Sammy Root may have won Love Island alongside Jess Harding in 2023 but their romance was a short-lived affair. In fact, the couple lasted just two months before they called time on their relationship; it wasn't as fleeting as Amber Gill's and Greg O'Shea's relationship, but it wasn't far off.
Since his time in the villa, Sammy has remained in the public eye and even followed in the footsteps of Love Island alumni Kady McDermott and Olivia Attwood and landed a role on TOWIE.
