Fans fell in love with them on Love Island over the summer for their joint love of rap music, and now Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay have hit Number 1 on the iTunes chart with their debut single 'Little Bit Leave It'.

The boys started writing the grime track during their time in the villa and since they've been out they have been working with top producers to finish the track and even signed a record deal with Sony Music.

Chris and Kem's spin-off show, Chris and Kem: Straight Outta Love Island, debuted this week and documented the boys making their brand new track.

During the show they met with top producers such as ZDOT and were given advice from the likes of Professor Green, Stormzy and Yungen.

At the end of the two part show last night, viewers witnessed Sony offer the pair a record deal after they performed to a sell-out crowd at Ministry Of Sound and when the show finished, the boys announced 'Little Bit Leave It' was available to download.

Taking to Twitter, Chris wrote, 'When we bantered about 'Little Bit Leave It out October' in the villa.... Little did we know. Everyone you're all special love me and Kem.'

With Kem adding, 'WE DID IT!!! Your support has been truly amazing… Little Bit Leave It is OUT NOW!!!'.

As fans started to download the new track, the lovable duo had an eye on sales and later expressed their excitement when the track over took the likes of P!nk, Camila Cabello and Sam Smith to hit Number 1 on iTunes.

Kem wrote, 'Number #1 in 3 hours HOW HAS THIS HAPPENED! best moment in my life ever!! Support has been crazy💚'.

Fans were also quick to express their love for the new single...

And of course Amber Davies and Olivia Attwood also expressed how proud they are of their boyfriends.

Amber shared a photo of herself kissing Kem with the caption, 'Going to sleep on cloud nine 🙌🏽 absolutely beaming with pride 💕'.

This isn't the first time reality TV stars have managed to reach Number 1 on iTunes. Earlier this year TOWIE star Megan McKenna pursued her country music career and released her debut single 'High Heeled Shoes'.

After the success of Chris and Kem's TV show on ITV2, fans of the pair were left wanting more.
