We aren't going to lie, series three of the hit reality show is certainly one of our favourites.

OK, so maybe we say that every time we look back at the past seasons but with a show as iconic as Love Island each season has it's 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.
