Now that we know Love Island 2023 was the last winter Love Island we'll see for a while, we've got an extra appreciation for the memorable couples and bombshells it gave us. We got one of our most wholesome winning couples Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan, as well as couples like Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad and Aussie bombshell Jessie Wynter with her farming TikTok sensation Will Young.
One of the standout stars and most memorable bombshells of that season was Claudia Fogarty, who had an on/off relationship with Casey O'Gorman.
