Summer 2017 feels like a distant memory and, quite frankly, we’ve forgotten what it feels like to be warm! However, there's certainly one thing we haven't forgotten about the summer, and that is Love Island.
Last June we were blessed with drama to last us a lifetime, but mainly because the stars on the show have been here, there and everywhere since.
Kem Cetinay’s currently appearing on Dancing On Ice, Olivia Attwood and Chris Hughes are about to star in their own show, and now, after conquering the worlds of rap and reality TV, Chris is writing a book.
He’s announced he’s releasing a book all about his life, with stories from his time on Love Island and the events that followed after the show.
The book’s called YOU BANTERING ME? and is due to be released in May this year.
Announcing the news on Instagram and Twitter, Chris wrote, 'Guys, I’m working on a book! It’s called YOU BANTERING ME? (obvs) and I’m packing it with loads of great stories from my childhood, from behind the scenes at Love Island, and from my life as current. You can pre-order it NOW (link in my bio) and it will be published on the 3rd May. Stay tuned... 💜.'
The Love Island star was very excited about his new book and said that said that anyone who knows him will know he is never short of something to say. He went on to say he wanted to share his story, as so much has happened in the past year.
Now take a look at all the Love Island 2017 couples and where they are now:
Kem and Amber - Love Island 2017 Winners
Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies (2017 Winners)
Kem and Amber stayed together for four months after they were crowned winners of the show, with Amber even moving in to Kem's family home in Essex.
The pair, however, recently split for good following a string of rows and bust-ups, and a clashing of 'hectic work schedules'. They released a statement saying: "we still have a lot of love for each other and will remain good friends." Emosh... looks like Kem wasn't Amber's type on paper after all.
