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.

Last month, The Sun revealed Celebrity Big Brother star Donna Preston had been snapped up as a late signing. She said: 'I'm buzzing to be joining the show and to finally crack the code on what men really want, besides snacks and not being asked what they're thinking. 'I'm intrigued to meet new people, but let's be honest, if a date's boring, I won't waste anyone's time. "Life's too short to sit through tales of someone's coin collection, I'll be gone before the starter arrives.' 4 Jon revealed his Celebs Go Dating involvement earlier this year Credit: Nic Serpell-Rand / Channel 4

Disney to pay £323.6m to take full control of streaming service Hulu
Disney will pay Comcast's NBCUniversal nearly 439 million dollars (£323.6 million) for its stake in Hulu, taking full control of the streaming service. The move closes out an appraisal process that has dragged on for a few years. Advertisement Disney said in November 2023 that it was acquiring a 33% stake in Hulu from Comcast for at least 8.6 billion (£6.34 billion). That amount reflected Hulu's guaranteed floor value of 27.5 billion dollars (£20.2 billion), according to a regulatory filing. Disney has run Hulu since 2019, when Comcast ceded its authority to Disney and effectively became a silent partner. Hulu began in 2007 and quickly evolved into as a service backed by entertainment conglomerates who hoped to stave off the internet with an online platform for their own TV shows. Advertisement Disney joined in 2009, planning to offer shows from ABC, ESPN and the Disney Channel. A decade later, Disney gained majority control of the business when it acquired 21st Century Fox. The entertainment giant said on Monday that its appraiser arrived at a valuation below the guaranteed floor value during the initial phase of the appraisal process, while NBCUniversal's appraiser arrived at a valuation substantially in excess of the guaranteed floor value. A third appraiser was brought in and concluded that The Walt Disney Co will pay 438.7 million dollars (£323.6 million) for the Hulu stake. 'We are pleased this is finally resolved. We have had a productive partnership with NBCUniversal, and we wish them the best of luck,' Disney chief executive Bob Iger said in a statement. Advertisement 'Completing the Hulu acquisition paves the way for a deeper and more seamless integration of Hulu's general entertainment content with Disney+ and, soon, with ESPN's direct-to-consumer product, providing an unrivalled value proposition for consumers.' The transaction is anticipated to close by July 24. It is not expected to impact Disney's fiscal 2025 adjusted earnings forecast. Shares in Disney rose slightly in morning trading on Tuesday.
