Love Island’s Amber Davies secured a prime time slot on Strictly Come Dancing last week when she agreed to replace Dani Dyer, who fractured her ankle in rehearsals.

Amber, who won the ITV reality dating show the year before Dani did, had just 24 hours of training with professional Nikita Kuzmin before being thrust on to live TV.

Despite her chaotic start, she could have a high chance of success given her experience as a West End performer – which includes lead roles in musicals including Pretty Woman, Dolly Parton show 9 to 5, and The Great Gatsby.

It follows just a year on from Amber’s appearance on the equally family-friendly series Dancing On Ice on which she finished fifth.

Amber, from Denbigh in Wales, first found fame at aged 20 when she took part on the third series of Love Island in 2017.

During her time in the villa, she struck up a romance with Kem Cetinay, who she went on to scoop the £50,000 cash prize with, before splitting four months later.

Most recently, she has been cast as Elle Woods in the 2026 UK tour of Legally Blonde. 

So, as Amber keeps busy with her stint on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing and her successful West End performances. What happened to her Love Island castmates? 

Olivia Attwood  

Thanks to a string of reality shows and big-budget documentaries, Olivia Attwood has become one of the hottest properties on British TV.

After leaving the show in third place with Chris Hughes she is now a regular Loose Women panellist, also joined the This Morning team as a summer host this year. 

She is currently the face of surgery-based series The Price Of Perfection and dating show Bad Boyfriends, and last week she jetted to Las Vegas to film series four of Getting Filthy Rich.

Already branded one of the most sought-after presenters on TV, Olivia admitted she thrives in the chaos that comes with her globe-trotting schedule, despite the large amount of time she spends away from home. 

Speaking to Daily Mail, the presenter, 34, said she has ‘had offers’ from bosses across the pond, and hopes that with the help of her new international fanbase, she could take her career global. 

She said: ‘Love Island is huge in America, the UK one so I feel really lucky there was already quite a large US audience on my Instagram, they are definitely happy to have the shows available, also in Australia as well.

‘I’m very happy with my career as it is right now. I mean I’ve had offers, I’m not looking to jump ship right now, but yes, at some point I’m sure we’ll do something over there.’ 

She added: ‘I’ve lived this way my whole adult life, in one way or another. Before when I was on Love Island, when I was modelling, when I was a grid girl, I used to go to two countries a week.

‘So I feel like I’ve never really been someone who is good at staying still. I definitely thrive in chaos and busyness, it just suits me. I like to keep the hustle going.’

Kem Cetinay 

Kem won Love Island with former girlfriend Amber Davies scooping the £50,000 cash prize.

The pair split four months after being crowned champions but have remained friends.

Following his popularity on the ITV2 show, Kem and former co-star Chris Hughes starred in spin off series Straight Outta Love Island and released single ‘Little Bit Leave It.’

He went on to work for ITV’s This Morning as their entertainment presenter and starred in 2018’s Dancing On Ice.

In July 2021, he opened Essex restaurant Array, which has proven a favourite among his reality TV friends and 2.6million fanbase.

However, Kem suffered a tragedy in 2022 when his car collided with a motorcyclist ‘who overtook and ended up on the wrong side of the road before the 60mph smash.’

Road crash victim Tommy Griggs died following a collision with the reality star’s £130,000 Mercedes G Wagon. 

Kem was said to have been left  ‘traumatised and shaken up’ after the fatal crash which happened in Romford, Essex. 

Paramedics fought to save the motorcyclist, but he tragically died in the accident. Photos from the scene of the collision show Kem’s smashed in G-Wagon behind police tape, and the damaged motorcycle lying on the pavement.

Witnesses said that the motorcyclist was overtaking cars while driving up Shepherds Hill in Romford as the TV star drove down.

An aide told MailOnline: ‘It has been tough for him. Kem is very sad that somebody lost their life in an accident with him.

‘He was driving to a bank and then to his restaurant when his Mercedes G wagon was involved in an accident with a motorcyclist. Kem has been staying with friends since it happened and is in a state of shock.’

His father Niyazi told MailOnline: ‘Kem is so upset and in shock by this. It is even more sad that we know now the motorcyclist had a baby daughter. It is so tragic.‘

Kem passed a breath test after stopping at the scene and has provided officers with a full statement.

A witness who saw the aftermath of the crash told MailOnline: ‘Kem was clearly upset and distraught by what happened. He was pacing up and down. He was on the phone and talking to two women at the side of the road. He seemed to be in shock.’

It happened more than 700 metres from Kem’s restaurant, Array, which he opened in July 2021.   

A source told MailOnline: ‘Kem is devastated about what’s happened. He’s a sensible driver; no one could have foreseen this tragic accident happening.

‘There has been no wrongdoing on Kem’s side, he’s not at fault, and is being treated by police as a witness. He’s still dealing with the shock alongside close friends and his family.’

A statement from the Metropolitan Police confirmed: ‘Police were called at 11:32hrs on Thursday, 4 August to reports of a collision at Shepherds Hill, Romford.

‘Police and London Ambulance Service [LAS] attended. At the scene a car had been in collision with a motorcycle.

‘Despite the efforts of medics, the male motorcyclist [no further details] was sadly pronounced dead at the scene at 12:04. Enquiries are underway to notify next of kin.

‘The driver of the car stopped at the scene and is assisting police with their enquiries. He was not arrested.’

A statement released by Kem’s representative said: ‘Kem was this morning involved in a road traffic accident close to his home in the Brentwood area at approximately 11.30am. 

‘Tragically, a motorcyclist died in the collision. Kem has been assisting the police and is being treated purely as a witness to the incident.

‘Kem will be making no further comment on this matter aside to offer his deepest condolences, prayers and sympathies to the motorcyclist’s family and friends.’ 

Camilla Thurlow 

Runner up Camilla previously confessed that a ‘lady never tells’ when asked about her previous relationship with Prince Harry during a truth or dare challenge on the show. 

But she later admitted that she’s happy that her fleeting romance with the royal didn’t work out after meeting hunky Calvin Klein model Jamie Jewitt on the ITV2 series. 

Speaking to The Sun, the bomb disposal expert admitted that she didn’t want her previous high-profile relationship from 2015 before she entered the show to get in the way of finding her true prince charming. 

She told the publication: ‘I didn’t want my past relationships in the spotlight to upset having a future with someone. I am very happy with Jamie right now. 

‘It is nice that something that has happened in the past is in the past – I’ve had an opportunity to show people the person I am.’

Upon learning of her former flame, dashing Jamie insisted that he wasn’t surprised that his current squeeze had turned the head of the charming royal.

‘As much as Prince Harry is an impressive human being, I am not going to be intimidated by him,’ he weighed in. ‘I wasn’t at all shocked to hear she dated Prince Harry – Camilla is a very classy lady. It is her past and everyone has a past.’

Camilla was initially unlucky-in-love during her stint on the ITV2 dating show, after her budding romance with Jonny Mitchell came to end as he began pursuing Tyla Carr.

However things turned around when she met Calvin Klein model, Jamie.

In February 2019, the couple moved into their own home after living at his parents’ house following their exit from the ITV2 dating show.

The following year, the pair announced they were expecting their first child together, and in October 2020 they welcomed a baby girl called Nell.

In February 2021, Jamie proposed to Camilla with their baby daughter wearing a personalised baby grow which read: ‘Mummy, will you marry my Daddy?’

The pair went on to marry in a romantic ceremony and announced the arrival of their second child, a daughter called Nora Belle Jewitt in 2022. 

Chris Hughes

Chris finished the series in third place with Olivia Attwood and went on to feature in their own reality show Crackin’ On before quickly splitting acrimoniously.

He briefly enjoyed a music career with Love Island co-star Kem Cetinay, with their song, Little Bit Leave It, peaking at number 15 in the UK Singles Chart in 2017.

Chris now covers horse racing for ITV and has presenting gigs with BBC Sport and regularly stars as a contributor on This Morning. 

But this year, he hit headlines for this relationship with JoJo Siwa who he met while in the Celebrity Big Brother house in April. 

Dance Moms star JoJo, 22, previously came out as pansexual and had a number of public same-sex romances, before falling for Chris, 32, and now identifies as queer.

After igniting much suspicion, JoJo finally confirmed in June that she and Chris are officially an item and that she’s started calling him her boyfriend.

When JoJo entered the ITV reality show, she was in a relationship with her now ex-partner Kath Ebb.

She later dumped them at the wrap party just hours after the finale episode aired. 

Since then, JoJo has been spending time with ‘soulmate’ Chris in both the US and UK, having recently met his family. 

The pair’s relationship has had the seal of approval from their families, with JoJo previously revealing her mum ‘adores’ Chris, while she was snapped having a cup of tea with his father Paul.

However, JoJo’s ex Kath later accused the pair’s relationship of being a publicity stunt.

Speaking to Betches about their breakup, Kath mused: ‘I feel a bit like I’ve been this pawn that’s been moved around in this story by Big Brother, by JoJo, by her PR team, by the tabloids.

‘And I feel really beaten around by that because it’s just not something I asked for. And I think at the end of the day, the boring headline is: I’m just heartbroken, and I’ve just gone through a really messy breakup that I didn’t see coming, and I’m in shock, and I’m picking up the pieces of my love life and of my life in that.’

Theo Campbell 

Theo has suffered a tumultuous time since leaving the villa after suffering an eye injury in Ibiza and being accused of ‘hitting’ a female holidaymaker in Dubai. 

In 2020, Theo launched legal action against an Ibiza beach resort after nearly going blind from a flying champagne cork.

The TV personality was partying at a champagne spray party at O Beach Ibiza, owned by Match of the Day host Gary Lineker’s brother Wayne, when one of the club’s official bottles popped in his direction in August 2019.

He suffered a penetrating cornea injury in his right eye, requiring 11 stitches after surgery in Ibiza and the UK, but continues to suffer severe sight issues. 

Theo said the incident significantly reduced his ability to work as he sought answers as to why his sight has never fully recovered.

Theo, regarded as one of Love Island’s most polarising characters, said at the time: ‘The last 15 months or so trying to come to terms with what has happened have been hard.

‘I’m a positive person and try and remain upbeat but as time goes on the chances of my sight getting back to normal become reduced.

‘I’m speaking with doctors about what may or may not be possible but I also have a number of questions about what happened to me.

‘I don’t know what the future may hold with regards to my sight but I feel that the least I deserve is answers to what happened and why.

‘Bringing this case was something that hasn’t been done lightly but I feel that at present it’s the best opportunity for me to get the answers I deserve.’

That same month Theo responded furiously to claims that he attempted to hit a female holidaymaker during a night out in Dubai. 

The star was subject to a series of Instagram videos taken by a woman who claimed that the he tried to hit her and that he ‘attacked her’ while seizing her phone on a night out, with footage of a scuffle. 

Taking to Instagram shortly after the claims were made, Theo spoke to the camera while in a bar and stated that he planned to make a retaliatory video, adding: ‘As if I’m wanna be f**king around with some stupid little, stupid girls, are you mad?’ 

In a series of Instagram Stories from make-up artist Tayce Rickett, taken at Dubai’s Five Palm Hotel, she wrote: ‘Theo Campbell tried to hit me tonight in Dubai because I caught him out. 29-year-old trying to hit young girls. F**king disgusting’.   

She then filmed him standing at a car door, and said: ‘This is Theo, just want to see if he gets out of here with the girl or not.’

She wrote over the top of the video: ‘After this he came over and took my phone off me and throw it on the floor and tried to fight both me and my younger sister. It’s f**king disgusting, how can a 29-year-old act like that.’ 

The girl filmed her friend and said: ‘I don’t care, I don’t f**king care’.

The video then appears to show the phone being grabbed, thrown on the floor and stamped on, before the owner shouted: ‘Who the f**k you pushing?’

In the next slide she wrote: ‘They both attacked me for no reason…’  

After the video emerged, Theo shared a clip with his 337k followers, in which he said: ‘F**king madness, I’m gonna make a little video in a bit. As if I’m wanna be f**king around with some stupid little, stupid girls, are you mad?…

‘I’m gonna make a video in a bit because I rarely do the tings they say but this time, I don’t talk, I don’t normally react to these things but EUGH. These b***hes man’.
