Can you believe that Love Island has been on our TV screens for nearly a decade?

From the All Stars spin-off and the winter series to an Aussie, US and Albanian version, the dating show has gone worldwide.

The revamped show first hit our TV screens in 2015 and introduced us to the likes of Hannah Elizabeth and Jon Clark.

One person who was an OG Islander on season one of the series is Chris Williamson.

If the name doesn't ring any bells when it comes to Love Island we wouldn't blame you, but it turns out you might recognise him from Instagram and such like.

Check out what he's been up to below.
