This year's series of Love Island was one for the history books and before you declare, 'you guys say that EVERY season,' this time around we are talking facts.

Of course, we had our first celebrity bombshell in the form of Joey Essex, who rocked up on day one and sent the Love Island 2024 villa into CHAOS but that's not what we are talking about.

History was made when Mimii Ngulube and Josh Sunday Oyinsan were declared winners of season 11 and became the first ever black couple to do so. Iconic, to say the least.

Now that they are back on UK soil we jumped at the opportunity to catch up with the new king and queen of the Spanish villa and chat all things Love Island.

There are a million and one things we are always desperate to know about taking part in the romance reality TV show. How naughty do you have to be before you're told off? What's the food like? What DON'T we see?

We also love to know what the Islanders are given by ITV when their time on the dating series comes to an end and do the winners get something extra special?

Obviously, we know that they go home with a cheeky £50k between them but do they get given a 'I WON LOVE ISLAND AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY T-SHIRT' top?

Not quite.

"We got the phone," Mimii and Josh both confessed, "the Google phone."

"Which was nice," Mimii added, "and there were some photos on there."

At least they know what happens with the thousands of selfies they take in the villa.

"I gave it to my mum," Josh told us and SOMEBODY is going to be the favourite son, isn't he?

We always knew that the model was a good lad and he continues to prove us right.

WATCH: It’s all love outside the villa 🥰
