33-year-old Bobby and 29-year-old Jasmine seemed one of the strongest couples during the opening episodes, with Bobby quickly proposing in the pods. After meeting in person, things seemed to carry on very nicely as they headed to Greece. When the pair returned home to live with each other, Jasmine admitted she was feeling a little insecure with how much Bobby was on his phone. After getting grilled by Jasmine's mum, and getting a 'word of warning', Bobby seemed to have restrictions, with him admitting there needs to be boundaries in Jasmine's relationship with her mum.
In episode nine, Jasmine tried on wedding dresses, admitting she wants Bobby to cry when he sees her walk down the aisle.

They are! One year on from getting married, Bobby and Jasmine looked more loved-up than ever at the reunion show, confirming they moved in together in London just days after their wedding. Jasmine admitted the pair are the best of friends and even confessed they are trying for a baby! In other good news, Jasmine's mum said Bobby now has her approval 110%!
Steven and Sabrina - SPLIT
It didn't take long for 37-year-old Steven and 35-year-old Sabrina to find a deep connection in the pods, with the pair becoming the first couple to close things off and get engaged. The pair jetted off to Corfu with the rest of the group in episode four and loved spending more time together on holiday.
Steven and Sabrina returned to London, where Sabrina met his family and friends, with Steven doing his best to persuade Sabrina to move to London permanently. They then took a trip to Sabrina's home town of Belfast, with Steven being introduced to her mum, sister and best friend, and Sabrina's mum didn't hold back with the questions. In episode nine, Sabrina tried on a wedding dress, admitting she's 100% ready to say "I do".

The pair endured a long-distance relationship after filming, with Sabrina admitting communication between the pair wasn't great, going on to accuse Steven of not putting the effort in.
Benaiah and Nicole - MARRIED
Despite Nicole choosing Sam over Benaiah in the pods, Nicole was quick to realise her mistake, calling off her engagement to Sam and asking for a chat with Benaiah. At the start of episode five, Nicole and Benaiah had an emotional chat, which resulted in Benaiah proposing to Nicole, with the pair later jetting off to Greece to join the rest of the group.
When the pair returned to the UK and met each other's family and friends, things seemed to go from good to excellent, until Sam made an appearance at a group party during episode eight, which led to a slight argument between Benaiah and Nicole. Benaiah later had a conversation with Sam, which ended in a huge argument, with Benaiah walking off.
In episode nine Nicole was introduced to Benaiah's mum and sister, and after apologising to them for hurting Benaiah in the pods, they seemed to get along very well. Nicole later tried on a wedding dress, where she admitted she can't wait to marry him.

Freddie and Catherine - SPLIT
Despite 29-year-old Catherine having a connection with both 33-year-old Ollie and 32-year-old Freddie, it was funeral director Freddie who stole her heart and popped the question. Although the pair flew out to Corfu together in episode four, when Freddie admitted he'd cheated in the past, Catherine had reservations.
It had looked like things were going well for the pair when they returned to the UK, meeting each other's family and friends, but Catherine seemingly annoyed Freddie in episode eight, when she flirted with Sam during a group gathering. Following a chat over dinner a few days later, Freddie brought up the fact he'd like to put a pre-nup in place if they got married, something which didn't go down well with Catherine. Freddie also expressed his concerns over the couple's lifestyle differences, but a chat with Catherine's mum and dad seemed to put him at ease.
In episode nine, Catherine tried on wedding dresses, admitting Freddie was a 'life changer' for her. Whilst trying on his suit, Freddie also revealed to his friends that he's in love with Catherine, with both looking forward to the big day.
Did Freddie and Catherine get married?
No! Despite saying their vows to each other and Catherine saying "I do", Freddie revealed at the altar he thinks the pair aren't ready to get married, going on to admit he does still love her and he hopes it's not a goodbye. Catherine later confessed she felt 'numb and unwanted', with Freddie breaking down to his sister about his actions.

Ollie and Demi - SPLIT
Ollie, 33, from London, enjoyed getting to know both 30-year-old Demi and 29-year-old Catherine in the pods, but it was Demi who pulled out all of the stops to help Ollie celebrate his birthday. Ollie chose to propose to Demi, with the pair smitten on first meet. Although they enjoyed their first few days together as a couple in Greece, things took a turn when Ollie met former flame Catherine, with him unable to tell Demi where his head was at.
However, things looked up when they returned to London, meeting each other's family and friends and enjoying spending time together. In episode nine, Demi tried on wedding dresses, where she gave an incredible speech about insecurities, making her mum and the rest of the girls cry in the process.
Did Ollie and Demi get married?
Despite making it to the altar, where Ollie thanked Demi for 'making him a better person' during his vows, it was Demi who said no to getting married. However, she did express she still loves Ollie and the time is just not right for the pair to get married, saying it's not the end of their journey. Fans will have to wait and see during the reunion show if they remained together as a couple, but by what they were both saying during episode 11, it sounds like they are happy to continue dating.

Despite fans having high hopes that these two would stay together, despite not getting married, they were sat apart during the reunion show, with Demi revealing she quickly realised that Ollie wasn't her guy. However, Ollie did reveal that he's been in contact with fellow contestant Sharlotte, with things seemingly going well between the pair in the early stages.
Tom and Maria - SPLIT
38-year-old Tom found strong connection with both 32-year-old Natasha and 30-year-old Maria during the pods, but it was Maria he chose to pursue something further with. The pair were delighted when they finally met in person, heading off to Corfu together as an engaged couple. Although they had a good time away, when the pair returned to London, they had a falling out over Tom's views of Maria's career.
Despite seemingly getting back on track after Tom met Maria's family, another spanner was thrown into the works when Tom came face-to-face with pod flame Tasha during a group outing in episode eight. Despite Maria saying she 'wasn't bothered' by the conversation, Tom was telling Tasha he wasn't '100%' on if the wedding would go ahead at the same time.
In episode nine, Maria tried on wedding dresses, whilst Tom bought his suit, with both confessing to their co-stars that they feel ready to get married.
Did Tom and Maria get married?
Despite saying their vows to each other during episode 10, Tom told Maria at the altar that although he loves her, he doesn't think the time is right to get married, walking away and leaving his heartbroken bride stood on her own. Maria later confessed she felt 'incredibly sad' and 'shocked'. Tom later admitted the pair didn't have enough time to address their differing views on certain things.
Are Tom and Maria still together?
