Elan and Cindy, from Skipton, Yorkshire, met in Manchester on the show in October 2017 before it aired in April 2018.

The emotional date saw Cindy talk about her mum who had a terminal brain tumour while Elan spoke about his mum who had depression.

Confirming their romance on Instagram, Elan wrote: "Cindy you are the most beautiful person both inside and out.

"I feel like the luckiest guy on Earth to call you my girlfriend, as the last 6 months together have been incredible! I can't wait to see what the future has in store for us!"

The couple met up in Manchester a week after their first date and announced their engagement in May 2019 with Cindy posting a gorgeous picture of the pair while showing off her ring.

However the couple had to postpone their wedding plans due to the pandemic but revealed in January that they had bought their "dream home" together and were "delighted" to "start a new chapter together".

Dan and Lauren

Lauren appeared on the second series of the show which aired in 2014 and was matched with Faliraki DJ Terry Turbo who asked her what bra size she was over dinner!

However Dan appeared on series five of the Channel 4 show with a different Lauren but the date ultimately failed.

Dan and original Lauren met in a nightclub in 2013 and both starting hanging out as friends. It was only when Dan was called up to star on the show that Lauren realised there was something more to it.

And the couple went onto welcoming baby boy Jude together in 2016 and have also got engaged.

Steve and Lyn

Former royal engineer Steve was matched with Lyn, who had served in the armed forces for 17 years.

The couple spoke about marriage and children with Lyn revealing she was six months pregnant with a donor baby.

And Steve could not have been more understanding as he responded: "Whatever's going to be here then I'll embrace it all."

Lyn then explained how her previous relationship was with a woman but the couple laughed off the revelations with the mum-to-be describing Steve as a "gentleman".

The couple admitted they wanted to see each other again and three months after the episode aired in April 2018 they were still dating.

Lyn went onto welcoming her little boy Jaxon-James with Steve very much in the picture.

Greig and Shaun

Shaun Fairweather, from Manchester, was matched with Greig after his first date on the show saw him get dumped before he had finished his meal.

But the couple hit it off with Shaun describing after how it "couldn't have gone better" before the pair shared a sweet kiss to end the evening.

In December 2017 Greig asked Shaun to marry him and the pair tied the knot in April 2019.

Shaun shared a collection of wedding snaps to his Instagram, captioned: "Two years ago today we had our first date and now I'm so proud to call him my husband after marrying my best friend and soul mate. Love you Mr Fairweather and can't wait to go out later to celebrate!"
