Following last night’s explosive Love Island final, former Islander Sophie Piper has revealed that she and her villa beau have taken the next step in their relationship.

Despite not making it to the live final, Sophie and Connor Durman seemed to have found the real deal when they coupled up on day one as part of the original line up.

And after a brief triangle scenario and a few days apart when Connor was booted from the villa, Rochelle Humes’ sister and the coffee bean salesman have been going from strength to strength in the romance stakes.

The pair have each featured regularly on the others’ Instagram pages after both arriving back in Blighty and now Sophie has spilled the tea on their current relationship status.

Hang on - Does Tyson Fury's win mean Tommy Fury has proposed to Molly-Mae?

Sophie and Connor are the fifth couple to declare themselves exclusive from this year’s series, after finalists Demi Jones and Luke Mabbott, and Jess Gale and Ched Uzor, had the conversation on their final dates last week.

Runners up Siânnise Fudge and Luke Trotman and winners Paige Turley and Finn Tapp went a step further during their time in the villa and each couple became boyfriend and girlfriend – and by the end of the series, all four of them had dropped the L Bomb (shout out to Finn’s particularly beautiful declaration).

We’ve got high hopes for this series’ couples.
