Love Island champion Sanam Harrinanan won over the hearts of the ITV2 dating show's viewers since coming in as a Casa Amor bombshell.
The 24-year-old social worker bowled Kai Fagan over as she entered the South African villa as a bombshell during Casa Amor.
Not only did Kai's head turn, but fans turned their heads also as they fell for Sanam's bubbly personality and her sweet growing connection with the teacher.
The couple went on to scoop the £50,000 cash prize and won the show – beating Ron and Lana, Tom and Samie and Tanya and Shaq to the top spot.
Sanam gushed over the experience in a sweet Instagram post on Thursday, as she shared a photo of herself and Kai posing together on the night they took the crown.
The social worker wrote in the caption: "The start of our love story.
"I can’t thank you all enough for the love you have given us. It honestly means the world to me to see how much support we have received. The positive messages, the videos of our journey, the fan pages, I honestly feel so blessed and overwhelmed with positive emotions I can’t express it.
"Love Island has been a beautiful experience for me and I’m so proud of say I’ve left with someone I love, admire, look up to, connect with on a deeper level and absolutely value and appreciate everything he stands for.
"I’m so excited to continue our journey on the outside and can’t wait for us to become so much more".
Not only is this the start of the couple's love story, but it's also the start of Sanam's new life in the limelight.
However, the former social worker won't abandon her humble beginnings as she and Kai have revealed to put some of their winnings into areas they care about.
Kai said: "I want to go to Italy. I want to go to the Amalfi Coast. Sanam wants to go to Santorini!" But, Sanam then added: "We’ve got to be sensible with it as well."
The former teacher then explained: "Before I came in here I wanted to start up a business and help kids get into physical activity. I don’t want to turn my back on teaching, working with young kids and think I will use some of that to do that. I am not sure yet in what capacity."
Sanam agreed as she said: "That’s similar to me. I came from social work - working with children who have been adopted. I know that sometimes in my area there can be limited services, so for me I want to be able to do something to aid and support them, being an advocate for them."
Before heading into the Love Island villa, Sanam shared a few posts – giving fans a glimpse of her life before Love Island, including her home. Here, we take a look...
Kitchen
Weeks before heading into the Love Island villa, Sanam posted a daring photo of herself posing on her kitchen counter tops.
In the snap, the beauty is wearing a blue and green abstract printed dress with long sleeves and a high neckline.
She added a pair of heeled knee-length boots to the ensemble and crouched down on the island of her kitchen to pose for the snap.
Behind Sanam is a neat and tidy kitchen with a large window in the middle of the wall.
Dark grey speckled counters sit on top of light wood cupboard with silver handles.
Meanwhile, the grey colourscheme is continued with the tiny mosaic tiles on the walls.
There are plates stood on the drying rack in front of the window and a microwave in the right-hand corner.
The room is finished off with several ornaments placed on top of the wall-hung cupboards.
Dining area
Sanam has posed for a number of glam snaps in the dining area of her home.
One set of snaps shows her wearing a grey marl bra top along with a pair of jeans as she sits on her dining table, which is covered with a white table cloth.
"Just chilling," she wrote as she posted the photos.
Another image sees her wearing a black mesh top and a smokey-eye as she pouts for the camera while posed in front of the orange walls.
She wrote in the caption: "To quote Kourtney Kardashian, 'I am the view'."
The walls are also decorated with white beading going around the middle while an image of leaves in different shades of orange hangs on one wall.
A beaded curtain has also been placed in front of a doorway in the dining area while a plant sits in the corner of the room.
Photos of Sanam in a gorgeous silky red maxi dress with a split thigh give another angle of the room.
A white door with glass panes is seen on the left side of Sanam, while a doorway with a beaded curtain is on the other.
In the corner in between the two entranceways in a shelving unit with plants, an ornament and magazines placed on.
Hanging on the wall is the famous poem Footprints, by Margaret Fishback Powers.
Stairs
Away from the kitchen and dining room, Sanam's stairs are decorated with white walls and a grey plush carpet.
She posed in a devil outfit for Halloween in 2021 while sitting on her stairs, giving her followers a glimpse.
The walls also appear to have a number of frames hanging on them while a mirror is placed behind Sanam at the top of the stairway.
Bedroom
The final room she has shown her followers is her bedroom.
Gorgeous reality star Sanam has shared three different posts taken in her boudoir.
One image sees Sanam posing in a black lace top and matching skirt while stood in front of her wardrobe and a set of drawers.
On top of the chest of drawers sit more little drawers for storage as well as a framed photo.
Sanam also has a green piggy bank on the chest of drawers, which she referenced in her caption as she wrote: "If you don’t look at me like the way my piggy bank is, you’re not the one #respectfully".
Another snap shows Sanam sitting down in front of her drawers once again, showing a picture hanging on her grey walls.
Sanam posted another photo of herself soaking up the sunshine while stood in front of her bedroom window. In the background, followers can see her white wardrobe and a grey heart-shaped hanging ornament on the wall.
