Over the years there's been some standout Love Island stars but Camilla Thurlow was the sweetheart of Love Island 2017 and nobody deserved a happily ever after more, especially considering the Scottish contestant's tough time in the villa.

It took over month of failed couples before Camilla finally met her match in the form of Jamie Jewitt.

On day 32 Essex born Jamie strolled into the villa, wooed Camilla and the whole world rejoiced as it was clear that Camilla had finally found her knight in shining armour.

It's been six years since Camilla took part in season three of Love Island and the runner up has gone from strength to strength.

We always knew she was a queen, remember how annoyed she was when Jonny Mitchell made it clear he knew next to nothing about feminism? Ultimate red flag in our Camilla's eyes.

Since leaving the villa, Camilla has continued to reign supreme from joining in on Women's Right marches to working with the Choose Love non-profit organisation, Camilla Thurlow walked so Sanam Harrinanan could run.
