We got to know loveable Love Island 2024 OG Ciaran Davies on screen earlier this summer and watched his relationship with then girlfriend Nicole Samuel blossom before our eyes and even though they didn't end up winning the show, they did give their relationship a good go IRL, until they suddenly didn't...
The runners-up left us reeling earlier this month (December 2025) when they confirmed they’d split following social media speculation about their relationship status.
Now he's single, Ciaran's name has been, of course, been added to the All Stars rumour mill, although it looks like he's got his sights set on another reality show...
Who is Love Island's Ciaran Davies?
Ciaran is an Islander who took part in Love Island series 11. He made it all the way to the final four and came in second place alongside Nicole. Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan ended up winning the show.
Who did Ciaran Davies couple up with on Love Island?
For his first few days in the villa he was coupled up with Harriett Blackmore – which, let's be real, went disastrously wrong. He then coupled up with Nicole on day five, and remained loyal and smitten for the duration of his time in the villa. Several weeks into their relationship (in mid-July), Ciaran asked Nicole to be his girlfriend and she said YES because they are just the CUTEST. Again, until they weren't.
Technically, he also went on one date with bombshell Lolly Hart in the villa; she chose him for a date in the Hideaway, but nothing came of it. Obv.

He is 21 years old.

What has Ciaran Davies been up to since Love Island finished?
Shortly after their time in the villa came to an end, Ciaran and Nicole moved in together. During a chat with heat, the couple opened up about their future together and what makes their relationship work.
'We also both make sure to do little things for each other, which we love and they mean a lot to us..'
We're guessing he has moved out of Nicole's place since we had this conversation.
Are Ciaran Davies and Nicole Samuel still together?
Sadly not. In early December 2025 a rep for the pair released the following statement, 'Over the last couple of days Nicole and Ciaran have made the mutual decision to part ways.
‘They have left the relationship on amicable terms, and will remain good friends going forward.’
The sad news followed weeks of split and rift rumours.
Which former Islander does Ciaran Davies pretend to be on nights out?
According to the ruby player from South Wales, he once pretended to be Love Island 2021 winner Liam Reardon to get him and his mates into a club in Malia.
Prior to entering the villa, Ciaran revealed, 'When I was in Malia on a boys holiday I pretended to be Liam Reardon from series 7 to get into a club because they wouldn’t let us in. It worked and we ended up getting a private booth and free drinks all night.'
It's giving 21 years old – and we hate ourselves a little for finding this mildly impressive.
