Let's not lie, Love Island has always been good but series five - aka Love Island 2019 - was truly iconic.

We had Amber Gill being a queen throughout the series, we were introduced to Molly-Mae Hague and we'll never forget Maura Higgins putting Tom Walker in his place. That was TV gold.

Also, remember when Yewande Biala said her iconic "have a nice life" line? Sherif Lanre got kicked off the show after nine days and Michael Griffiths mugged Amber off but then changed his mind when Joanna Chimonides was dumped.

Oh, and we'll never forget Anna Vakili screaming at her boyfriend Jordan Hames for trying to crack on with India Reynolds just two days after they became an official couple. So shady.

Remember when it kicked off between Anna and Jordan? ITV

It's been five years since Amber and Greg O'Shea were crowned the winners of Love Island 2019 and the series five Islanders have gone on to have major success and we dare we say it? They're probably the most famous bunch out of the gazillion Love Island stars we've watched over the years.

So we thought now is a good time to see what they're all doing now...

Ovie is still the hottest main to grace reality TV and we're fuming that we haven't randomly bumped into him. Months after coming third in the competition he split from India but the pair appear to be on good terms because they've not unfollowed each other on Instagram. Career wise Ovie landed a gig on This Morning, he became an ambassador for ASOS (pretty boujee for a Love Island star) and he joined the Sky Sports team. Ovie is still playing basketball and a reg at fashion weeks worldwide.

We LOVED Greg during his time in the villa; he seemed to be one of the only guys with sense (remember he questioned why Curtis gave Jordan terrible advice?). Unfortunately that all changed when he apparently dumped our babe Amber over text – rude. Greg bagged a law degree after the villa, competed in the 2020 Olympics and is now a presenter.

There's only one couple from Love Island 2019 series that's still together and it's Molly-Mae and Tommy. It might come as a shock to viewers who branded Molly as 'Money Mae' during her time in the villa and Anton Danyluk who accused her of playing a game - shortly after she pied him.
