks to their stems branching out into a T shape similar to that of an IUD. "No no no it's funnier as an IUD," one responded, while another noted: "Yes it's funnier but rumors are awful." Love Island USA airs nightly on Peacock. 4

Leaving Cert Irish Paper 2 'very manageable' with no surprises at either level
The Leaving Cert Irish Paper 2 will have had students breathing a sigh of relief, according to Irish teacher at Moyle Park College, Dublin, Stephen Doyle. The Studyclix subject expert said that there is "no doubt" the paper would have been well received. Advertisement 'The two reading comprehensions were well chosen - the first text focused on Rory Gallagher and music while the second passage about Sport in Ireland was very relevant and easy to relate to," Mr Doyle said. "Both were very manageable. The grammar threw up no surprises while the 6b questions were a bit more specific than in previous years. "A sigh of relief could be heard as the long awaited Hurlamaboc made an appearance in the prose section. Students were expecting it last year but it didn't appear; thankfully this year it did. Students had an option between Hurlamaboc and Oisín i dTír na nÓg with the questions being very straightforward with no surprises. 'Again students would have been happy with the choice of poems in the poetry section. An Spailpín Fánach and Colscaradh appeared on this year's paper. There were no difficult or tricky questions. Any student who had prepared these poems will be very happy with the questions asked." Advertisement The final section of the paper, Litríocht Breise, offered "good variety and plenty of choice," according to Mr Doyle. "The question on An Trial and A thig Ná Tit orm was straightforward and focused on the case of the main character. While the questions on Gafa and Canary Wharf focused on the relationships between the characters," he said. 'This paper rewarded students who had studied their texts well and could write clearly about what they had learned. Students will be happy with this one.' The "student-friendly" Ordinary Level Paper 2 also had no surprise questions, Mr Doyle added, and it covered the basics well. "The reading comprehensions focused on the Olympics and the Phoenix Park (nature), topics that were accessible and relatable for students. The prose section offered a choice between Dís, Oisín i dTír na nÓg and Hurlamaboc, which was expected and gave students good options," he said. 'The poetry section included Mo Ghrá-sa, An tEarrach Thiar and Colscaradh, with straightforward questions that tested students' understanding of the main themes and content. There were no surprise questions. Overall, this paper provided ordinary level students with plenty of opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge successfully.'
