Love Island was recently on screen with its All Stars edition in January and February, with Molly Smith and Tom Clare being crowned winners after coming out on top in the public vote.

Molly, who had recently split up with Callum Jones before coupling up with Tom recently spoke about her new relationship, telling the Daily Mail: “I'm on cloud nine, I can't lie. I didn't go on the show believing I would leave with someone, I had no expectations, coming out with Tom.

“He's everything I had been looking for. You know sometimes when you think, 'Is this too good to be true?' I don't like jinxing things but right now I can't fault our relationship.”

Love Island airs on ITV2 and streams on ITVX.
