It’s nearly that time! We’re getting our sunglasses (and everything else) ready for the much-anticipated 10th season of Love Island.
The gorgeous folks that will make up this year’s lineup have finally been unveiled, and we even have a start date – in other words, things are heating up.
But, before we speculate on who will be the star pair in this year’s villa (it’s far too early to speculate on the winner), let’s travel back in time. What have the series 9 winner pair been doing to since their time on Love Island in the winter?

Who won Love Island series 9?
Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan won the winter season of Love Island not long ago. To the pleasure of spectators, the duo strolled out into the sunset £50,000 wealthier.
‘For me, it was always Kai, like I always said he was my number one,’ she said of the teacher. ‘Obviously, he is a very attractive guy but I fell in love with everything. Everything about him, I just, I just loved it. I really didn’t think I was gonna be here. I’m going to cry!’ Sanam said just before the happy couple was crowned.
But their collaboration was not always on the cards. The couple met when the original villa girls were away at Casa Amor, with Kai quickly developing feelings for newcomer Sanam.
Kai had previously been dating Olivia Hawkins, but rising sensation Sanam was the one for him.Olivia stated that she was ‘glad’ for her ex and Sanam after their triumph.
Shaq and Tanya finished fourth, Tom and Samie third, and Ron and Lana finished runners-up, almost missing out on the £50,000 prize.
What have Kai and Sanam done since winning the show?
First, they are still together with the couple regularly posting loved-up snaps online and attending many-a-glamourous red carpet events together, including the Pride of Britain Awards.

In fact, things are going so well that they’re forced to reject engagement speculations after Kai staged a proposal. He confessed that he would want to propose to Sanam on one knee one day.
Sanam, a former social worker, has stated that while she enjoyed her profession, she is unsure about her future in the sector in light of her sudden celebrity.
Kai, a former Science and PE teacher, has joined a new management team and hopes to work with Sanam to make a difference.
The pair has publicly said that they intend to use their platform to assist and encourage people as they transition to life outside of the villa.
