Love Island bosses change application process after viewer backlash
The show was previously criticised for it's lack of diversity
Last updated 2nd Feb 2019
Despite Love Island's incredible success in 2018, the popular show was criticised by fans and participants for colourism and lack of diversity. This year, bosses have reportedly changed their application process in order to avoid this.
Speaking to OK! online, a source from within the Love Island camp has stated that this year's application form will read, “We endeavour to have a diverse range of contestants appearing on the programme.”
Although the summer show was a great success, the same cannot be said about some of our favourite couple's relationships, with only two couples remaining together from the 2018 series.
With recent news of Josh Denzel and Kaz Crossley's shock break-up, we are only left with winners Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer, and Adam Collard and Zara McDermott.
Check out which Love Island couples are still together:
Series Two: Nathan Massey and Cara de la Hoyde
Nathan Massey and Cara de la Hoyde are the only Love Island winners to have remained together.
Despite splitting for a number of months in 2017, the couple rekindled their romance when Cara discovered she was expecting the couple's first child.

The couple later welcomed a baby boy called Freddie in December 2016.
Sharing the happy news on social media, Nathan wrote, 'The day has finally come !!!! Myself and @cara_delahoyde have become parents to our beautiful baby boy !!! Massive hats off to Cara Who delivered our boy safely !!!!! #thenextchapter 💙👶🏼sic
In July 2018, Cara and Nathan announced they are now engaged with Nathan popping the question in the villa they first met.
Series Two: Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen
It took her a while, but Olivia Buckland finally found her man during Love Island season two.
After leaving the villa together when they finished in second place behind Cara and Nathan, the couple haven't looked back!

The couple married in a luxury ceremony in 2018, with parts of their wedding being shown on their very own TV show.
Series Three: Dom Lever and Jess Shears
Despite the public thinking their relationship was just a 'joke', Jess Shears and Dom Lever have defied the odds and are one of the two couples still together from their series.
Despite all of the drama with Jess and 'Muggy Mike', Dom proposed to his girlfriend in September 2016.

The couple have cashed in on promotional shoots together, appearances, and even got 'married' on Good Morning Britain on Valentine's Day.
Despite the 'fake wedding', Jess and Dom then tied the knot for real in 2018, when they married at a private ceremony on the Greek island of Mykonos. In October 2019, they welcomed a child together.
Series Three: Jamie Jewitt and Camilla Thurlow
The nation fell in love with Prince Harry's ex-girlfriend Camilla Thurlow in 2017. And, after she had her heart broken by a number of different men in the villa, model Jamie Jewitt arrived and swept Camilla off her feet.
After enjoying time together outside of the show and meeting each other's families, the couple are living happily ever after.

Series Four: Tommy Fury and Molly May Hague
The king and queen of Love Island 2019 are still loved up. While Molly Mae is living it up as a brand ambassador for PrettyLittleThing, Tommy's days are filled with training as well as being a brand ambassador for Boohoo Man.
Following on from recent news of Wes Nelson and Megan Barton-Hanson's split, Kaz took to Instagram yesterday to announce that her and Josh were also no longer together, in a rather emotional post.
Captioning the photo, she wrote, 'Sometimes things don’t go the way you planned, but you have to be grateful for the journey. Thank you for everything especially showing me how to love myself again ❤️.' sic
