Author: Alex RossPublished 22nd Jan 2021

Now that applications for the 2021 series of Love Island are open, excitement is building for the show's return in the Summer, but first, ITV entertained viewers with a brand new dating show called The Cabins.

The show, which was pre-recorded in the British countryside in 2020, hit our TV screens on Monday 4th January, and after three successful weeks, ended on Friday 22nd January. But as The Cabins Reunion: Out of the Woods airs on Sunday 24th, here's a look back at all of the singletons who appeared on series 1.

Abraham

Age: 21
Occupation: Architecture student
From: East London


Why he's on the show: "It's a once in a lifetime experience. What I'm specifically looking for is a partner or a best friend that could lead into that. That department of my life has been extremely unfortunate. It would be nice to just relax and have someone to be my partner, my best friend, my girlfriend at the same time. I've seen it happen to a lot of my friends, I don't know when it's going to happen to me."

Holly

Age: 23
Occupation: Cabin crew/influencer/make up artist
From: Staffordshire
Why she's on the show: "My love life is an absolute shambles basically. I don't have any luck with lads. I'm nice… I just can't explain it. I thought I'd try dating websites. I was so against them until a few months ago. Went on them and lasted a day."

Charlotte

Age: 29
Occupation: Operations manager for a coffee shop
From: Stafford
Why she's on the show: "I've been single for about a year. Having no luck meeting anybody on dating apps. I just thought, I want to meet somebody who doesn't know anything about me. Has no preconceived ideas, doesn't know what to expect."

Mamudo

Age: 23
Occupation: Footballer/Football Coach
From: Liverpool
Why he's on the show: "I've signed up because it'll be a great opportunity to meet my match in a more natural way; build up a better connection, without people being around, without the distractions you face on the outside world."

Sarah

Age: 26


Occupation: Waitress/actress/personal trainer/model
From: Blackpool
Why she's on the show: "I've dated men, but not a lot. Primarily I'm women, but if I fall for a guy I'll give them a chance. I do classify myself as a lesbian."

Will

Age: 28
Occupation: Family run electrical company
From: London
Why he's on the show: "I've been single for three years. I was in a five year relationship before that, she's really the only girlfriend I've had. She wanted to move on, have kids, and I didn't want to settle down. The first two years of me being single I probably was a bit of a bad boy."

Sofia

Age: 21
Occupation: Miss Diamond UK/tattoo apprentice/model
From: Kent
Why she's on the show: "My love life is absolutely tragic. I've been on lots of dates but they all end terribly. I thought, what better way to get to know a person than being stuck with them for 24 hours? I thought it was a really good idea and I really like the ethos of the show."

Robyn

Age: 26
Occupation: Sales executive
From: Doncaster
Why she's on the show: "I've been single for four years. I've enjoyed the single life, but now I'm ready to find someone. It would be so exciting if I found someone on The Cabins."

Tom

Age: 26
Occupation: National business development manager
From: Leeds
Why he's on the show: "Unfortunately, I've not had much luck in the past. I've had 4 or 5 relationships. The first one lasted 4 years, we had a house and everything. She was ready to settle down and have kids, but I was 21/22 and it was a bit too soon for me. After that every year I had a relationship that lasted 10 months to a year, but something would pop up and we'd end up parting ways. So I thought I might as well give something else a try as I'm not doing very well."

Jess

Age: 24
Occupation: Local pub/Bingo Hall worker
From: Newport
Why she's on the show: "I've been single for almost two years. I've had a brilliant time. I'm so used to being in a relationship, it was important for me to have that time to figure out who I am. I'm really comfortable with myself and the way my life's going. I just want someone to share my crazy lifestyle with."

Joel

Age: 22
Occupation: Bin man

Why he's on the show: "Basically struggling to find someone in Swansea. I always say to my mum, I want to find someone outside of Swansea."

Terelle

Age: 25
Occupation: Software Developer
From: London
Why he's on the show: "I was totally not serious about dating. I've been on online dating apps. It's hard to make a connection as you don't really know their true intention. Do they just want friends with benefits, a serious thing… this you get 24-hours to really try and get to know someone.. 24-hours you'll know if that person is a match for you."

Rhys

Age: 28
Occupation: Hairdresser
From: Cheltenham
Why he's on the show: "I took the last two years out to focus on me. I am ready to meet someone now. I'm not expecting to meet someone I'll spend the rest of my life with, but I hope it makes me enjoy dating again.

