Love Island 2019 - aka series five - is definitely in our top two favourite seasons ever (it's up there with series two).
We had Anna Vakili and Jordan Hames' infamous argument, Amber Gillwinning the show with Greg O'Shea (literally days after he entered the villa) and Maura Higgins simply being iconic.
It's been over four years since we were first introduced to the series five bunch, so we've had a look at what they're all doing now...
Amber Gill
Amber was an OG Islander on Love Island and had a rocky time on the show. She was left devastated when Michael came back from Casa Amor with Joanna. She then got in a friendly couple with BFF Ovie but two weeks before the fina,l Greg arrived and they managed to win the show together.
Nowadays you'll see Amber living her best life on holiday, she appeared on SAS Who Dares Wins, is an author and split from footballer Jen Beattie in 2023.
Greg O'Shea
Greg entered the villa two weeks before the final alongside India and Harley. He swept Amber off her feet and went on to win the show.
Things fell apart shortly after leaving the show with reports surfacing that Greg dumped Amber by text. He's since completed his law degree, took part in the Olympics, he's now a TV presenter and he's dating a model.
Molly-Mae Hague
Molly-Mae Hague arrived in the villa on day 4 and had a date with Curtis and Tommy. Molly was an iconic bombshell because she played the field by taking an interest in Danny and Anton but when Maura entered, Molly saw sense and coupled up with Tommy. They were inseparable in the show and came runner-up.
Unless you've been living under a rock you're probably up to date with Molly-Mae. She's still loved up with Tommy, she's launched her own tanning business Filter, she's the most followed Love Island star of all time, has welcomed Bambi into the world and while she's no longer the creative director of PrettyLittleThing, she's still an ambassador for the brand.
Tommy Fury
Tommy Fury has been perfect from the get-go. He was obsessed with Molly from the beginning and it paid off because they become official in the villa, declared their love for each other and came runner-up on the show.
Tommy is now engaged to Molly, they've bought a fancy house together, he's still boxing and he welcomed baby Bambi into the world in 2023.
Ovie Soko
Ovie Soko is still one of the fittest men to ever go on Love Island. He was a Casa Amor bombshell and instantly coupled up with Anna. However when they returned to the main villa, Anna reunited with Jordan. Ovie then got in a friendly couple with Amber before recoupling with India. He came third on the show which is pretty good considering he was a Casa Amor bombshell.
Ovie and India split shortly after the show but if you're one of Ovie's 1.5 million Instagram followers then you'll know that he's still hot, playing basketball and he's working with Boss.
Anna Vakili
Whenever we think of Love Island 2019, Anna screaming 'TWO DAYS' in Jordan's face always springs to mind. She was an OG star and was coupled up with Sherif but when he was booted from the show, she got in a couple with Jordan. However her head turned towards Ovie in Casa but she soon reunited with Jordan. In a bizarre twist though, Jordan tried to 'crack on' with India, just days after getting into a relationship with Anna.
Following her time on Love Island, Anna has launched a podcast with her sister Mandi, she's hinted at a secret feud with Molly and Maura and it appears that she's got beef with Sam Thompson.
Michael Griffiths
Michael Griffiths was another OG contestant, he originally coupled up with Yewande but then recoupled with Amber. They seemed like one of the strongest couples but he surprised everyone when he recoupled up with Casa Amor's Joanna. After Joanna was dumped from the villa, Michael tried to win Amber back but it was too late and shortly after he was dumped from the villa.
He's since become the winner of PCA British championship 2022 men's physique, he made a cameo on Dream Boys and he's now a fitness trainer. Michael has also been rumoured to date Bethan Sowerby and Love Island 2018 star Ellie Brown.
Jordan Hames
Jordan coupled up with Anna, stayed loyal to her in Casa Amor and even managed to win her back from Ovie but he messed up shortly before the final when days after asking Anna to be his girlfriend, he tried to crack on with India.
He has since dated influencer Millie Hannah and he now models all over the world.
Amy Hart
Oh Amy Hart. A sweetheart who got the short straw. She was an OG star and coupled up with Anton but she decided to recouple with Curtis. They appeared like the perfect couple but she was left devastated when he tried to crack on with Jourdan. It was after Curtis and Maura started flirting that Amy decided to quit the villa.
Amy managed to get the last laugh though because she's presented for This Morning, she took part in panto and she's welcomed her first child with her fiancée Sam Rason.
Maura Higgins
She's an icon, she's a legend and she is the moment. It didn't take long for Maura to cause a stir when she tried to couple up with Tommy. However after getting mugged off by Tom, she coupled up with Curtis and they came fourth on the show.
Maura and Curtis split in March 2020. She then dated fellow Islander and BFF Chris and then Strictly's Giovanni. She's still best pals with Molly-Mae although she's seemingly fallen out with fellow Islander Lucie, she's an ambassador for Ann Summers and she bagged herself a presenting role on Love Island USA.
Yewande Biala
Yewande Biala was an OG star and coupled up with Michael and Danny. However she was dumped from the island when Danny recoupled with Arabella but she did leave by savagely telling him, "What goes around comes around, have a nice life."
Nowadays she's released her own book, hosted a podcast alongside Will Njobvu, she's best pals with fellow Islander Joe and she hosted Channel 4's documentary Secrets of the Female Orgasm.
Joe Garratt
Joe Garratt was originally coupled up with Lucie but he received a lot of backlash after fans accused him of 'gaslighting' her. He was soon dumped from the villa but insisted he'd want to continue dating Lucie outside the villa.
As of 2024, he's best pals with Yewande, he dated Frankie Sims while appearing on TOWIE, he was rumoured to be seeing Married At First Sight Australia's Jessika Power and he returned for All Stars.
Belle Hassan
Belle Hassan was a Casa Amor bombshell and instantly coupled up with Anton. Despite a few explosive rows they managed to stay together even after the show.
They've since split but Belle now has a new boyfriend, she posts make-up tutorials and she exclusively spoke to heatworld about what life as an influencer is really like.
Jourdan Riane
Another Casa Amor bombshell, Jourdan Riane coupled up with Danny and joined the main villa. Things were awkward between Jourdan and Amy because Curtis wanted to couple up with her. Unfortunately her time on the show didn't last long but still, she made it to the main villa.
Following her short Love Island stint Jourdan was rumoured to sign a modelling contract with Kendall Jenner's agency and she's the founder of skincare brand Tási Skin.

Sherif Lanre
Sherif Lanre didn't get too much airtime after he was kicked off the show after nine days. There were plenty of rumours flying around about why he was axed but it was in 2022 he finally confirmed he was booted from the villa because of an incident with Molly-Mae.
Since leaving the show, Sherif has been pretty outspoken about Love Island and he's returned to playing rugby.

After leaving the show, Arabella went on to date Wes Nelson, she's continued modelling, has been spotted on Leonardo DiCaprio's yacht and she starred on All Stars 2024.
Joanna Chimonides
Joanna Chimonides was another Casa Amor babe that's managed to stay relevant. She coupled up with Michael, became pals with Amber even after that 'dead ting' jibe and after Joanna was dumped, she branded Michael a 'snake' for not leaving with her. LOL.
However it appears that there was no bad blood because she was spotted snogging Michael at a festival, she's now BFFs with Kady McDermott and she's an ambassador for Lee Stafford and she coupled up with Chris during the All Stars series.
Elma Pazar
Elma Pazar arrived in the villa alongside Maura and she hit it off with Anton. It didn't work out though and she was dumped from the villa.

Dennon was a footballer before going on the show so you'd assume he'd do well on the show but the Casa Amor star didn't even make it back to the main villa.
