Love Island winners announce engagement

Two Love Island winners have announced that they've got engaged.

Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan, both 25, were voted best couple on the ITV reality dating show in March 2023.

They first coupled up at Casa Amor - the notorious section of the show where boys and girls are split between two villas and tempted away from their current partner.

But they won't be recoupling now and, in true Love Islander fashion, the pair announced the news on Instagram.

Kai posted photos of the couple on a riverboat in Cambridge, taken on Saturday, that showed the happy moment.

"Introducing the next Mrs Fagan," he wrote.

"Beautiful, caring, loving and smart are just some of the words that describe you.

"I love loving you, I love you and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

Fellow islanders including Tasha Ghouri, Indiyah Polak and Toby Aromolaran were quick to offer their congratulations.

Sanam and Kai appeared on the winter version of Love Island, filmed in South Africa, and won the £50,000 cash prize last year with 44% of the public's votes.

They beat fellow couples Lana Jenkins and Ron Hall, and Samie Elishi and Tom Clare.

They were among the first Love Islanders to appear on the show after a new social media ban introduced by ITV as part of its duty of care policy.

Sanam posted on TikTok after the announcement saying she "honestly had no idea" Kai was planning to propose on Saturday.

"I am so chuffed and happy," she said.

"I feel like the luckiest girl alive."

Marking their one-year anniversary as a couple last month, Kai said it had been the best year of his life.

"Can't wait to see what the next 12 months is going to be like," he wrote on Instagram.

"Hopefully Sanam proposes and we have 6 kids... but time will tell..."
