He was a key player in one of the most explosive moments in Love Island history...

Who could ever forget the return of Malin Andersson in Love Island 2016 when she confronted Terry Walsh and his naughty boy ways? He thought he was enjoying a cute lads lunch with Scott Thomas, but in reality, Storm Malin was heading to the bar to demand justice.

If you didn't watch the show back in 2016 be sure to head over to YouTube and check it out – you will not be disappointed.

This was back when the Islanders smoked 24/7, had sex on top of the covers and went on the show in the hopes of finding true love rather than bagging themselves a clothing deal and the title of influencer.

Eight years later and Love Island is a totally different ball game with countless spin-offs including the highly anticipated All Stars and the less well received, Love Island Games (we say that because we still can't actually watch the blooming thing).
