Love Island 2022 is just around the corner, with the iconic ITV2 show reportedly returning to our screens on 6 June.
However, the cast of 2021 i still fresh in our minds, with winners Millie Court and Liam Reardon giving us all of the couple goals and Liberty Poole slaying single life with her villa bestie Kaz Kamwi.
If you're anything like us, though, you'll want to know who the 2021 Islanders were like behind their infleuncer telly personas.
So we've done some digging through their social medias to find some of their earliest photos from before they were being broadcast into the front rooms of every home in the nation.
But it does look as though a few of the Islanders cast a critical eye over their Instagram accounts before they went on the show - less embarrassing teen throwbacks, and more influencer-worthy editing.
But it's still fun to look, right?
CHECK OUT: Love Island 2021's first ever Instagram photos
Love Island 2021's first Instagram posts
1 of 16Chloe Burrows
Chloe may have caught all the boys' attentions as evidenced in a recent explosive episode, but you can see she's always been a stunner from this uni halls pic taken way back in 2015.
2 of 16Faye Winter
Faye has certainly nailed this classic Instapose in this snap from 2019 - the hair, tan and Adidas bodysuit are all on point and a sign of things to come.
3 of 16Brad McClellan
A quick glance over Brad's insta and it's clear he uses it primarily to document his fitness journey. This snap from 2017 is from before it all began.
4 of 16Kaz Kamwi
Kaz was already a fashion blogger before she entered the Love Island villa, and so her first photo is appropriately professional looking (boo).
5 of 16Jake Cornish
Finally, a properly old photo! You can tell that Jake was already going to the gym when this photo was taken with a mate back in 2013.

PS. Enjoy this bonus pic of baby Jake with none other than footballer Wayne Rooney.
7 of 16Hugo Hammond
When he was a teenager, Hugo played Cricket for England's Physical Disability team.

PS. Baby Hugo for your viewing pleasure x
9 of 16Aaron Francis
Like Kaz, Aaron was already trying his hand as an influencer before he signed up to Love Island and so most of his photos are pretty glossy, but scroll down far enough and we found this photo of him seemingly winning an arm wrestle against Somoan Rugby Union player Many Tuilangi.
10 of 16Toby Aromolaran
Toby's not giving anything away with this sultry selfie from 2018, other than perhaps that he's heading off on his holidays, judging by his passport and boarding pass. He doesn't look that excited about it though, does he?
11 of 16Sharon Gaffka
In case you missed it, Sharon used to compete in beauty pageants and was Miss UK 2018. Here she is from the Galaxy pageant that same year.
12 of 16Liberty Poole
It looks like Liberty has always been a big fan of the finer things in life - as well as a blonde hair extension or two - judging from this snap with a pal from 2019.
13 of 16Liam Reardon
Viewers couldn't believe that Liam was only 21 when he entered the villa, but here's proof that Liam looked 30 way back in 2018 (regular teenaged boy for reference).
14 of 16Rachel Finni
This photo of Rach taken on a night out was posted in 2017 but captioned, "2 Years Ago ud83dude2b#CanILookLikeThisAgainPlease", so we can assume it's from way back in 2015.
15 of 16Millie Court
Proving she's always been a fan of posing up a storm in a bikini, we're majorly jeal of Millie's 2018 holiday to Cannes. Ahh, holidays - remember those?
16 of 16Lucinda Strafford
Right, we can't actually believe this 2018 photo of bombshell Lucinda - have Love Island checked her I.D.? Is she old enough to be on the show?

Love Island secrets: how real is the show? What happens off screen? What's the audition process?
Sometimes Love Island Twitter commentary is almost as good as Love Island itself. We spend most of the ad breaks scrolling through the reaction to the episodes, liking the best memes, retweeting the tea and sending them ALL to our WhatsApp group chats. It’s basically our night-time routine now, huns.
Last year, there is few funnier Love Island commentators than 2019 Love Island winner Amber Gill, who made a name for herself as the realest reality star we’ve ever come across.
She’s not afraid to say what she thinks, but she’s also full of empathy for some Islanders after going through an emotional rollercoaster on her season of the show.
We rounded up some of Amber's absolute BEST tweets about the show, which you can read here.
