It's common for Love Island contestants to have their ups and downs in the public eye. For example, All Star's Joanna Chimonides received a torrent of online hate when she was brought back to the villa by Michael Griffiths after Casa Amor. However, once she left the villa, she quickly turned it around and has become one of the most successful former Islanders.
One of her fellow All Star Islanders is going through similar redemption arc of their own. Anton Danyluk was definitely not one of our favourite contestants on Love Island 2019, so imagine our shock now that he's become one of the best - dare we say, the best - men in the villa at the moment.
Considering that the fifth series of the romance reality show introduced us to Molly Mae Hague AND Maura Higgins, as well as basketball star Ovie Soko, Anton had a lot to compete with the first time around. However, this time he's rocketed to no. 1, and him telling Messy Mitch Taylor to "be a man, not a boy" solidified his dreamboat status for us.

What happened when Anton Danyluk was on Love Island?
Anton was an OG Islander and originally coupled up with Amy Hart before she moved on to Curtis Pritchard.
During his time in the villa, Anton found himself matched with a few different contestants, including TOWIE star Elma Pazar and eventual winner Amber Gill.
But it wasn't until day 30 day that he met Belle Hassan and the couple stayed together until day 56 when they were ultimately dumped, just ahead of the final.
Where is Anton Danyluk now?
In 2020, Anton moved to Dubai where he worked as a fitness coach. He has been even more focused on his fitness after starting to compete in bodybuilding and is looking more ripped than ever.
Anton hit the headlines in 2021 when he was involved in a car crash. Sharing a photo of his car looking wrecked after the incident, he wrote, "Those who drive in Dubai will know the drivers are mad out here; always rushing about. You have to have eyes in the back of your head. Feeling blessed to be alive after this last night ❤️. I will update you all later to what happened but I’m okay just feel so grateful that no one was hurt.”
He later explained how he crashed into the side of a bus which drove across him but thankfully no one was hurt in the collision.
Are Anton Danyluk and Belle Hassan still together?
Despite a turbulent time in the villa, Anton and Belle left the villa as a couple shortly before the final. Sadly, they split just weeks later after Anton was pictured partying up a storm in Ibiza.
Who has Anton Danyluk dated?
After leaving the villa, Anton had an on/off relationship with fellow gym bunny, Dominika Blonska. The two were always off gallivanting around the world or working out or both. Nice for some. The pair split for good in September 2023, allowing him just enough time to heal before heading back into the Love Island villa. So everything really does happen for a reason.
Why did Anton Danyluk unfollow Molly-Mae Hague?
Although they appeared to get on when they were in the villa, Anton unfollowed fellow Islander Molly-Mae shortly after returning to the UK amid reports of a feud. It was claimed that he felt she was "tactical" in eliminating him and Belle from the competition.
However, Anton set the record straight when he told The Scottish Sun, "When I was in the villa, I didn't follow anyone, my management followed every Islander. But on the outside, when I noticed Molly-Mae on my newsfeed, I unfollowed her. I have nothing against her, we just didn't speak in the villa. We would be in the same room and wouldn't say a word to each other."
Things then got awkward at the Love Island reunion when he refused to re-follow Molly and she told him, "I thought we were friends."
