Remember right at the start of 2024 when The Traitors (mainly Diane Carson) and Love Island: All Stars made us forget it was January? The telly dramz was so strong we basically forgot that the weather was utterly s**t and we had no money in the bank.
Then, of course, both shows came to an abrupt end and we were left waiting out the last few weeks of winter drama free.
Thankfully, it didn't take too long for Celebrity Ex on the Beach – starring the likes of Yazmin Oukhellou, James Lock, Chloe Brockett, Joe Garratt, Paige Turley, and Finn Tapp – to come along and distract us once again.
We have to say, Celeb Ex on the Beach can be a bit hit and miss, but this season was a total hit, and that's at least in part to us Love Island fans wanting to know what the heck was going on with Love Island 2020 exes Paige and Finn.
While we were all manifesting a reconciliation on the show, all we really got was a bit of closure (which was lovely to watch, don't get us wrong – we have hearts).
The former couple's journey was actually quite wholesome and touching, and although they didn't get back together, they expressed a lot of love for each other towards the end. Then, of course, Finn allegedly spent the night with fellow contestant Tamara Joy after filming, and, of course, Paige found out, so yeah. We have no clue how things are between the exes these days, but we can fathom a guess.
Anyway, the whole ordeal resulted in a single Finn and a new wingman in the form of Love Island: All Stars' Joe. Or so we thought...
Fast forward through spring and summer and it appears that Finn is no longer a single Pringle. In fact, he's definitely not because not only has he hard launched his new relationship status on social media, but Joe Garratt is publicly mourning his single bestie.
Taking to his Instagram grid, Finn shared a grayscale snap of himself embracing a GORGEOUS girl who looks like a superhuman hybrid of Zara McDermott and Nicole Samuel, and captioned the snap with a black heart emoji.
We weren't one hundred per cent sure this meant a new relationship until his Celeb Ex on the Beach bestie Joe commented, "Twas a pleasure playing alongside you sir, enjoy the retirement 🫡❤️."
Bless him.
After a deep dive, we spotted a similar grid post from a couple of week back which showed the new couple living their absolute best lives during a romantic getaway to Champneys.
Unfortunately, Finn's new queen has not been tagged on Instagram, so the identity of this mystery girl remains, well, a mystery. But the proof of a relationship is certainly there in, well, black and white.
