Here’s the lowdown on what the Love Island 2022 cast is doing now…
Davide and Ekin-Su set up their Christmas tree
What are Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti doing now?
Ekin-Su has already bagged the biggest fashion deal in Love Island history after signing a clothing deal with fashion brand Oh Polly, reportedly worth a whopping £1million.
She and Davide also fronted their own reality show, just three months after they were crowned king and queen of the villa.
Ekin-Su & Davide: Homecomings' documented the loved-up pair as they returned to their respective hometowns in Turkey and Italy.
And that's not the only TV deal they had up their sleeve! Davide and Ekin signed a huge deal with GoogleUK for their very own cooking show, the couple took their witty repartee to the kitchen to take on culinary challenges.
The couple have since moved in together in a place of their own in Essex, where Ekin-Su lived before heading into the villa. Davide left his home in Manchester to make the relationship milestone.
Since leaving the show, Davide is the first male islander from this series to have landed a huge brand deal after it was revealed that he signed a six-figure deal with online fashion retailer boohooMAN.
He's following in the footsteps of past islanders who have signed with the same brand, such as Toby Aromolaran, Wes Nelson and Tommy Fury.
What are Gemma Owen and Luca Bish doing now?
Gemma and Luca may no longer be an item, but they're still flourishing in their careers!
International dressage rider Gemma – who already has her own swimwear line, OG Beachwear – was bombarded with brand offers since leaving the villa, and she has now been named as the new ambassador for PrettyLittleThing, following in the footsteps of Molly-Mae Hague.
Following his summer of love, Luca announced a YouTube channel called 'The Bish n Chips Show' and is set to make a whopping £100,000 from sponsored Instagram posts after finishing Love Island in second place.
Luca is yet to be in talks for brand deals, but he’s been enjoying his life outside the villa.
What are Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page doing now?
Tasha Ghouri became eBay's first-ever Pre-Loved ambassador after the online marketplace became the reality TV show’s first non-fast-fashion partner.
And it doesn't stop there! The 24-year-old then went on to sign a whopping six-figure deal with L'Oreal. She announced the big beauty news on her Instagram Stories, writing: "I'm now an official UK ambassador for L'Oreal Paris. So excited for this."
The former Islander joins a long list of Hollywood royalty who have also served as the face of the famous cosmetics brand, such as Kate Winslet and Helen Mirren – not bad!
And if that wasn't enough, Tasha announced in November that she'd begun working with Sisters & Seekers on their first-ever collaboration collection of loungewear.
If you're still not impressed with the dancer's business moves, she also featured in Ann Summers' Christmas campaign!
Andrew Le Page has decided to leave his former job in Dubai and stay in the UK following his time in the villa.
The couple have moved in together after he stayed at her flat with her housemates for a short time following their time on Love Island.

What are Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope doing now?
Indiyah and Dami recently moved in together in London, where the hotel waitress originally lived.
They’ve been getting to know each other’s families since leaving the villa and have even attended a string of events together.
After reports that Indiyah has been in talks for a brand deal with Boohoo as well as fitness brand Gymshark, who reached out to the islander via Twitter, the islander signed a huge brand deal with Boots as their new Beauty Ambassador!
She has also since landed a six-figure deal after becoming PrettyLittleThing’s first ever Marketplace ambassador for the fashion brand’s new sustainable outlet!
If that's not exciting enough, according to this tabloid, Indiyah could also be the latest UK reality star to crack America, with the islander gaining interest across the pond, even with Rihanna's brand, Fenty Beauty.
An insider said: "Indiyah really has the world at her fingertips right now. She didn’t put a step wrong in the villa so it’s no surprise people are rushing to work with her.
“She could easily make it big in America – there’s a lot of buzz around her at the moment.”
And who knows, maybe even some time in the studio with Lizzo could happen after the superstar shared her love for Indiyah!
What are Paige Thorne and Adam Collard doing now?
Paige and Adam are no longer together, with the Welsh paramedic moving on from their split with a busy work schedule whilst Adam returned to running his gym.
Shortly after her time in the villa Paige signed a six-figure deal with clothing brand Forever Unique, which is owned by Real Housewives of Cheshire's Seema Malhotra.
The islander is said to be the 'perfect fit' for the brand, with Paige adding: "This is a real pinch me moment, I can’t believe I have my very own collection with a brand I’ve loved for years!"
This comes after she revealed she was forced to quit her job as a paramedic before going on Love Island over fears of NHS backlash.
She has since returned to her job as a Bank Paramedic, explaining: “Being on a Bank contract means I can pick and choose when I work my shifts and what would work for me. So having a Bank contract means I can have the best of both worlds."
Meanwhile, Adam has returned to his job as a personal trainer, sharing a video in the gym alongside the caption: “Riding that wave but the mission remains the same… I love this game for the physical, the mental and helping so many people along the way. Let’s get better together.”
