Despite this, he chose to stick with Alima resulting in Poppy being dumped - with Remell later sent packing just days after following a public vote. Meanwhile, Ciaran rose to fame on Love Island in 2024, and was coupled up with then-girlfriend Nicole. The couple split just weeks after revealing plans to start a family together.
