“She blew me away straight away. I think it was the eyes,” Kai gushed as he recalled first meeting Sanam.
“For me it was always Kai, I always said he was my number one,” Sanam said.
“I fell in love with his intelligence,” she added before shying away after declaring her love for the first time.
Kai, a PE and Science teacher from Manchester, fell for Sanam, a social worker from Bedford, during Casa Amor and the couple have gone from strength to strength ever since.
For Sanam, she also turned the heads of other islanders before settling down with Kai.

It’s not all been sexy times though, as viewers’ hearts melted during the friends and family episodes when it was revealed that Sanam’s late father “would have loved Kai”.
In the episode, Sanam’s loved ones were full of praise for how she’s handled herself throughout the series and were keen to meet her new beau.
Whilst chatting with her mum and friends, her pal shared that Sanam’s dad “would’ve loved him” referring to Kai, causing an emotional Sanam to tear up.
