There's only one Love Island 2018 couple remaining and it's not Adam Collard and Zara McDermott

As if we haven't been through enough Love Island-induced trauma lately, what with Josh Denzel and Kaz Crossley and Megan Barton-Hanson and Wes Nelson calling it quits, Adam Collard and Zara McDermott have now SPLIT.

Despite Megan Barton Hanson remaining hopeful the pair were still going strong in light of rumours they were 'on the rocks,' they've broken up following Adam's all-night 'blowout' with fellow Islanders Jack Fincham and Sam Bird.

Camilla was unlucky in love during her time in the Love Island villa. She originally paired up with Sam but when Johnny entered the villa it looked like they were the perfect match. Until their infamous feminist argument and then Tyla entered the villa. Cam had a brief fling with Craig but no one (including her) was quite prepared for dreamy Jamie entering the villa and sweeping her of her feet.

Camilla was Love Island 2017 runner up and is one of the only couples from this series to remain with her boyfriend. After leaving the villa instead of doing a billion club appearances and sponsored posts on Insta, she went back to her charity work. She's also had her very own one-off documentary What Camilla Did Next.

Chris Hughes

Chris had one of the greatest character developments during his time in the villa. Remember just days into the villa when he said "Everyone fancies me in here."Seriously, how confident?!After mugging Chloe off, he became smitten with Olivia but then she mugged him off and got with Mike. Chris didn't give up and he managed to win Olivia over and the pair came third place on the reality show.

While Chris was filming his spin-off show with his girlfriend Olivia Attwood he decided to call it quits and viewers got to see the pair come face to face for the first time following their split. Since then, Chris has appeared on This Morning where he got a testicular exam live on TV. Months later he revealed his brother found a lump following his stint on the daytime television show. He was also rumoured to be dating Little Mix's Jesy Nelson and then they were spotted snogging in a kebab shop.

Jess was the bombshell of Love Island 2017 and she caused a stir from day one when she made it clear she was interested in Dom Lever – who at the time was in a couple with Montana Brown. Following Jess and Dom's first date they hit it off but things came crashing down when the boys voted for Jess to leave the Island.

After leaving the villa there was a lot of speculation that something went down with Jess and Mike. She denied it and fast forward a year and she's now married to Dom Lever. Cute.

Dom started his journey coupled up with Montana but was taken to Jess following their first date. He was devastated when Jess was booted out the villa but nothing quite prepared him for those rumours about Jess and Mike. He stormed out the villa and took his microphone off, it was very dramatic. Then he went to Casa Amor and was dumped from the island after Montana re-coupled up with Alex.

After leaving the villa, Dom and Jess managed to put all that Mike drama behind them after she said nothing happened. They then had a fake wedding on Good Morning Britain but a year later the pair tied the knot in a secret ceremony in Mykonos.

Sam Gowland

Sam's time in the villa was interesting. At first he paired up with Camilla then he moved onto Olivia Attwood and then he coupled up with Chloe Crowhurst. The pair were booted from the villa but weeks later Sam got a second chance and re-entered the villa (alongside Mike). He partnered up with Georgia but the pair didn't make it to the final.

She was a latecomer on the show and managed to ruffle a few feathers when she coupled up with Kem just hours after he went official with Amber. In Georgia's defence she didn't know they were a couple because she wasn't in the villa at the time. Following that mishap, she partnered up with Sam and the pair continued to see each other after they left the villa.

Marcel Somerville26 of 65

Ohh Marcel. We'll never forget the first episode of Love Island when he wouldn't stop mentioning he was in the band Blazing Squad. He was given the name Dr Marcel because he advised literally every other person in the villa about their love life. It took a while but when bombshell Gabby Allen entered the villa they fell in love and the pair came fourth in the competition.

After leaving the villa, the pair continued their relationship and all seemed well until he cheated on her while they were on holiday. After the Love Island stars had a row, Gabby reportedly went upstairs to sleep while Marcel apparently chatted to another girl, told her it was over with Gabby and then went on to sleep with her in her hotel room. Gabby and Marcel split and the Blazing Squad star has since admitted he 'regrets' cheating on his ex.

Gabby joined the villa alongside Tyne-Lexy and instantly connected with Marcel. They had a brief hiccup during his time in Casa Amor when she saw a picture of him smiling at another girl while they laid in bed together. Luckily they kissed and made up and came fourth in the competition.

Tyla was a latecomer on Love Island but she caused Jonny's head to turn and the nation was left devastated when Camilla was left heartbroken by the new couple. Tyla and Jonny hit it off but it wasn't to last because he was booted from the show. She went completely OTT when he was evicted (we'll never forget that dramatic scream she did) but the next day she was ready to move on and she did… to Mike. The pair received the fewest votes by the public and were dumped from the island.

A week after leaving the villa Tyla and Mike split up. Yup, that quickly. They were apparently even avoiding each other at the Love Island reunion party. She's since moved on, has welcomed a baby boy into the world and said Love Island is 'staged'.

Theo Campbell34 of 65

Theo Campbell

He didn't really find love on the show but Theo was definitely one of the funniest contestants from the Love Island 2017 series. We can't forget that hilarious moment when he told Tyla she should leave the villa too is she's that devastated about Jonny being dumped. We completely agreed with him tbh.

Since leaving the villa, he's shared a lot of topless pictures on Instagram, he hinted he'd return to Love Island and slammed the producers for their editing techniques. He told the Daily Star: "They create characters. Everyone pretty much got along, everyone had normal conversations. But they edit it for scenarios to work better."When I left, I thought, 'What did I do wrong?' I didn't do anything wrong. "But the way they edit it, it might look like I was stirring stuff. Viewers didn't know the whole conversation."

Jonny has moved on from the reality star and is now engaged to his model girlfriend Danielle Zarb-Cousin.

Craig Lawson38 of 65

Craig Lawson

He joined the villa halfway into the journey and after Camilla's tough time with Johnny, Craig seemed like the perfect guy (anyone would tbh). However after he compared himself and Cam to Professor Green and Millie Mackintosh (who had split) she thought things were moving too fast and they called time on their romance.

One word: Underrated. Danielle was absolutely stunning and we're still annoyed she didn't get to spend more time in the villa. It was a short but sweet stint and unfortunately she didn't find love on the show.

Considering he's shagged over 1,500 people which is quite disgusting anyway. I was expecting something a little more." Ouch.

Chloe Crowhurst44 of 65

Chloe was definitely one of the most entertaining islanders; she stirred the pot and that's what we all want. Days after the series began, TOWIE's Jon Clark accused her of dumping him and ignoring him before going on the ITV show.

Simon joined the villa when the rest of the boys were in Casa Amor and it's safe to say he caused a right stir with the ladies. At first he seemed interested in Montana but then he tried to get with Amber behind (Mon's back – rude!). After Simon and Tyla and Amber and Kem were in the bottom after being voted the two least compatible couples, it was up to the rest of the villa to dump one of the islanders and they voted out him out.

"You’ve just got to stay together and make it work. We’ve had arguments, we’ve had tiffs, we’ve had everything. We’re impulsive, we storm out on each other and stuff; but at the same time if it’s worth it you’re going to go back and be friends."
