Before the Love Island 2023 final airs tonight, we’re remembering some of the forgotten moments of one of the final couples, Zach Noble and Molly Marsh.
Although they've been going strong for a number of weeks, they’ve had quite a journey and haven’t been without their romantic moments, and nobody can say that they haven't given us drama.
Zach originally being coupled up with Catherine
While Molly and Zach have been virtually inseparable lately, it’s hard to believe that they were both originally coupled up with other Islanders.
Molly was couple up with Mitch Taylor (aka Messy Mitch) when Zach entered the villa as the very first bombshell. Zach first chose to couple up with Catherine Agbaje, much to the annoyance of her then-partner, André Furtado.
It wasn’t until the next recoupling that Zach and Molly made it official and paired up.
Zach trying to kiss Kady the day after Molly left
When Molly first left the villa, Zach wasted no time in moving on. In one of the cringiest moments in Love Islandhistory, Zach brought Kady McDermott to the terrace and leaned in for a kiss, only to be pied so politely that even we couldn’t believe our eyes.
Honestly, we’re surprised he didn’t leave then and there, but luckily for him, Molly was likely already packing her suitcase to be one of the Casa Amor girls, determined to steal Zach back.
Molly and Zach’s roller-skating date
The dates on Love Island can be hit-and-miss, and Love Island 2023 has been giving us some original dates to say the least.
Sammy Root and Jess Harding’s romantic final waltz-themed date is a standout, and Whitney Adebayo and Mehdi Edno’s tandem bike ride date is also a fan-favourite.
Another would be Zach and Molly’s roller-skating date, although it is probably best remembered for what is now known as Molly’s “feral cat impression.”
Zach kissing Kady in the challenge
The Snog, Marry, Pie challenge always causes arguments, and honestly, we love it.
This year was no exception, and while the Mitch and Abi Moores situation hit a new height during this challenge, it also caused Zach and Molly’s first real fight. While Molly chose to kiss Zach, pie Mitch and marry Lochan Nowacki, Zach bizarrely chose to snog Kady McDermott.
This hit a sore spot for Molly, as it was Kady who inadvertently sent Molly packing in her dramatic dumping. Although the pair eventually squished their beef, that didn’t stop Molly smirking as Kady was sent packing in just the next episode.
Molly’s dad pulling Zach for a chat
Meeting the parents is always nerve-wracking, particularly if it’s being filmed and you have to do it in swimwear.
When Zach met Molly’s parents, her dad did every man’s nightmare and pulled Zach for a quick one on one chat.
While Molly’s dad grilled him on how he would behave on the outside, Zach assured him he was in it for the long haul, explaining, “I’ve found the one I want.”
Molly bringing Zach a bracelet
After the pair had kissed and made up, Molly revealed that when she was dumped from the villa, she was determined to wait for Zach on the outside.
She even bought a bracelet in the airport - oh, the romance. She delivered her gift on the terrace, and the rest is history.
