After a 90-minute final and an emotional declaration of love during the last episode, the pair were crowned winners of the series.
During the final tense few minutes – Kem had the option of keeping the £50k to himself, but he shared it with Amber.
However after leaving the villa, the pair split after just 132 days of dating.
Some would say Kem's biggest connection in the villa was the bromance between him and Chris Hughes. The duo formed a close friendship and their chats and raps were hilarious, keeping the viewers and fellow contestants entertained.
What has Kem done since Love Island?
In 2018 Kem took part in Dancing On Ice, and finished in fourth.
He has since gone on to be a guest on several television series, including Love Island: Aftersun, I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp, and Happy Hour with Olly Murs, a one-off special.
He is also a presenter for This Morning, and a contestant on Weakest Link and Hunted.
