If we’re being totally honest, it had been a while since we thought about Love Island’s Rebecca Gormley – but she shot back into the spotlight last month when it was announced that she would be appearing on Netflix’s brand-new reality show, Cheat: Unfinished Business.

Rebecca appeared on the Amanda Holden-fronted show alongside her Love Island 2020 ex, Biggs Chris, as they came face-to-face once again following their split in 2021.

The former Miss Newcastle caused quite a stir when she bombshelled her way into the villa five years ago and her time on Cheat was just as explosive too as it came to light that Biggs had been unfaithful during their time together.

Following her reality TV return, here’s everything you need to know about Rebecca including what she’s been up to since leaving Love Island and where she stands with Biggs following their appearance on Cheat.

What happened when Rebecca Gormley was on Love Island?

Rebecca made a pretty memorable entrance to the villa on day nine when she surprised the boys by turning up during the Dirty Dancers challenge (aka the heart rate challenge). She ended up raising Connor Durman and Callum Jones' heart rates the most, so she went on a date with the both of them. She was then whisked off on a date by Luke Trotman when he arrived on day 13, but he also caught Siânnise Fudge's eye and she ended up clashing with Rebecca.

A few days later, on day 18, Rebecca recoupled with Wallace Wilson before getting together with Jordan Waobikeze in Casa Amor. They only lasted two days as a couple before being dumped from the villa.

What happened between Rebecca Gormley and Biggs Chris?

Rebecca and Biggs briefly crossed paths in the villa during Casa Amor but nothing romantic happened between them as she was getting to know Jordan. But that all changed when they returned to the real world as the pair started dating. They were together for 18 months but faced a few bumps in the road, including rumours she spent the night with Michael Griffiths and claims he was texting someone else.

Rebecca confirmed that she and Biggs had split during an Instagram Q&A in August 2021 after fans noticed that they hadn't been spotted together in a while.

What happened to Rebecca Gormley on Cheat: Unfinished Business?

Rebecca arrived at the retreat with her ex Biggs, who confessed to cheating on her during their relationship. Unsurprisingly, Rebecca chose not to rekindle things with Biggs and she got to know another cast member, Craig, instead. Rebecca and Craig continued seeing each other after the show, but it turned out he was still seeing his ex, Jazz, too. During the final reckoning, it came to light that Craig had been sleeping with both women without either of them knowing about it.
