Historically, this is when THE REAL Love Island tea is spilled; all our Islanders are fresh out of the villa, not sharing the same bedroom or loo, and filling their days with interview after interview with nosy parkers like us.

And as we're heat and we're like totally big time, we managed to nab exclusive chats with winter Love Island winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan (AKA the most wholesome winners ever – sorry, Ekin-Su and Davide) the day after the reunion.

We invited showbiz's most adorbs couple to join us and our Harriet Rose for an episode of heat Dates (our rather iconic YouTube series, FYI).

Of course, we had to take the opportunity to ask Kai how things were with fellow Islander Olivia Hawkins now the show has concluded (the pair coupled up prior to Casa Amor and both returned with new Islanders on their arms - a sight that Kai was chill af with, while Olivia, well, wasn't).

Kai probably said more words answering this one question than he uttered his entire eight weeks in the villa (love that).

He said, "You know what? I’m going to be completely honest; I’ve come out the villa and I’ve seen a lot of stuff surrounding Liv."

Discussing THAT recoupling, Kai said, "I was confused and I wasn’t going to humour her by arguing with her because I genuinely didn’t understand it, I’m not going to lie.

"She’s with Maxwell [Samuda] now and I think the world of him – he’s a very good lad. He’s one of the boys I grew closest to in there. I never wanted mine and Liv’s situation to affect his situation or my situation with Sanam, because it could’ve.

"That’s why I was very much of the mindset of just leave it, don’t argue about it, otherwise it’s uncomfortable for everyone. I’m happy, you’re happy."

He concluded in the most PERFECT way, saying, "She doesn’t deserve what she’s getting [in the press and on social media]. Everybody just needs to realise she’s a nice girl; I was coupled up with her because she’s a nice girl. She’s happy and she deserves to be in a good place."

Ladies, gentlemen and non-binary legends, your winner... *swoon*

During the 'date', as well as exposing some, ahem, x-rated scenes between Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins, Kai also called out Sanam for LYING about their relationship.
