Now, almost a decade later, he looks worlds away from the fresh-faced contestant who entered the villa and first won over viewers.
Have you guessed who it is yet?
That’s right, it’s James Khan, who made waves on the reality show back in 2016.
James entered the villa on Day 18 and was dumped from the island on Day 20.
Known for his playful demeanour and confidence, James made a brief but memorable impact on the show.
Entering alongside eventual runner-up Alex Bowen, the star lasted just 2 days when he appeared on Love Island and famously enjoyed a date with Kady McDermott.
He made a connection with Kady, but she chose to couple up with Scott Thomas, leading to his early exit.
James admitted he knew she wasn’t going to pick him over Scott, as she had known him for two weeks.
But he thinks if he’d had an extra day in the villa, he could have swayed her decision.
Fans were stunned to see his recent snaps, showing a very different look from his Love Island days.
After his time on Love Island, James dedicated himself to bodybuilding, starting his training at the age of 12.
He has since become a personal trainer and fitness enthusiast who regularly shares his progress on social media.
Over the years, James has undergone a significant physical transformation, showcasing his dedication to fitness and bodybuilding.
His recent photos highlight his muscular physique and commitment to a healthy lifestyle.
Love Island winners – where they are now
EVERY year Love Island opens its doors to more sexy Islanders who are hoping for a holiday romance that could turn into more.
He now has an insane physique, competing in Bodybuilding competitions and offering online coaching sessions.
His Instagram page is full of gym videos of him training at the gym.
James has amassed a significant following, where he posts fitness content and shares insights into his lifestyle.
He engages with his followers through social media, offering fitness tips and motivational content.
Fans are blown away by the star’s transformation as they flood the comment section with praise.
One wrote: “Different athlete.”
Another said: “Hardest in the game let’s go.”
A third penned: “Bringing that A game!”
A fourth added: “Try and stop this man.”
He may not have found love in the villa, but James has since then got a girlfriend whom he sometimes posts on Instagram.
There are reels with travel blogger girlfriend Siana Louise, where they have travelled the world together, visiting places such as America, Vietnam, Thailand, Bali, Egypt and Greece.
The loved-up couple often post vlogs of them visiting new places, restaurants and popular tourist spots.
All seasons of Love Island are available to watch on ITVX.
