Love Island's Remi and Afia are dating after exiting the villa

Love Island stars, Remi and Afia, are dating after recoupling drama saw them both dumped from the villa.

Neither Remi, 22, nor Afia, 25, found love on the island and ended up being dumped just a few days after they arrived in the Mallorca villa. It turns out they didn't need a reality show and a bunch of cameras to find their spark as the couple have apparently started dating outside of the show.

Afia appeared on YouTube show, Reality with Will Niobvu, where she was left red-faced after declaring Remi was her type. She said: "If I was still in there I would have 100% gone for Remi. He's tall, dark, and handsome. What's not to like?" Embarrassment set in when Remi entered the studio which ended up being their first encounter after they just missed each other on Love Island.

Setting the immediate shyness aside, the pair ended up enjoying an impromptu date on-air as they kicked back with some drinks over a bowl of spaghetti. Remi apparently thought the date went well as he asked Afia if she'd like to spend some time together in a more appropriate, romantic setting.

He said: "So, would you be up for meeting sometime? Like for a drink?" Agreeing to see where things go, Afia said: "Sure, I would love to and I go to Manchester all the time. I would love to."

Afia and Remi both entered the villa as bombshells but neither one managed to find themselves in a couple. Despite islander Ekin-Su's best efforts in trying to get Afia to be more forward with men, she was left hanging when it came to recoupling. The same goes for Remi who had his eyes on Indiyah but she ended up going with her original partner, Ikenna, instead.
