Did You Know

Most fans don’t know that Sanam Harrinanan made Love Island history by becoming the first Casa Amor contestant ever to win the UK series. Before Season 9, contestants introduced during Casa Amor often struggled to gain enough viewer support to win the competition. Kai and Sanam’s victory changed that narrative completely.