Corben

Curtis

Why he's on the show: "It's a unique environment to meet someone. I'm bored of the apps and I'm looking for someone to get on with really well and do cool things with, adventures, cool dates, fun activities. Like a best bud."

Daisy

Age: 22
From: Wolverhampton
Why she's on the show: "I did it on a whim actually. I was watching The Office for the first time – Jim and Pam. They're love, man! That's what The Cabins can find me, a love like Jim & Pam."

Remi

Age: 28
Occupation: Mechanical Engineer

Eden

Age: 21
Occupation: Professional dancer and teacher
From: Buckinghamshire
Why she's on the show: "I've signed up for a different dating experience. I've been single now for six months. I've tried the dating apps. Definitely had too many dates with people I work with. I'm looking to meet someone different to my usual type and finding a genuine connection."

Jordan

Age: 21
Occupation: Social media and marketing
From: Epson
Why he's on the show: "I'm doing my first date on TV. It's the first real chance I've had of dating someone. I didn't really do clubbing. A lot of the people I know from social media are either work related or friends. So it's the first opportunity I've had to date really."

Yani

Age: 26
Occupation: Card machine merchant
From: Suffolk


Why he's on the show: "It's something different. I'd like to meet someone down to earth, a bit like myself and just try in a new way rather than online. I'm looking for someone funny, confident, here for a good time."

Lovissa

Age: 24
Occupation: Barrista/Studying to be a Chiropractor

Ryan

Age: 30
Occupation: Model
From: Winchester


Why he's on the show: "I love the concept of spending 24 hours with someone, not knowing who that person is and then getting surprised with someone that you either love or hate. I've done online dating before. With the apps, you've
already got to know someone, you've got to know them through the pictures, this eliminates all of that. This is diving into the mystery of the unknown."

April

Age: 31
Occupation: Bridal wear designer/First Ms GB in 2020
From: London


Why she's on the show: "I do such a terrible job of dating. I can't find anyone suitable for myself, so I thought I'd leave it to some professionals to see if they can have a go."

Nina

Age: 27
Occupation: Singer/Massage therapist
From: London


Why she's on the show: "I've been single for two and a half years and I think it's about time I put myself out there a bit. See if there's hope of love."

Adebayo

Age: 26
Occupation: Recruitment Consultant
From: Basildon


Why he's on the show: "Ultimately I'm looking to find love and find someone amazing and give me amazing memories for the rest of my life."

Andras

Age: 22
Occupation: Costume supervisor
From: London


Why he's on the show: "I came to have fun, to maybe meet someone, hopefully meet someone and just seize this ridiculous opportunity that someone has given me."

Liam E

Age: 20
Occupation: Build A Bear/Student
From: Somerset


Why he's on the show: "I signed up to The Cabins for an experience as well as getting a better understanding of dating – I don't date a lot. The intent is to find someone that I'm really interested in. I want a connection. I'm looking for someone who is fun, outgoing, someone that's like me, but hotter.

Craig

Age: 27
Occupation: Delivery driver for a supermarket
From: Bromley


Why he's on the show: "I've got to a point in my life, now is the time to meet
that perfect someone. If you're not dating to get married, you're dating to split up, so let's hope this person is serious."

Mae

Age: 25
Occupation: Recruitment consultant
From: Nottingham


Why she's on the show: "I think it'll be a fun experience and something I'll be
quite suited to. I don't get on with the whole online dating thing. You get that miscommunication. In The Cabins, where everything's face to face, you can really get to know someone. I'd prefer to go back to basics and have no technology involved. I'm looking for love. The One."

Loryn

Age: 26
Occupation: Make-up artist
From: Blackpool


Why she's on the show: "Where I live in Blackpool there's literally like no young people. All my hobbies are girl orientated, my job, I do netball.. there's no way to meet new guys. Especiallu the guy I want to settle down with. I'm looking to do this to find my partner in crime."

Speaking about the brand new show, ITV have previously said, 'Singletons are ditching the dating apps, giving up the ghosting and casting off the catfishers in favour of spending 24-hours getting to know each other in an intimate log cabin.

'Nestled in the UK, each sumptuous cabin boasts a hot tub, games, romantic outdoor seating and fully equipped kitchens to rustle up date-worthy treats. After 24-hours together the couples must decide if they are lovestruck or lovelorn.'

As we wait for The Cabins reunion show to air at 9pm on Sunday 24th January, re-jog your memory about all of the couples who took part in series 1:

Charlotte and Sarah: Together

After spending the maximum duration in their cabin, Charlotte and Sarah left as an 'exclusive cabins couple', with the pair heading off to Sarah's hometown of Blackpool.


