We may nearly be at the end of this year's series of Love Island but that doesn't stop us from reminiscing about the older seasons and by 'older series' we mean, erm, Love Island 2023.

OK so it WAS only last year but still, because we have spent the past however-many-weeks listening to Sean Stone talk about sweets and observed Grace Jackson looking flawless each and every episode, it seems like YEARS since we met the cast of 2023.

Sammy Root and Jess Harding may have been crowned king and queen of the 2023 villa but they split shortly after, in fact there are only two couples still going strong from the season.

Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki, who came in second place, are still very much an item and despite confirming their split earlier on this year it looks as though Zach Noble and Molly Marsh are back on.

So what has the London lad been up to since his time on the dating show? Is he still playing basketball? Has Molly managed to make a TikTok star out of him? Let's find out...

Who was Zach coupled up with?

First coupling up with Catherine Agbaje, the couple remained together for nearly a week before Zach kissed Molly during a challenge and the pair hit it off. But, the arrival of bombshell Charlotte Sumner meant Zach couldn't couple up with Molly as the newbie bombshell had her sights set on the basketball player and picked him at the recoupling.

Molly and Zach were finally able to select each other on the second week but their blossoming romance was interrupted by another bombshell in the form of Love Island 2016 pocket rocket, Kady McDermott.

Molly was dumped when Kady chose to couple up with Zach but the producers clearly had a trick or two up their sleeves as they brought Molly back during Casa Amor.

Zach rekindled his romance with Molly in Casa and the couple made it to the final and came in fourth place.

When did Zach try to kiss Kady?

In potentially one of us the most awkward moments in Love Island history, Zach tried to make a move on Kady just moments after Molly had been chucked out.

Kady essentially said, "thanks but no thanks," leading to an embarrassed Zach admitting to his broskis that he had been pied.

What happened with Zach Noble and Whitney Adebayo?

Although they flirted a little and even went on a date together, Zach and runner up Whitney never QUITE made a go of things.

Although fans enjoyed the concept of them becoming a couple, any idea that could ever happen was shot down during the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge when Whitney pied Zach and claimed he was coupled up with Molly because it was "the easy way out."

Shady AF.

Who is Zach Noble's sister?

Zach's sister is none other than Radio 1Xtra DJ Snoochie Shy who was a contestant on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, the post-lockdown series which took place in the dreaded Cardiff castle rather than sunny ole' Australia.

What happened with Zach Noble and Molly Marsh?

Well, they left the show as a couple and it seemed like we had an opposites attract rom-com on our hands with the theatre queen and basketball legend falling in love but the couple confirmed they had indeed split in March 2024.

Fast forward to now (July 2024) and the duo are constantly seen out together either attending events holding hands or travelling together.

Not only that but Zach is featured on Molly's social media account more than his own and they appeared on a recent episode of Aftersun looking very much in love.
