The former Islanders met up at the Menagerie bar and restaurant in Manchester, where they indulged in a celebratory tray of orange shots. As well as the easing of lockdown restrictions, they were also celebrating Casa Amor star Natalia’s 21st birthday, with former love rival Demi dubbing her an ‘absolute worldie’.

Paige and Finn, who recently moved to Manchester after spending most of lockdown in Scotland with Paige’s family, took a booth on their own for some one-to-one time before joining the rest of their former Love Island castmates.
