Celebs Go Dating: The Mansion saw eight famous faces let their guards down like never before, confined to a sprawling property in the Surrey countryside.
Living in a house filled with singletons, the celebs got to know their dates on a deeper level, committing themselves entirely to the agency.
During Thursday’s grand finale, six couples decided to stay together, with the emotional evening even featuring a declaration of love.
However, with filming taking place in September of 2020, a lot of time has passed since the celebs vacated the mansion.
While some of the pairings have stood the test of time, other couples struggled to stay together in real life, eventually splitting.
Below we take a look at which couples are still head over heels, and which have since called it a day.

On day one, DJ Tom Zanetti didn’t make the best first impression with Sophie Hermann, when he mistook her for one of the dates – rather than the celebs – on the show.
However, as the series went on, it became clear there were sparks flying between the pair.
Made In Chelsea star Sophie agreed to continue dating Tom outside the mansion, and they’re just as loved up today.
On Valentine’s Day, Sophie shared a tribute to the Flight Mode hitmaker over Instagram, confirming they were still together.
The clip showed Tom reciting a poem he had written for the “Duchess,” comparing her to a range of animals, including a tiger, lion and mouse.

Even breaking out into German at one point, the poem left Sophie blushing, as she branded it the “sweetest thing” she’d ever heard.
Sophie has even promised their co-star Chloe Ferry will be the bridesmaid at their wedding, chatting to the Geordie Shore star during an Instagram live.
Reflecting on her romance with Tom, Sophie said: “We’re cute, right? If we get married, absolutely bridesmaid number one.”
Kimberly Hart-Simpson and Shane

Coronation Street star Kimberly Hart-Simpson found love in the Celebs Go Dating Mansion, with her beau Shane dropping the L-word during their commitment ceremony.
He said: “I’ve been wanting to say something for the last few days. But I know this is the time to say it.
“I’ve literally fallen in love with you. I want to be with you.”
There were tears shed in the crowd before them, as their Celebs Go Dating co-stars gave the pair a standing ovation.
After filming wrapped, the lovebirds moved in together, and Kimberly finally worked up the nerve to tell Shane she loved him too.
In a video filmed for viewers from their shared home, Kimberly said: “Me and Shane have been staying together since the mansion, and I finally told Shane that I love him back!”
Karim Zeroual and Whitney

Unfortunately, the remaining couples weren’t so lucky in love, with Whitney and Karim Zeroual failing to last outside the mansion.
The sweethearts had an almighty row near the end of the series, and almost split, but decided to stay together during the commitment ceremony.
In the finale, Karim told the cameras: “For me, it was always Whitney.”

And Whitney added: “There’s been a lot of ups and downs between me and Karim but I think that’s what we actually needed to realise how strong we was and that brought us closer than ever before.”
However, once reality hit and the lockdown forced them apart, they decided to go their separate ways.
E4 told viewers: “Lockdown meant their love didn’t last the distance.”
Karim has reportedly since been spotted on a dating app, meaning his hunt for love is back on.
Wayne Lineker and Billie Jean

Much like many of his Celebs Go Dating co-stars, Wayne Lineker decided he was better off as friends with his match Billie Jean.
Putting their age difference aside, Wayne and Billie Jean decided to give their relationship a go on the outside.
While on the show, they hit it off, with Wayne even hinting he could hear wedding bells at one point of the series.
After he was asked about wedding venues, he said: “I don’t think that’s my decision about where the beach should be, I think that should be Billie-Jean’s decision.”
Businessman Wayne, who owns an empire of nightclubs in Spain and Ibiza, even introduced the model to his family after filming came to an end.
However, they later decided to keep things platonic, with E4 telling viewers that “their flirtationship turned into a friendship”.
Joey Essex and Shannon

Having only met 48 hours before the finale, it’s no surprise Joey Essex and Shannon’s romance was short-lived.
The TOWIE star decided to continue dating late arrival Shannon during the commitment ceremony, having shared a spark on their first date.
Sadly, Joey admitted he was single in the run-up to Valentine’s Day, appearing on Good Morning Britain to discuss his quest for love.
The reality star chatted with hosts Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard, admitting he was hoping to settle down in the near future.
Joey also revealed he had grown a beard in the hopes of wooing his dream woman, telling GMB viewers: “I don’t know if I’m the problem, or they’re the problem. I don’t know what the problem is.
“I’m a very loving and caring person. I need to find what I’m about as well. I’m a difficult, complicated character too. I’m very picky.
“But I’m growing a beard now I think that might work.”
Chloe Ferry and Kieran

Chloe Ferry was uncertain about her romance with Kieran throughout the series, continuing to go on dates with other agency matches.
However, the pair decided to give their relationship a shot in the outside world, committing to each other in the finale.
Making his feelings for Chloe heard, Kieran read out a poem he had written for the Geordie Shore star.
Chloe praised the impact Kieran has had on her self-confidence, saying: “Before I come into this house I was really insecure about everything.”
She went on: “You coming into me life has made us feel so amazing. You’ve made me realise that lads aren’t actually bad.”
Vowing to continue getting to know each other outside the series, she said: “I just think you’re one in a million.”
While they have remained friends, Chloe and Kieran didn’t see their relationship develop into something romantic.
After the show ended, Chloe jetted off to Dubai for the winter break, working as an influencer under the sun.
Still single today, the reality star has promised to become a bridesmaid for the potential wedding of another Celebs Go Dating couple – Sophie and Tom.
