Winter Love Island winners Paige Turley and Finn Tapp have gone to great lengths not to miss any of the action from the Villa this year.
The loved-up couple - who met thanks to the ITV2 show in 2020 - have dubbed this year's series of Love Island "one of the best ever" and have even tuned in while abroad.
"We’ve just got back from holiday and I downloaded a VPN so I could watch it while we were away," Finn laughed when chatting to the Daily Record recently.
"So far it’s been one of the best ever - there’s been some good drama."
The reality TV star went on to predicted who could "do well" on the show - saying "Davide and Ekin-Su are like a married couple, there’s something about those two."
"When you’re watching it all you remember how it feels in there, it all comes back, the good bits, all the excitement, this brilliant summer," he went on to say.
"But you forget that there are times when you’re in there and it feels different - when you’re thinking how nice it would be, to be at home, just to have a little break.
"It’s just so nice watching it but not being in the villa!"
After meeting in the South African villa and going on to win Love Island's first ever winter edition in 2020, Paige and Finn now live together in Manchester.
Sparking up a romance just before the world went into lockdown meant they’ve had plenty of time together but they’ve not been able to do much else.
Now they’re making up for lost time.
The pair have just returned from a break overseas together and are continuing to enjoy "normal things" together.
Although they laugh nervously when the topic of marriage is brought up during the interview, the pair seem as loved up as when they first met in 2020.
"Yeah, things are really good," Finn says, "We’re just starting to be able to do all the normal things to be honest.
"The things that couples usually do…we’re catching up."
The happy couple were speaking ahead of being part of this year's Daily Record Pride of Scotland Awards with TSB - something Scottish star Paige was delighted to see her return to her home country.
"You go to so many events where you’re the only Scottish person so to be here, to be home and to have Finn here too, was just brilliant," she explained on the red carpet earlier this month.
"The atmosphere was just amazing, it really was a celebration of the best of Scotland, I felt so proud."
As well as getting to know the winners, Finn admits to being a little bit star-struck about meeting some of the Scottish celebrities in attendance too.
"I’ve got him into loads of Scottish shows," laughs Paige, "Comedies like Still Game and Two Doors Down, that was all part of us getting to know each other so he was so excited to be there with people like Greg (Hemphill), Sanjeev (Kholi) and Elaine C Smith.
"It blew his mind - and mine!"
*Watch the Daily Record Pride of Scotland Awards on STV and STV Player at 8pm on Tuesday, July 19.