Despite Sarah's worries about Charlotte's lifestyle fitting in with her own, the pair's connection was clear to see by viewers, leaving them over the moon when they left together looking VERY happy.


During the reunion show, the loved-up pair confirmed they are now an official couple, with both even saying 'the L word' to each other! Oh, and they've got matching tattoos!


Since then, the pair are still together and have even talked about starting a family together through IVF.

Tom and Olivia: Split

When 26-year-old Tom and 22-year-old Olivia first set eyes on each other it looked like love at first sight, with the pair sharing a bed from night one.


Despite Olivia admitting she wasn't used to Tom's affectionate ways, the pair decided to end their stay at the cabins after three nights, leaving the show as an 'exclusive cabins couple'.


However, as documented during the reunion show, things went a bit South for these two in the real world. Tom labelled their relationship as "100% a holiday romance", with Olivia admitted the bubble popped as soon as they left the cabin.

Mamudo and Robyn: Split

Despite keeping it a secret that he's a professional footballer, Mamudo used his charm to win over 26-year-old Robyn during their first day in the cabin, rocking up with a lovely bunch of flowers.


And it certainly didn't take long for these two to get comfortable with each other, with the pair sharing a bed, getting a bit steamy in the hot tub, and even speaking about their toilet habits.


However, after extending their stay for another night, it looked like 23-year-old Mamudo might be a little of sick of Robyn's self-confessed laziness, and then he found himself in the bad books for not taking the body pairing task serious.


After making the decision to spend one final night together, Mamudo showed his romantic side to Robyn, with a walk in the woods followed by a romantic night which involved candles, rose petals and a massage! The pair decided they would like to get to know each other more on the outside world, leaving the show as an 'exclusive cabins couple'.


We had high hopes for these two, but on the reunion show Robyn and Mamudo confirmed they are no longer together, with Robyn revealing she found Mamudo 'different' in the real world.

April and Ryan: Split

Ms Great Britain April was clearly over the moon to be spending time with model Ryan, even admitting to her friend she's a little overwhelmed by his charming good looks.


On day one, 31-year-old April and 30-year-old Ryan enjoyed a number of chats in an attempt to get to know each other, with the pair sleeping in the same bed.


After deciding to stay another day, April and Ryan were invited to have a nice meal at the exclusive Cabins restaurant, where they chatted more about their feelings towards each other.


The pair decided to stay another night whilst admitting they need to be more affectionate with each other, before celebrating with their first kiss!


The next day, April and Ryan certainly got more affectionate, enjoying a number of kisses and hugs throughout the day.


When decision time arrived, the pair got deep with each other and admitted they'd love to start a new chapter on the outside world, leaving as an 'exclusive cabins couple'.


On the reunion show, model couple April and Ryan confirmed they were still together, however have now split. And it seems like as of August 2022, April was ready to move on as she appeared on Married At First Sight UK, marrying dad-of-four George.

Alex and Nathan: Split

22-year-old Alex and Nathan seemed to get along very well during their first night in the cabin, enjoying some pretty deep chats and getting to know each other.


After drinks in the hot tub and some mud masks, the pair slept apart on night one, but both decided to spend another 24 hours together, admitting they do fancy each other.
The next day, despite Nathan having doubts to his pal on the phone, the pair enjoyed a steamy snog in the hot tub - and later in the evening, Alex even allowed him to sleep in the bed instead of the sofa.


Alex and Nathan decided to leave the cabin as an 'exclusive cabins couple', admitting they'd like to spend more time with each other in the real world.


On the reunion show, viewers were delighted to learn that Alex and Nathan are still together, with the pair admitting they've been on a number of dates and talk non-stop!


However, one year on, it looks like they've now split, with no sign of each other together.

Will and Holly: Friends

Self-confessed 'bad boy' Will and Cabin Crew worker Holly entered their cabin during the episode on Friday 8th January.


After a lot of flirting by both Will and Holly, the pair shared a bed after getting to know each other in the hot tub, and later chose to extend their stay for another night!


Day two was certainly entertaining for viewers, if not for Will and Holly! After Will decided to cook Holly a three-course meal (in the microwave) he somehow got away with telling her he'd actually cooked it from scratch.


Despite Holly saying she was 'too hot' in bed to prevent Will from spooning her, the pair chose to spend another night in the cabin in an attempt to see if anything romantic progresses between the two.


However, sadly there was no romantic spark between these two, with the pair leaving alone as just friends.


