Paige Turley - Winter Love Island winner 2020

West Lothian beauty Paige was crowned winner of Love Island 2020 in it's first Winter edition alongside boyfriend Finley Tapp, and are still together till this day.

The 23-year-old has had a successful career since leaving the Love Island villa and works with brands such as Superdrug, Boux Avenue, Pandora and McDonald's.

Recently, the star raised concerns with fans as Edinburgh Live reported that Paige was absent from social media for a few weeks, and then reappearing in a hospital gown.

She reassured fans that it was only "minor surgery", and she was on the mend.

The beauty is also a talented singer, and spends a lot of time in the studio making music for her 1.7 Instagram followers to critique.

Laura Anderson - Second Place

The 32-year-old appeared on the fourth season of the show, and was coupled up with three different boys on the show - Wes Nelson, Jack Fowler and then Paul Knops.

She made it to the runners up spot on the show, behind Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham, who have split since the show ended.

Laura and Paul's romance was also short lived and they parted ways shortly after leaving the villa.

Anton Danyluk from Airdrie appeared in season five of the show, and is fondly remembered for having his backside shaved by his mum.

The 26-year-old was coupled up with makeup artist Belle Hassan, before being dumped from the Island just one day before the final.

The couple dated for a short time after leaving the villa before calling it quits on their relationship.

After leaving the villa Anton landed a huge job with the United Nations, and was given the role of World Merit Ambassador.

He was also famed for giving his number to a supermarket worker on the ITV show, sparking drama between eventual runners-up Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury.

The boys were tasked with preparing a tasty meal for the girls - so, naturally, they head out to pick up some tasty ingredients.

Anton heads to the checkout to settle the bill, and can’t resist a little flirt with the shopkeeper.

The reality star jokingly writes his number on the back of the receipt and passes it to her as they leave.

This was talk of the town as the show aired in 2019, and landed Anton with the title of 'player' in the villa.

Shannon Singh - Dumped on Day One

Shannon Singh, hailing from Glenrothes, was eliminated just ONE day into her stint on the show last season, in a shock single dumping from the island.

She went on to accuse producers of humiliating her by axing her so quickly - but it hasn't stopped the Scottish stunner from landing big money in terms of modelling.

Shannon has went on to sign a five-figure deal with high-end lingerie company Boux Avenue, and was also on adult platform OnlyFans - but has since deleted her account.

The star is now back with her DJ ex Ben Sterling, and claims she is "happier than ever" in the relationship.

Biggs Chris - Dumped on Day 26

Biggs Chris from Glasgow entered the Love Island Casa Amor villa during last year's winter edition of Love Island.

After failing to couple up with anyone, the car body repair specialist was dumped from the Island only three days into his stay.

He, however, coupled up with fellow Love Island star Rebecca Gormley just after his exit from the show - but they have since split up after buying a house in Airdrie together.

Biggs has since been showing his followers on Instagram of the progress he has made on the property since then.

He has renovated everything himself from the kitchen and bathrooms to living room and garden.

Handyman, anybody?

Wallace Wilson - Dumped on Day 22

Wallace Wilson is a personal trainer from Inverness and appeared on the sixth season of Love Island in South Africa.

The 25-year-old opted to couple up with Rebecca Gormley but three days later, the islanders had to vote off one person from each of the 'least compatible couples' - so Wallace was axed immediately.

Since then, the personal trainer has returned to his original job and often posts progress videos on his social media to a whopping 146K followers.

Jamie Clayton - Dumped on Day 38

Jamie Clayton had worked as a recruitment consultant before he entered the South African villa in February 2020.

He joined the Islanders later on in the series, and chose to couple up with student Natalia.

Just one week later, however, the pair were voted off after receiving the least amount of public votes.

The star is now a relatively successful influencer, and often posts paid advertisements onto social media, to his 100K Instagram followers.

Jamie McCann - Dumped on Day 26

Eyelash technician Jamie appeared in the Love Island winter edition, during the Casa Amor segment, in a bid to steal a taken man from the original villa.

However, just three days into her stay, none of the boys seemed interested and she was dumped from Casa Amor on Day 26.

Jamie began a YouTube channel after her exit to discuss her experience in the villa, but that failed to take off, and she hasn't posted on the account in over a year.

She spends her days flaunting her figure on Instagram to her 30,000 followers, and is often pictured on holiday with mates.

Love Island returns to ITV2 on Monday, June 6 at 8pm - get the cocktail shaker out, its Love Island time!
