Love Island 2023 was honestly everything we'd hoped, and arguably delivered some of the best bombshells in Love Island history - excluding Maura Higgins and Ovie Soko, obvs.
One such bombshell was Sammy Root. While he had some controversial moments, he did nab the £50,000 prize alongside his girlfriend Jess Harding, so he must have done something right.
So, here's what he's doing a year after his Love Island win...
When did Sammy enter the villa?
Sammy entered the villa on day 4 of Love Island. In his first appearance, Sammy chose to take three Islanders on dates - Jess, Molly Marsh and Ella Thomas.
Who was Sammy coupled up with?
Sammy stayed coupled up with Jess until a shock recoupling forced them apart, and he started getting to know Mal Nicol.
When Mal was sent home, Sammy was introduced to six more girls in Casa Amor. He kissed both Gabby Jeffrey and Amber Wise, choosing to recouple with 19-year-old Amber.
However, the pair didn’t last, and Sammy quickly returned to Jess.
Are Sammy and Jess still together?
Unfortunately not.
Three months after winning series 10, Sammy confirmed they had split on Instagram, saying, "We had a private conversation regarding our relationship but this was left up in the air as Jess is still away and we haven't had a chance to speak in person.
“For me to then see today via the media that we had officially broken up came as a total shock. To be totally clear - I at least wanted a face to face conversation to see if our relationship could be saved and felt this would be the respectful way forward."
He went on to say, "We had the most incredible experience winning Love Island and l genuinely saw a future with Jess. I was committed and respectful to our relationship. Unfortunately, things don’t always work out the way you’d hoped.
"Despite how this has all played out today, I think Jess is an amazing woman and genuinely wish her all the best."
How old is Sammy Root?
We can hardly believe our eyes, but Sammy is just 23 years old.
What does Sammy Root do?
Before entering the villa, Sammy was a project manager. Nowadays he's an influencer and is set to appear on TOWIE.
When did Sammy Root join TOWIE?
In July it came to light that Sammy was following in the footsteps of Ella Barnes and would be joining TOWIE for series 34.
He's close pals with Roman Hackett so it shouldn't come as a huge surprise but he's already been spotted filming at the sports day race and rumour has it, he's dating an Essex star...
Who is Sammy Root dating?
After splitting from Jess, Sammy has remained single. However, Elma Pazar recently spilled the tea and hinted that Sammy has been getting to know Livvy Jay.
Does Sammy Root have Instagram?
Yes, and it’s @sammyroot_.
