We aren't going to lie; series three of Love Island is certainly one of our favourites.
OK, so maybe we say that every time we look back at any given past season, but with a show as iconic as Love Island, EVERY season has its stand out moments.
But in all honesty, the 2017 edition was an absolute blast.

While Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies won the show, it also brought us the likes of Chris Hughes, who could forget the awful timing of his iconic, 'Want me to rap anyone, lift the mood a bit?' quote, as well as the queen of comebacks Olivia Attwood, ex-Blazin' Squad member Marcel Somerville and the always lovely Camilla Thurlow.
It's been a fair few years since the 2017 class graduated from the school of Love Island and we can tell you A LOT has changed.
Check out: what all of the 2017 Love Island stars are up to now
Love Island series three: where are they now - stacked
Amber Davies
Despite a few ups and downs on the show, Amber was crowned the winner of series three alongside Kem Cetinay, with the pair landing a share of £50,000.

Amber Davies
Although the winners moved in together and things seemed to be going well, Amber and Kem announced their split just before Christmas in 2017, only a few months after leaving the villa. The pair have seemingly remained friends, with Amber going on to focus on her career. After landing a number of promotion deals, Amber's dreams came true when she was cast in the Dolly Parton musical 9 to 5 in the West End. Since then, Amber has gone on to star in CBBC's Almost Never and starred in countless other West End shows including Bring It On The Musical and Pretty Woman. She also took part in Dancing on Ice and is currently loved up with fellow West End babe, Ben Joyce.
Kem Cetinay
He was one of the favourites to win the show from the start, and after he proved his loyalty towards Amber, there was no turning back for hairdresser Kem.

Kem Cetinay
Since leaving the villa, and splitting from Amber, Kem has gone on to achieve huge success. Not only did he land a record deal with Love Island bestie Chris Hughes, he also appeared on Dancing On Ice in 2018, making it all the way to the final. Kem returned to DOI in 2019, this time as a backstage reporter, before later going on to land a showbiz reporter role on This Morning. In 2021, he was on Love Island's The Morning After podcast alongside Arielle Free and he's a mental health ambassador for CALM.
Olivia Attwood
Olivia was certainly the Marmite contestant of the 2017 series; whilst some loved her outspoken tone, others were fuming she coupled up with Chris Hughes.

Olivia Attwood
That didn't stop Olivia going on to have major success. The Essex-born girl landed her own TV show alongside Chris Hughes, before the pair sadly split up. She later appeared on Celebs Go Dating and landed a number of clothing deals, one with In The Style. Olivia has also made countless successful documentaries, is on the Loose Women panel and is also now loved-up with Blackburn Rovers footballer Bradley Dack with the couple tying the knot in 2023. Smashed it, queen.
Chris Hughes
Ahh, the lovely Chris Hughes. The nation fell in love with his puppy dog eyes and adorably cute personality back in 2017, and many were surprised he didn't actually win the show.

Chris Hughes
Since leaving the villa, Chris has become one of the biggest reality stars going, getting invited to prestigious events and landing massive deals, despite his split from Olivia Attwood. He landed his own TV show and record deal with BFF Kem. Chris is also a massive fan of horse racing and is now a presenter on ITV covering many of the events. In late 2020, Chris joined fellow Love Islander Shaughna Phillips in The Real Full Monty On Ice to draw attention to the importance of checking your body for cancer, an issue close to Chris' heart after his family suffered with testicular cancer. More recently he took part in Celebrity Big Brother where he formed a close friendship with pop star, JoJo Siwa, and is set to star in the new series of Celebrity Masterchef.
Camilla Thurlow
She took over the role of the nation's sweetheart in 2017, after she pushed down all Love Island stereotypes. After getting her heart broken a number of times in the villa, Camilla Thurlow got the last laugh when she left hand-in-hand with hunky model Jamie Jewitt.

Camilla Thurlow
Camilla and Jamie are now one of the only couples from series three remaining, and they give us relationship goals every day. Camlila has put her fame to good use since she left the villa, working for a number of charities and returning to her humanitarian work in bomb disposal, something which was documented on her TV show, What Camilla Did Next. Camilla is also a mother to three children; Nell, Nora and Brodie, who she shares with Jamie.
Jamie Jewitt
He might not be Prince Harry, but male model Jamie Jewitt had the nation gushing over him when he turned into Camilla's Prince Charming. (Who can forget THAT La La Land moment?!)

