We’ve all been suffering from ‘Love Island’ withdrawal for the last five long months, but bosses gifted us the perfect early Christmas present on Monday night in the form of a festive reunion.
The special episode brought together some of the most memorable contestants from this year’s series, and for those glorious 90 minutes, it was like we had been transported back to the summer.
There were Brexit blunders, blazing rows and screams of “I’m loyal, babes”, as the gang spent a long weekend in a country retreat.
Here’s our favourite moments...
1. Even meeting Nigel Farage hadn’t brought Hayley up to date on Brexit affairs
2. Sam’s eyebrows had a reunion of their very own
3. Samira brought her A-game facial expressions
4. As well as channelling her inner Ariana when chatting about her ex Frankie
5. Everyone was shook that Adam and Zara were still together given how much drama he caused on the show
6. The lengths Ellie went to in order to look good in front of her ex Charlie did not go unnoticed
7. We got to see the Do Bits Society’s AGM
8. And there was celebration as Dr Alex was finally made an official DBS member
9. Paul’s velvet trousers were, a choice
10. Georgia turned up and was, of course, an absolute nightmare
11. And as Sam and Georgia went head-to-head, everyone gathered at the door to listen like they were on an episode of ‘Friends’

12. Jack’s reactions were particularly priceless
13. Despite all the accusations levelled against her, Georgia was still using her favourite catchphrase
14. Ellie and Charlie’s row was equally explosive, and it seems many people were not buying his version of events
15. Then this happened, and everyone was just like ‘WTF?’
16. Cue a welcome return for Jack’s impeccable Eyal impression
17. As former couple Laura and Paul had a chat, she attempted to convince everyone she was totally cool with the situation, but not everyone was convinced
18. Jack and Dani were suitably hilarious as they cooked a Christmas dinner for the gang,
19. And while we know she probably hasn’t seen him for a few months, we weren’t expecting Hayley to forget who Dr Alex was, especially when she was just sat metres away from him
20. Caroline Flack then arrived to throw some serious shade at Charlie, buying him a snake in a can as a Christmas present
Where have you seen this year's 'Love Island' contestants before?

If you're a theatre-lover, the chances are you'll have seen Samira in London's West End at some point or another, performing in shows including 'Mamma Mia!' and, more recently, 'Dreamgirls'.
She also appeared in the live-action remake of Disney's 'Beauty And The Beast' last year. (credit:ITV)
Eyal Booker(02 of06)

For four years, Eyal was a member of the pop group EverYoung who - in his words - "had small-time success", "toured the country" and created "fan-girl hysteria".
Since the group split in 2015, Eyal now serves as a model, and you may have seen him and his curly locks in Zara Larsson's 'Lush Life' music video. (credit:ITV)
Dani Dyer(03 of06)

Arguably the most prolific of this year's 'Love Island' contestants, Dani is best known thanks to her famous dad, 'EastEnders' actor and descendant of Edward III, Danny Dyer.
Reality superfans may also remember her from her brief-but-memorable stint on the ill-fated 'Love Island' successor 'Survival Of The Fittest' earlier this year. (credit:ITV)
Kendall Rae-Knight(04 of06)

It's not uncommon for models to wind up staying in the 'Love Island' villa, but Kendall's career path is a rather non-traditional one.
Having previously landed the title of Miss North West in 2015, Kendall then made it to the final of Miss England that same year, but bowed out of the pageant world shortly afterwards. (credit:ITV)
Hayley Hughes(05 of06)

In her introductory interview, 21-year-old model Hayley reveals she's posed for a number of fashion brands, and even appeared in an ad for ITVBe.
A bit of digging from The Sun also revealed that she has a connection with a fair few former 'Love Island' stars, counting Scott Thomas and Chris Hughes among her friends. (credit:ITV)
Laura Anderson(06 of06)

Flight attendant Laura Anderson told 'Love Island' producers that her claim to fame is the celebs she's served over the course of her career, naming Channing Tatum as her most A-list.
However, she didn't disclose her past as a model for six years (which she does mention on her Bayt profile), while The Sun mentioned a past relationship with an undisclosed sports star and, curiously, the fact she used to go by the name Missy Love.
