Chris, 26, and his Love Island co-star, Kem Cetinay, 23, cooked up a storm curing their time in the villa, winning over fans with their infamous bromance.
The contestants this year will be hoping to follow in the same light as the chart-topping islanders, with viewers of the ITV reality show backing Tommy Fury, 20, and Curtis Pritchard, 23, to strike up a bromance this series.
During their time in the villa, the contestants are believed to have no contact with the outside world, with the only glimmer of communication coming from their families later in the series as the final approaches.
Speaking of their time in the villa, Kem and Chris have confirmed the cast members are given very little knowledge on topics such as sports results or even current affairs during their time on the show.
They want to keep everything natural

Ahead of the fifth series, Chris spoke exclusively to Express.co.uk and revealed: “They want to keep everything natural. You don’t want the outside factors affecting what’s going on inside the villa.
“It’s a very intense environment,” the former islander added, with Kem saying: “I remember I used to ask for the football scores.
“They wouldn’t even tell me the football scores,” Kem continued, before going on to explain: “When your parents come in, they’re fully briefed not to tell you anything.
Although the boys have gone their separate ways from the girls they were coupled up with during their time in the villa, they both admitted they wouldn’t want to return as contestants on the show.
Asked if they think anyone from the past four series would make a comeback, Kem opined: “I think you should always keep it that year with the people and change it because it works that way.
“If you start to get other people involved from other series in the new series... it’s nice to have people very vulnerable to the experience.”
