Along with classics such as 'Rewind' and 'Seven Days' (requested by the Islanders) during the 35-minute set the singer/songwriter promoted his new track 'When You Know What Love Is'.
On the subject of his new song Craig states that the inspiration behind it was his favorite rom-coms! Those mentioned include 'Love Actually', 'Sliding Doors' and his personal favorite 'Serendipity'.
Other familiar faces mentioned surrounding the track include Fraser T Smith, who has previously collaborated with the likes of Adele and Stormzy, as well as Gary Barlow who was influential in the songwriting process. Craig was clearly impressed with Barlow's help describing him as, "a sick songwriter."
The Love Island Villa and his new song are not the only things on the star's plate, with the addition of his new puppy Maia his free time is occupied by fathering his new fur baby!
"It's a big responsibility", Craig admits however he states that the experience has been 'grounding' despite the difficulty of juggling performances with the responsibilities of being a dad to Maia.
Fleur East also challenged Craig's famous positivity with a game:
