But Samie admitted that she didn’t have an instant connection with the Welsh lad on either occasions.

Samie said on Olivia’s House podcast: “We [me and Ciaran] met once at a boxing match really quickly, it was literally hi and bye, he was actually with his girlfriend at the time.

“And then we met at the NTAs, but then again it was me, him and another guy – and that guy was very chatty and loud, so I just kind of, chatted to him and didn’t think much about it.”

Ciaran and Nicole met on series 11 in 2024 but they split in December that year.

During his most recent stint on the show, Ciaran coupled up with Samie, 26, and it seems he could well have found love again.

Ciaran told the Daily Mail: “About 90 per cent of the islanders on the All Stars had stomach problems, I don’t know whether it’s just being in a different country so far away in South Africa that perhaps our bodies weren’t used to the food, the drinks or anything.

“I’m not sure what it was, but a lot of people had an upset stomach.”

He added: “I know that from previous years in South Africa, like that was the case in their series as well.”

Fan favourite Islander told viewers back in 2024 of the “tragic” food poisoning outbreak that left her co-stars “bed bound” and fighting over the notoriously scarce villa bathrooms.
