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.

Lou Teasdale says she dumped Andy Carroll despite claims he ended things
Influencer Lou Teasdale has denied reports that former England striker Andy Carroll broke up with her, claiming instead that she was the one to end the relationship. The split comes just over a year after the pair began dating and a few weeks after reports that they were questioned twice by police in Greece following heated rows during a Mykonos getaway. Carroll, 36, has now unfollowed Teasdale, 41, on social media and removed all photos of her from his Instagram. This comes after previous rumours that Carroll was set to propose to Teasdale. According to a source quoted in The Sun, the ex-Liverpool and Newcastle forward had grown frustrated with Teasdale's 'influencer lifestyle' and constant social media posting. 'He told her it was over this week. He's single now,' the insider said. But it seems like things might not be that simple. A conflicting source told the Daily Mail: 'It was Lou who ended her relationship with Andy, she walked away a few days ago, it was very much her choice to end their romance. 'She isn't interested in pointing the finger or blaming him and hoped to deal with their split in private, before he blocked her on Instagram and deleted their photos together. 'Lou is very upset by how everything has played out and the arguments between them were especially difficult for her to go through. 'However, Andy wants Lou back and flew to Ibiza via private jet on Tuesday just to find her, even though he has no idea where she's staying. 'He will think it's a romantic gesture but for Lou, she's unimpressed and just wants to be away with her family, she's not interested in any of his attempts at a reconciliation. 'All she has done all year is love and support Andy, her feelings haven't gone away, but Lou has to protect herself now and ending the relationship is the only way to move forward.' The couple's relationship had appeared solid as recently as late July, when they were seen together at an Oasis concert. But their Greek holiday weeks earlier told a different story. Witnesses say the first argument erupted at the Nikolus Tavern, where Carroll allegedly appeared drunk and was overheard swearing at Teasdale. Police were called, but allowed him to leave after speaking privately. Later that night, officers were reportedly called again to their hotel amid claims of property damage, with staff alleging a door was broken. According to The Daily Mail, Carroll was taken to the police station for questioning, but he was not arrested, and no further action was taken. Teasdale left the hotel and stayed elsewhere for the night. Both Carroll and Teasdale downplayed the incidents at the time, describing the restaurant row as 'a private disagreement' blown out of proportion and insisting no one was arrested or charged. The incident was confirmed by a hotel employee, who claimed Carroll broke the door. A joint statement from the couple given to The Sun said: 'Whilst having a private dinner in a restaurant on a quiet holiday in Mykonos, we had a heated discussion of the sort that most couples have had on occasion. It quickly became apparent to the police that there was no reason for them to be there. 'We went outside the restaurant with them together as they insisted they wanted to 'look after' us. 'As far as we are concerned, the situation has been blown out of all proportion by an interested member of the public. No one was arrested and no one was charged with anything. We are very happy, in love and looking forward to our future together and we are disappointed that a private disagreement has become a public matter.' Carroll's return to the UK last month with National League side Dagenham & Redbridge marks the end of a two-year stint in France. Friends say he now wants to focus on football and his five children, three of whom he shares with ex-wife Billi Mucklow. Carroll confirmed his separation from Towie star Mucklow last September. After nearly 10 years together, Carroll and Mucklow tied the knot in 2022, but the former couple split last year after a turbulent marriage, which had already survived a near-scandal in 2022 when Carroll was photographed asleep next to two women during his stag party. More Trending On the day that the news of Carroll's separation from Teasdale broke, Mucklow took to social media to show she was all smiles in a brown bikini while on holiday with her family. A source told Metro in April that rumours of Carroll's possible engagement to Teasdale were not surprising to Mucklow: 'Billi isn't surprised that Andy is rushing down the aisle again. Her marriage to him didn't last very long and he moved on so quickly with Lou that nothing he does is surprising to her anymore. 'Her main focus will always be the children and moving on with her own life.'

Here's where you've seen Vinny's attacker Mike in Emmerdale before
Emmerdale aired some incredibly dark scenes this week, as Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) found himself ensnared in a vicious extortion plot at the hands of 'Mike', an online-turned-real life confidant he met while in the midst of a deep confusion surrounding his sexuality. Vinny has been off-kilter since his attempt to kiss his friend, Kammy Hadiq (Shebz Miah), and, although Kammy offered his non-judgemental support, Vinny has mostly kept his confusion internal while his wedding to Gabby Thomas (Rosie Bentham) rapidly approaches. His attempts to open up to Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller) went slightly awry. Aaron's admittance to kissing his ex Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) prior to exchanging vows with current husband John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) encouraged Vinny to divulge his own indiscretion – though failed to mention who the person (and their gender) he tried to kiss was. When Aaron advised Vinny to keep the attempted kiss a secret, Vinny headed online to seek answers and found an LGBTQIA+ forum…and Mike. After a meeting in the countryside, in which Vinny felt comfortable and safe to open up in the presence of a person supposedly experiencing the same issues as himself, Mike later appeared at Vinny's home, when things took an incredibly dark turn. As Mike slipped from kind and comforting to increasingly sinister, he eventually revealed that his intentions were far from altruistic and everything he'd told Vinny was a lie. Poor Vinny was then subject to a vicious beating. Mike made Vinny transfer £10,000 to him and stole the wedding rings for his upcoming nuptials to Gabby. Amidst the sympathy they felt for poor Vinny, fans also realised they'd seen 'Mike' before… Taking to a Facebook fan page for Emmerdale, one person commented: 'anyone else remember that Mike from Corrie? Harvey got him to attack David.' Another fan added: 'I thought I recognised him!'. More Trending Macaulay Cooper, who played the twisted extortionist, also had a turn in Coronation Street as Reggie, a thug employed by Weatherfield underworld boss, Harvey Gaskall (Will Mellor). Macaulay now has a trifecta of soap villains under his belt, having previously played drug dealer Rob, who's selling of dodgy pills under the direction of resident gangster of the Chester village, Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas), resulted in the deaths of Lizzie Chen-Williams (Lily Best) and Hunter McQueen (Theo Graham).
