Mentally, we're in the Love Island villa rn.

Any year will do, but there is something rather appealing about the lads of Love Island 2024.

Scrap that, we've just remembered that Dami Hope, Adam Collard and Davide Sanclimenti were part of the Love Island 2022 cast - okay, take us back there please.

Chilling on a yellow beanbag under that scorching Mallorca sun, while Davide massages our feet, Adam works the shoulders, and Dami whispers sweet nothings into our ear with those Irish dulcet tones.

In reality we're working in a mild living room because even though it's July we live in England, so of course, it's p*ssing it down. From fantasy to reality just like that.

If you're in need of a dash of escapism today, stay on this page and reminisce about Love Island 2022 with us and all those gorgeous Islanders who scorched up our boiling hot summer two years ago.

Who won Love Island 2022?

Davide and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu took the crown, followed by runners-up Gemma Owen and Luca Bish in second place, Dami and Indiyah Polack in third place, and Andrew Le Page and Tasha Ghouri in fourth place.

Paige Thorne and Adam just missed out on the final, coming in fifth place.

Paige Thorne

Paige was the first Love Island star confirmed for the series. She finished in fifth place with returning Islander Adam but the pair have since split following nugget-gate. Paige returned to her gig as a paramedic in Swansea, but now she's a full-time influencer, which means she's basically always on holiday.

Adam Collard

Returning Islander Adam left the villa a changed man with girlfriend Paige. He has since been travelling, working on his personal fitness brand and getting into trouble at Freshers' events. He starred in Celebs Go Dating in 2023 alongside Love Island 2021 finalist, Chloe Burrows. He is now dating presenter Laura Woods.

She is also still with Andrew; they now live together and share a pooch.

Davide Sanclimenti 4 of 25

Davide Sanclimenti

Italian fit lord Davide was the first bombshell to enter the villa and, frankly, it's a moment we'll request to rewatch on our death bed. He ended up winning the bloomin' thing with queen of queens Ekin-Su and he's since dropped a collection with boohooMAN. The Love Island 2022 winners had their own travel show but split in 2023. He's now mostly modelling and going on holiday.

Gemma Owen

Gemma had the nation's tongues wagging when she stepped into the Love Island villa as the 19-year-old daughter of football icon Michael Owen. The international dressage rider and business owner came in second place with boyfriend Luca and now she's been on Love Island she is, of course, also a thriving influencer, as well as an ambassador for PrettyLittleThing. She's since split from Luca and generally keeps herself off the Love Island influencer radar.

Luca Bish 6 of 25

Luca Bish

One of 2022's most controversial contestants, Luca made it all the way to final with girlfriend Gemma. The pair came in second place. He was set to launch his own podcast called The Bish n Chips Show, but nothing came of it. He's now single after his relationship with Gem came to an end. He appeared on Celebrity MasterChef in 2023 and made it to the final.

Dami Hope

Microbiologist Dami coupled up with Amber Beckford in the early days of Love Island life, but eventually ended up with Indiyah and they literally lived happily ever after in third place. His style game post-Love Island is something else and he's moved in with Indiyah.

Andrew Le Page 9 of 25

Andrew Le Page

Estate agent Andrew coupled up with Tasha early on – and despite a slight bump in the road in the form of Coco Lodge's boob – the pair left in fourth place and are still utterly loved up. Since leaving the villa he's still dating Tanya, he's been pictured at countless events wearing ultra snazzy threads, while sipping free booze. Fair play.

Danica Taylor

Nobody has fought for love that hard on ITV since Cheryl delivered that iconic X Factor performance. We love us some Danica Taylor and we were so happy when she left the villa arm in arm with bombshell Jamie - sadly the couple managed just a few weeks on the outside before calling it quits. As far as we can tell, since leaving the villa Danica has been owning the Instagram game and generally living her best life. She recently released her debut single, Ugh, which is nothing short of iconic FYI.

Saying that, he's been seriously working on his fitness since leaving the villa and recently announced that he is now offering online coaching through his new app. He also launched Playtime Podcast with Made in Chelsea's Miles Nazaire, but the boys have put pause on it now for now.

Summer Botwe21 of 25

Summer Botwe

Summer Botwe made a few headlines after being connected to bombshell Josh and TOWIE's Roman Hackett, not to mention her feud with Coco. It's safe to say after shaking off all that drama, she is now living her best life - summer is far from over for this one.
