They found love as the runners-up of last year’s Love Island. And Olivia Buckland, 23, and Alex Bowen, 24, looked to be going strong as they enjoyed a romantic stroll through Venice on Friday.

They got me good.’
Marcel was left stunned by the candid admissions
Jumping onto the bandwagon, last year’s winner Cara, 27, with Nathan Massey – who she has since split with – insisted that the test was ‘fabricated’. ‘It’s a fabricated test to provide entertainment,’ she posted. ‘Last year
