Love Island winners Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey are now engaged.

The former contestants scooped the show's £50,000 prize when they met during the second series in 2016.

Nathan proposed to Cara, a former glamour model and circus performer from Gravesend, in the Love Island villa - the spot where they first met.

He told OK! magazine: "I brought her back to where we met and took her on a little treasure hunt around the villa to different places which meant something to us.

"Finally, I blindfolded her, led her to the pool and got down on one knee."

The couple have a son, Freddie-George, born in December 2017 but called it quits for a period before he was born.

Cara has revealed that she was struggling with depression and anxiety at the time.

Describing the proposal as "so romantic," she said: "This is where we met – we've come full circle.

"I had bad depression, and coming out of Love Island I had really bad anxiety.

"I didn't know how to cope with the attention and the fact my boyfriend was going to nightclubs to do personal appearances.

"It got to a point where we loved each other but we just weren't happy, and then when I fell pregnant we made that conscious decision that it's not right to be together at the moment, but if it's meant to be, then it will work.

"We didn't think we would get back together, but we did."

The fourth series of Love Island has entered its final week.

Swanley contestant Jack Fincham is favourite to win the show alongside his girlfriend Dani Dyer, daughter of EastEnders actor Danny.
