Tommy Fury and Lucie Donlan
When Tommy arrived as a bombshell with Curtis, he immediately set his sights on Lucie, who was coupled up with Joe in the first episode. He said in the Beach Hut, "At the moment the girl I want to pursue is going to be Lucie. She's a surfer, she goes to the gym. Her body is banging. She has beautiful eyes, a beautiful face, beautiful everything."
Curtis Pritchard and Amy Hart
Curtis chose to couple up with Amy, who had previously been coupled up with Anton. She told the Beach Hut, "I don't feel like I have to force anything with Curtis because it's all so easy so I'm hoping that he picks me. But he was just talking to Yewande again. So, I don't know."

This meant that poor Joe and Anton were left on their own. Hearts across the country broke for Joe when Lucie chose to be with Tommy - his little face dropped!

Anna and Sherif chose to stay together, and even shared a bed! Sherif told the Beach Hut, "Last night was nice. I feel like me and Anna are on the same page. We're going at the same pace. She's a lovely girl all round. So, I'm chuffed. I'm really happy with the choice I made. The subs-bench worked out for me!"
However, Anna later said, "Sherif's like my human hot water bottle. It was nice. He's really good at the snuggles." Nice, but not hugely romantic...
Yewande Biala and Michael Griffiths
Yewande and Michael stayed together, even though her head had been turned by Curtis. She told the Beach Hut, "I think I do fancy him. He has amazing eyes and he is really nice."
Lucie Donlan and Joe Garratt
Lucie had previously described her ideal man as, "Blonde! Longish hair… just hair, a lot of hair. Like me!" It then came as no surprise that she ditched former partner Michael Griffiths for wispy haired Joe.
Amy Hart and Anton Danyluk
Amy and Anton seemed to hit it off straight away, with Anton clinging onto the former air hostess throughout out the whole coupling up process. After admitting his own mum shaves him bum, he was soon suggesting that Amy would shortly be doing the same.
The adoration seemed short lived, however, with Anton shortly wiggling his way into Lucie and Joe's blossoming romance.
Amber Gill and Callum Macleod
Despite looking quite happy together when they coupled up, things aren't looking great for our next couple, Amber and Callum. After ditching fellow islander Sherif Lanre for Callum, Amber went onto brand her new beau as being, and looking, "old". Ouch.
Anna Vakili and Sherif Lanre
After Amber dropped Sherif for Callum, he was quickly coupled up with other remaining singleton Anna Vakili. But it seems this may have been a match made in heaven, with Sherif shortly after admitting to the brunette babe that he already follows her on Instagram!
Yewande Biala and Michael Griffiths
So after poor Michael was dropped by Lucie, he was soon paired up with the lovely scientist Yewande. Later chilling by the pool, the two soon conjured up some chemical reactions of their own when Michael revealed he has a degree in bio-medical science. After revealing, "I'm a scientist. A biologist. I studied a bio-technology degree", Michael responded, "That's quite interesting because I did bio medical science at uni." Ooo!
