On Sunday night, Love Island aired its reunion episode on ITV2, which means that the show is fully, properly over for 2017. And as those of us who built our lives around it for the last two months attempt to re-gather the debris of our existences with a sorrowful smile (as the saying that your mum once posted on Facebook via an inspirational memes page goes: 'don't cry because it's over……be grateful that it happened'), the contestants that we grew to love and care for are planning their next moves.

There's Marcel, whose popularity on the show has lead to a re-emergence for Blazin' Squad, the boyband-cum-rap-crew of which he was a part in the early 2000s; there's Sam, the man with the world's most threatening eyebrows, who'll reportedly be joining the cast of Geordie Shore, and then there is Kem.

Along with Marcel and Chris 'shout out my family' Hughes, Kem Cetinay (who won the show with his girlfriend Amber Davies) is one third of Love Island's most popular (and only) rap group, and last night he revealed that his music career would be scaling to new heights, via a collaboration with Stormzy. When asked whether he'd spoken to the south London rapper, who's been vocal about wanting to team up, Kem kinda confirmed, saying "there's something going on," which means that and music will be good forever from here onwards, thank you.

Basically, you can probably expect a studio version of "Little Bit Leave It" in mere weeks, and it will be number 1 until Christmas, when a jingle bell remix of the track will overtake it. I for one cannot wait.