Jamie Jewitt
Similarly to Camilla, Jamie has remained grounded since he found fame, continuing to swoon in his modelling shoots. He also appeared alongside his girlfriend in her TV show, as well as attending a number of events with her and, of course, helping raise their two little girls and son.
Gabby Allen
Liverpudlian lass Gabby Allen coupled up with Marcel Somerville during her time in the villa, with the nation loving their cute romance.

Gabby Allen
Despite things looking like they were going very well between the two, Gabz dumped Marcel after he was caught cheating on her whilst they were on holiday together IRL. After taking part in Celebrity Big Brother in the summer of 2018, Gabby started dating former X Factor winner Myles Stephenson, but their romance ended in 2019. After finding fame, the reality star continued with her personal training business and she released a fitness book called 'Shape Up With Gabby'. She returned to the villa for season two of Love Island: All Stars which she won alongside Casey O'Gorman, however they split a few months later.
Marcel Somerville
Viewers fell in love with Marcel Somerville during his time in the villa, not only for his relationship with Gabby, but also due to his hilarious commentary and ongoing analysis of his fellow couples.

Marcel Somerville
Despite being caught red-handed when he cheated on Gabby, Marcel ironically released a book called Dr. Marcel's Little Book of Big Love. The singer also reunited with his former Blazin' Squad members, with the band performing a number of shows in London. Marcel is now a DJ as well as a dad to his little boy, Roman. Marcel joined ex Gabby as a contestant on All Stars 2025, but was one half of the first couple to booted out alongside Liv Hawkins. At least he made amends with Gaby.
Montana Brown
Her facial expressions made the 2018 series, and things were looking up for Montana Brown when she left the villa with Geordie boy Alex Beattie.

Montana Brown
Despite splitting from Alex not long after leaving the villa, Montana has stayed in the spotlight, attending some of the biggest events going, such as The BRIT Awards, Coachella and various film premieres. The reality star is also a successful TV host and a brand ambassador for various different clothing brands. Montana is also still good friends with Gabby Allen, as well as Kaz Crossley from the 2018 series. She is now loved up with a son called Jude as well as a baby girl.
Alex Beattie
Love Island viewers gushed over Alex Beattie when he arrived late in the villa in 2018, and it didn't take him long to couple up with Montana Brown.

Alex Beattie
Alex didn't let his split from Montana get to him, with the Geordie PT still very big on his fitness, hosting an online fitness plan for fans, as well as continuing with his modelling. He is currently dating fellow gym bunny, Caroline O Mahoney.
Sam Gowland
After entering the villa as a late arrival, Middlesbrough lad Sam Gowland found it hard to find a girl, meaning he left the villa as 'friends' with former TOWIE star Georgia Harrison.

Sam Gowland
Fear not though, as after leaving the show, Sam was quick to find a job, landing a spot in the cast of Geordie Shore, where he met Chloe Ferry. Unfortunately, the pair announced they'd split in May 2019, but revealed they had remained friends. Now, Sam's working as a property developer between Bali and Dubai and, from the looks of his Instagram, he's very much living the high life.
Tyla Carr
Tyla Carr was linked with Jonny Mitchell, Mike Thalassitis and Theo Campbell during her time on the show.

Tyla Carr
None of these romances materialised though, and now Tyla has welcomed a son called Archie, with ex-partner Rossco Edmonds.
Jonny Mitchell
He was known as the boy who broke Camilla's heart for most of the show, but Jonny Mitchell didn't let that get to him during his time in the villa.

Jonny Mitchell
After leaving the show without a girlfriend, Jonny went on to appear in Celebrity Big Brother, and he was engaged to model Danielle Zarb-Cousin for a hot minute. The pair split in 2019.
Dom Lever
He was one of the nation's favourites when Love Island kicked off in the summer of 2017, and it seemed Dom Lever was completely head over heels for Jess Shears when she arrived.

Dom Lever
Despite NOBODY thinking they would last, Dom and Jess are now married with two children. Dom is also enjoying a very successful career. As well as being a model and an influencer, according to his Instagram bio, he is also a fire fighter. Hot.

Jess Shears
She wasn't the most popular contestant due to her treatment of Dom, but when the pair rekindled their romance on the outside, Jess Shears seemed to change the public's opinion of her.

Jess Shears
Now happily married to Dom and a mum of two, Jess is a model and influencer and is often travelling with Dom and their two boys.
Love Island 2017's Mike Thalassitis tragically passed away in March 2019.
