Where are the Scottish Love Island contestants now?

Ahead of Love Island's return to our screens, which is tipped to include former Falkirk FC youth player and model Jay Munro, we take a look back at past Scots contestants and see what they're up to now.

Most recently, Paige Turley from West Lothian came out on top on Winter Love Island 2020, becoming the first ever Scot to win the show.

Paige took home the £50,000 prize with her beau, footballer Finley Tapp, and the pair are still happily coupled up in Manchester.

As reported by the Daily Record, the 23-year-old's career has thrived since leaving the villa, and she has worked alongside major brands including Superdrug, Boux Avenue, McDonald's and Pandora.

After having a difficult start, Laura was happy with her coupling with Paul and the pair were crowned runners up and lost out the crown to Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham.

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

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 himself a job with the United Nations and was given the role of World M erit Ambassador, which involves promoting health and well-being among young people around the globe.

Last year, Anton moved over to Dubai where he is working hard as personal trainer, hosting a podcast with his mum called 'What's the crack' and also working on various other projects.
