It's not Love Island without at least one of the contestants having links to a former Islander, and of course, this year's series is no different.
Dejon Noel-Williams is Tyrique Hyde's personal trainer, Emily Moran is pals with Nicole Samuel, and Megan Forte-Clarke is such good pals with an All Star that she has her on speed-dial.
Megan, who was recently dumped from the villa alongside Remell Mullins, paid us a little visit to Closer HQ after leaving the show and lifted the lid on her Love Island pal...
'My girl Harriett [Blackmore] was one of the first people to FaceTime me when I left,' she revealed referring to the series 11 OG, 'love her, she's an icon, she's a queen.'
Harriett IS an icon; it takes one hell of an Islander to launch a TikTok trend. During her stint on the dating show EVERYBODY everywhere was doing 'The Harriett Walk'.
'I've been chatting to her a good bit,' she went on, 'obviously, she knows what it's like in there, we've been catching up,' Megan explained.
Harriett knows better than anyone how wild it can be after leaving the romance reality TV show. She did it twice, and both of her experiences were eventful to say the least.
Her second stint in the villa ended when her former All Stars came back and voted her Ronnie Vint off the show. During the voting, Harriett went head to head with Olivia Hawkins after she accused Harriett's bestie, Grace Jackson of sending suspicious message. It was a whole saga.
'Little Dolly lunch,' Megan grinned with a laugh, referencing the nickname Harriett shares with fellow Love Island besides Grace and Matilda Draper.
WATCH : Maybe this is why we rarely see the Love Island stars eat in the villa 👀
