The fifth series of Love Island was one for the history books, wasn’t it? It well and truly delivered in the drama stakes introduced us to some seriously iconic Islanders like Molly-Mae Hague, Maura Higgins, Amber Gill and Anna Vakili.
There’s also some, ahem, lesser-known names from that series, for example, Callum Macleod, who was the first contestant to be dumped from the show after failing to spark a connection before the first recoupling.
But although he failed to find love on Love Island, Callum has been THRIVING in the five years since he appeared on the show. Not only is he married, after tying the knot to wife Jess last year, but he’s just announced that they’re expecting their first child together.
Callum revealed the exciting news on Instagram over the weekend as he shared a couple of snaps of himself and Jade posing with baby scan pictures. The post was captioned, “The best things in life are THREE…”
The comments section was immediately filled with well wishes from Callum’s friends and followers, including fellow Love Island 2019 star Yewande Biala, who wrote, “Congratulations ❤️❤️.”
Callum’s sister, Sarah, commented, “So excited to be an auntie. They are already so loved 🥰,” while another of his followers added, “Awww congratulations both, such lush news!! So happy for you 🥰❤️.”
2019 winner Greg O’Shea also showed his support by liking the post.
