As this year's series of Love Island came to a dramatic end and we crowned Josh Oyinsan and Mimii Ngulube the king and queen of Love Island 2024, it got us thinking about all the winners from past seasons.

Is Amber Davies still making meme-worthy faces? Does Nathan Massey still lose his mind when Cara De La Hoyde passes wind in front of him? We just have to know.

So join us as we take a trip down memory lane and explore what our Love Island winners are currently up to as of 2024.

Love Island 2015 (series one) winner - Jess Hayes and Max Morley

Jess and Max were a perfect example of opposites attract during their Love Island experience, but it seems they were a little too opposite as the relationship was short-lived and ended soon after they left the villa.

Jess is now living the influencer lifestyle with her fiancée Zeb and son Presley (from a previous relationship) and seems to be part of the reality TV mum gang as she often attends events alongside former TOWIE star Sam Faiers.

Max also has a son called Brooklyn. For a hot sec Max made some money as a model but he now just seems to play a great deal of cricket and go on lush holidays. Max is friends with Love Island's Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page though, they even shared a few holiday snaps on the 'gram.

Love Island 2016 (season two) winners - Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey

Potentially the funniest couple to win the show, Cara and Nathan are still together. It is a Love Island miracle. They did have a bit of a rocky time when they first left Majorca but when Cara fell pregnant they decided to give it another go and look at them now.

Love Island 2017 (season three) - Amber Davies and Kem Cetinay

Amber and Kem really went through it during their time on Love Island, they stayed loyal to each other for a few weeks before both coupling up with other people during Casa Amor.
