Inside Love Island finalists Ciaran and Nicole’s belated homecoming party with pole dancing and controversial co-star
LOVE Island finalists Ciaran Davies and Nicole Samuel had a very belated boozy homecoming party two months after the ITV2 show wrapped up.
The Welsh couple, who placed second on this year’s series, gathered their loved-ones to celebrate their experience together.
Over eight weeks after they returned to the UK from Majorca, they decided to throw a huge party.
Nicole, 26, and Ciaran, 21, looked incredible as they enjoyed a night full of drinks and dancing.
Accounts manager Nicole wowed in a white dress, while surveyor Ciaran opted for an all black outfit.
The pair shared a glimpse inside their special night with fans on Instagram.
The couple and their guests all posed for snaps in front of a gold and white themed balloon display in a club venue.
The gang looked like they were having the time of their lives dancing away and showing off their moves on a pole.
The drunks were flowing as the DJ and live band played out the tunes.
There was one familiar face in the crown – Nicole’s best pal from the villa Jess White.
The former Islander looked incredible in a plunging white jumpsuit.
They played Ella Henderson and Switch Disco’s tune Under The Sun in the background.
The couple captioned the post: “Our belated coming home party with our nearest and dearest.”
Fans rushed to the comments to share the love.
One wrote: “Omg this is the cutest thing the best night celebration the best couple.”
“Aww I love this,” another added.
Love Island Series 11 - who's still together?
The 11th series of popular ITV2 dating show Love Island created plenty of new couples - but not all of them have managed to go the distance.
- Mimii and Josh – Still together
- Nicole and Ciaran – Still together
- Matilda and Sean – Split: The couple, who reached the final, opted to go their separate ways just a month after series 11 wrapped. They each announced news of the separation through statements posted on Instagram.
- Jess and Ayo – Still together
- Jessy and Joey – Still together
- Grace and Reuben – Split: Grace and Reuben were eliminated just before the final. They mutually decided to call time on their relationship after struggling to make it work in the real world thanks to their conflicting, busy schedules.
- Jess W and Hugo – Split: The couple – who got together during the Casa Amor stage – split just days after leaving the villa. Meanwhile, Hugo was seen snogging former Love Island contestant Charlotte Sumner.
- Harriett and Ronnie – Split
A third said: “CUTIESSS LOOKING SO LUSH.”
The two are happier than ever – but they may not have even found each other if they decided to go on different shows.
Ciaran and Nicole revealed that they turned down huge reality shows to go on Love Island.
Appearing on the Not My Bagg podcast, she said: “I got asked to go on Celebs Go Dating for this season, so I think if I wasn’t gonna go on Love Island, maybe Celebs Go Dating.”
And Ciaran confessed that Married At First Sight producers previously approached him – but his mum wasn’t impressed.
He said: “Before this show I got asked to go on Married At First Sight
“I got asked for the first UK one, I was 18. I told my mum about it, I said, ‘mum, guess what, I’ve been asked to go on a TV show’.
“She said, ‘Is is Love Island?’ I said, ‘no, Married At First Sight, I’m gonna be married now mum’. She lost it.”
Fans recently uncovered a new Love Island feud involving the pair.
Harriett Blackmore unfollowed Nicole and Ciaran on Instagram after the trio attended former Islander Omar Nyame‘s birthday party.
Writing on Reddit, one asked: “Anyone know what the beef is between Harriett and Ciaran/Nicole as Harriett has unfollowed them since Omar’s birthday party?”
They added: “Something must have went down at Omar’s birthday party because Harriett has unfollowed Ciaran and Nicole. They’re all part of the same management so wonder how this will play out!”
