The programme dumped eight single people – four muscle-bulging blokes and four bikini-clad girls - in a sunny destination to help kick-start their love lives.

But the path of true love didn't run smoothly, and the group’s romantic liaisons were interrupted throughout the series by their exes.

Marco Alexandra had viewers ‘aww-ing’ at their TV screens in 2014 thanks to his sweet romance with Frankie Thrope.

He described himself as a "Greek god" at the time, appearing alongside Ashley Cain, Jack Lomax, Liam Lewis Chloe Goodman, Emily Gillard, Farah Sattaur and former Geordie Shore cast member Vicky Pattison.

But Marco and Frankie didn’t last, and now the 32-year-old from Sheffield has found everlasting love.

He proposed to stunning beauty salon owner Emma Nichols in January 2023.

Marco shared a stunning snap with Emma at the time, as she proudly flashed her diamond ring. He captioned it: "She said yes!"

Their followers rushed to congratulate them, with one writing: "About time!"

Marco and Emma waited two years to get married, previously revealing they wanted the wedding to take place in Portugal as they hunted for venues.

And the couple looked every bit the picture of love in new photos on Facebook after saying "I do".

Emma stunned in a dazzling white dress which she matched with floor-length veil, while Marco wore a crisp white dinner jacket over black trousers.

Hundreds of fans commented on their photos congratulating the newlyweds.

Since leaving reality TV behind, stylish Marco has been running his own fashion labels and is a property developer.

His most recent posts on social media show him promoting a property in Liverpool, and praising his partner on her beauty business venture.
