Love Island 2024 will return to TV screens on Monday, 3 June, with a new set of islanders looking for love in Mallorca.

The ITV2 dating show has crowned 1 winning couples since its revival in 2015, with some remembered as household TV names while others quickly faded into obscurity.

Before its runaway success, Love Island started out as a celebrity series for two runs in 2005 and 2006, but who has won since it opened up to regular singles looking for love?

What happened next: Even die-hard Love Island fans will have to search the outer reaches of their memories to unearth details of what happened way back in series one, when contestants really were looking for love rather than a reality TV career.

Sadly, things didn't work out for Jess and Max, who split just six weeks after winning. He went on to date Charlotte Crosby for a while, but they broke up when she was caught kissing ex Gaz Beadle.
