We thought we'd missed out on the show this year, after the British series of Love Island was cancelled. But the clever people at ITV2 came up with something to make it all better with a repeat of Love Island: Australia season 1 instead, throwing back to a time when social distancing wouldn't stand in the way of romance.

A bevy of bronzed singletons entered the Love Island: Australia villa and sparks certainly flew - well at least for some (sorry Jaxon!)

Here's a full list of all the cast and bombshells, who kept us entertained this summer.

Teddy - DUMPED (Day 36)

And another thing: Teddy had his eye on Erin before entering the villa. Despite the fact that she was coupled up with Eden, he said "It's no competition" adding: "I think I'm definitely better looking - better body, better face, more charisma. Let's see if she needs a teddy to cuddle!" Let's hope Erin's interested, as we're not sure this Teddy will be able to bear it.

Dom - SEMI-FINALIST

Love Island Australia Cassidy

Age: 24

Erin - FINALIST

Love Island Australia Erin

Age: 23

Instagram: @erin.alysha

Millie - DUMPED (Day 38)

Love Island Australia Millie

Age: 24

Instagram: @millie1993

Job: Doggy daycare worker

She says: “I give the dogs cuddles and play tug of war with them - a dog is definitely easier to tame than a man. When girls are bitchy and backstabbing I’ll definitely pull them up on it. My best features are my butt and my banter. My fantasy man is a tradesman or a rugby player, someone in a manly job.”

And another thing: Millie says she finds it hard to make friends with other women. This bodes well...

Natasha - DUMPED (Day 15)

Love Island Australia Natasha

Age: 24

Instagram: @tashacherie

Job: Beauty salon owner

She says: "I get along really well with guys, I have lots of guy friends but lots of guys are friends with me for one reason. I’d rate myself an 8/9 out of 10. I’m looking for a guy who puts me on a pedestal and thinks that I’m number one. I’m pretty easy on the eye as you can see, I’ve had my boobs done. I think I’ve got a great personality."

And another thing: Natasha isn't looking for a fling, she wants real love. She's looking for a man with big muscles and a boat.

Tayla - FINALIST

Love Island Australia Tayla

Age: 21

Instagram: @tayla.damir

Job: Beauty queen

She says: "I have done Miss Universe twice now. I can be a bit high maintenance, so I need somebody to tell me to pull my head in. I am quite a flirty person so girls get a bit intimidated as I might be trying to steal their man. When I’m interested in a guy I show that by being a bit mean."

And another thing: Tayla is an amateur boxer. She wants to find a man who is going to take the time to get to know her properly. And preferably someone tall.

Boys

Charlie - DUMPED (Day 7)

Love Island Australia Charlie

Age: 22

Instagram: @charlietaylor

Job: International rugby player

He says: “My best feature is my body! I play rugby 7s for Australia and I’ve got lots of followers on Instagram, it’s pretty wicked. My perfect woman has a great smile and a good sense of humour and she’s not too demanding, I can’t handle people who are too demanding."

And another thing: Charlie is looking for a girl he can take home to his mum. Not sure if Love Island is the right place for that... His longest relationship lasted five months.

Eden - FINALIST

Love Island Australia Eden

Age: 25

Instagram: @dallyeden

Job: Prison officer

He says: "I’d give myself 10 out of 10, I’m funny, I’ve got muscles, I like a good time and I love a girl that likes good banter. I’m very confident and I’m not afraid to show it. I’m looking for a girl with good looks and a personality. I don’t mind a girl who has plastic boobs and takes pride in her appearance. Biggest turn off has to be if you have bad breath."

And another thing: Eden's got a bit of a bad boy reputation - hearts are going to break.

Grant - FINALIST

Love Island Australia Grant

Age: 22

Instagram: @grant_crapp

Job: Electrician

He says: "I’m a sparky, a lot of girls seem to love that, I’m cheeky too. What turns me off about a girl is when they’re yapping about their hair and make up, it drives me insane."

And another thing: Grant hasn't been in love since he was 16 years old. His nickname among his friends is Elvis, as he's a big fan of the singer.

Josh - FINALIST

Love Island Australia Josh

Age: 25

Instagram: @joshmoss

Job: Sports administrator

He says: “Five words to describe me? I’m funny, cheeky, naughty, sexy and spontaneous. My mouth has got me into a lot of trouble in the past, girls either want to kiss me or slap me, or sometimes both if they’re into it and I’ll roll with that, I don’t mind a bit of kinkiness.”

And another thing: Josh admits he has a wandering eye, but claims he can't be blamed because it's "genetic". He's also really into space travel.

Justin - DUMPED (Day 18)

Love Island Australia Justin

Age: 27

Instagram: @justinlacko

Job: Model

He says: "I’m an international male model, I live in New York City and I party with people like Katy Perry, I rub shoulders with all the celebrities. I’m pretty good with the ladies. My dream lady would be someone who understands me as much as I understand her, she should take a lot of pride in herself too. What turns me off? Long fingernails, I absolute hate them."

And another thing: Justin says he finds it difficult to hold down a relationship because of his job.