On the reunion show, Will and Holly confirmed they are 'friends for life', with Will revealing they speak everyday. Despite Holly admitting she 'loves him' as a mate, both confirmed they want to go out and party together.

Curtis and Daisy: Split

22-year-old Curtis and Daisy hands down had one of the best entrances into the cabin we've witnessed so far, when Daisy dressed up as a giant teddy bear to scare Curtis on his arrival.


From that moment on, the pair clearly had a bit of a spark, enjoying the hot tub together and later playing a game of 'Never Have I Ever'. After sharing a bed and a few little cuddles, the pair decided to spend another night.


The next day, although a few awkward comments from Curtis, which Daisy labelled 'vulgar', the pair decided they should get to know each other more in the real world, and not in the 'honeymoon stage' inside the cabins.


The pair left as an exclusive cabins couple, with Daisy suggesting they should go on holiday to Norway.


However, during the reunion show, Curtis and Daisy confirmed they are no longer speaking, with Curtis saying Daisy left his Christmas Day message on 'read'. OUCH!

Andras and Liam E: Friends

The lovely Andras and Liam didn't waste any time in getting to know each other, with Andras quickly admitting this was his first ever date.


After enjoying a meal cooked by Liam, the pair slept in the same bed on night one, before making a decision about their future the next morning.


Despite Liam admitting he sees Andras on more of a friendship level, he was open to staying another night to see if anything materialised.


The next day, the pair got to know each other more and despite Liam suggesting he 'doesn't get butterflies' and sees the pair more as 'friends', both boys seemed excited to spend a final 24 hours together, before leaving the following night.


On the reunion show, viewers were over the moon to learn Andras and Liam are still in touch, with the boys confirming they are seeing where their relationship goes. Despite having 'no labels', Liam admitted things are very positive and the boys are excited to see what the future holds.

Abraham and Sofia: Split

Things certainly started well for 21-year-olds Abraham and Sofia in episode one, but it was quickly made apparent to viewers that they weren't meant to be.


After THAT awkward moment where Abraham stopped Sofia's emotional speech to let out wind, the pair decided to leave the cabins alone.

Rhys and Corben: Friends

28-year-old Rhys and 27-year-old Corben first entered their cabin on Tuesday 12th January, with the pair getting off to a good start.


However, after Corben consumed a little too much alcohol, he was later sick all of the bed, resulting in Rhys having to sleep on the sofa. Waking up with regret in the middle of the night, Corben made his way downstairs to apologise to Rhys, who didn't look too impressed.


After discussing their different lifestyles and views on various topics the next morning, much to the surprise of viewers, the boys chose to stay another night.


Following a day of chats, drawings and getting to know each other more, the boys had a big decision to make. Despite Corben admitting he would like to stay another night, Rhys revealed he sees their relationship more on a 'friendship' basis, resulting in the pair leaving their cabin alone.


The pair both appeared on the reunion show admitting they now have an 'incredible friendship', but despite viewers wanting more, it looks like there is no romance between these two.

Joel and Jess: Split

Day one seemed to get off to a great start for 22-year-old bin man Joel and 24-year-old Jess! After impressing Jess with his burgers (even if they weren't burnt), the pair decided to spend another night, with Jess even meeting Joel's brother via FaceTime.


However, things took a VERY awkward turn on day two. Clearly realising they weren't sexually attracted, the pair tried to avoid each other in the cabin, before Joel packed his bags and left without saying bye to Jess.


We have high hopes for these two!

Terelle and Amani: Friends

Terelle and Amani first entered their cabin during Monday 11th January's episode and things got off to a slightly awkward start.


After admitting she wasn't comfortable with sharing a bed on night one, Amani tried to hint that Terelle should sleep on the sofa bed downstairs, but after not picking up on her hints, it was Amani that found herself downstairs for the evening.


Despite the slight awkwardness on day one, the pair seemed a little more chill with each other the next morning and decided to extend their stay for another night.


But things seemed to be even more awkward on day two when the pair cooked separate meals, and ate them at different areas in the cabins.


However, after Amani decided to sleep in the same bed on night two, the pair had a heart to heart but come to the conclusion they will be nothing more than friends. The morning after, the pair left the cabin separately.


Despite things being incredibly awkward during their time in the cabin, on the reunion show, Terelle and Amani revealed they have got on a lot better in the outside world, with Amani admitting she sees Terelle like a brother.

Loryn and Clint: Split

Clint's second stint on The Cabins arrived during the final episode of the series on Friday 22nd January, and it looked like he'd found something special with Loryn.


After immediately hitting it off, the pair enjoyed some kisses and cuddles in bed, before leaving as an 'exclusive cabins couple' after just 24 hours.


Although we had high hopes for these two, during the reunion show, the pair confirmed they are now over, with Loryn admitting she's back on Tinder.

Remi and Charlotte: Split

26-year-old model Charlotte and 28-year-old engineer Remi got off to a lovely start when they joined the show during Wednesday (13th January) episode!


After Charlotte showed off her crystals, the pair enjoyed a dip in the not so hot-tub, before getting cosy in the bath. And their solid relationship continues into the next day, with Remi dishing out compliments to Charlotte.


The pair decided to stay another night to get to know each other more, but after some deep chats in the hot tub, a tearful Charlotte realised she's not ready for another relationship just yet, admitting she's content on her own.


After a tearful chat, the pair decided to leave the cabins alone.

Jordan and Eden: Split

21-year-old Jordan has never had a girlfriend before, so his first date was literally on TV with Eden, but that didn't stop things getting off to a good start!


The pair enjoyed some bubbles in the hot tub and sent a cute selfie to Jordan's mum, who was eager to know how his first date was going.


Jordan showed he was a true gent he next morning, taking breakfast in bed to Eden. Later that day, the pair agreed to spend another 24 hours to get to know each other.


Day two didn't get off to the best start for Jordan, after Eden advised she would like him to take the lead more, the 21-year-old set up a romantic massage for his date, to which she dismissed saying it's 'not her thing'.


After a pep-talk from his mum, Jordan pulled things back by making a fort in the cabin, with the pair opening some fizz and enjoying a dance.


Despite the pair writing letters for each other, where Jordan admitted he can't wait to see Eden again, she wasn't so keen, resulting in the pair leaving the cabin single.

Nina and Ade: Split

Nina and Ade got off to a good start when they first entered their cabin on Wednesday 21st January's episode, getting to know each other and even doing a bit of karaoke!


With Ade telling his friend on the phone he really would like to kiss his date, the pair decided to stay another 24 hours to get to know each other.


Ade got his wish the next day, with the pair enjoying a number of kisses and having fun in the hot tub whilst getting to know each other more.


Nina and Ade decided to leave the show as an 'exclusive cabins couple'.


However, on the reunion show, Nina confirmed the pair are no longer together, with Ade admitting he realised he didn't want anything too serious just yet.

Stuart and Ashleigh: Split

Land owner Stuart and Meghan Markle lookalike Ashleigh enjoyed their first day together, with the pair sharing a bed and enjoying some kisses and cuddles on night one.


Unsurprisingly, these two both agreed to extend their stay for another night and enjoyed some deep chats about marriage around the camp fire on night two.


However, after Ashleigh voiced her concerns about whether the pair have more of a friendship, the couple decided to stay one more night to see if that spark was really there.


On their final day, despite having a great day and a lot of fun, Ashleigh revealed she thinks the pair are better off as really good friends, much to Stuart's disappointment.


During their final chat, Stuart admitted he felt a little 'led on' by Ashleigh's behaviour, and asked if she thinks she's not allowed herself to develop feelings.


Despite having high hopes for these two, the pair left alone.

Yani and Lovissa: Split

Things got off to a rapid start for Finish model Lovissa and Suffolk chap Yani when they first entered the cabins on Monday 18th January.


After stripping off to their costumes for a dip in the hot tub, the pair enjoyed a steamy kiss before things started to turn a little awkward.


With Lovissa quickly realising she had nothing in common with Yani, the pair chose to leave the cabins alone, despite Yani admitting he would have liked to stay one more night.

Katrina and Clint: Split

26-year-old Katrina was a little wary after discovering Clint was only 24, admitting she's never dated anybody younger than her before.


Despite this, the pair seemed to be getting along OK, with Clint even trying his best to cook for Katrina. But the model consultant later spoke to her friend and admitted she finds him more of a 'boy than a man'.


Although Clint was up for another night in the cabin, Katrina said she can't see anything developing romantically, with the pair leaving alone.

Mae and Craig: Split

Mae and Craig joined the show on the final episode of the series on Friday 22nd January, with things getting off to a very frosty start.


After telling Craig she doesn't think he has the same sense of humour as her, and admitting she doesn't like the version of herself when she's with him, unsurprisingly these two left single!

The Cabins Reunion: Out of the Woods airs at 9pm on Sunday 24th January.
