EVA ZAPICO

Eva Zapico, 24, found lasting love when she stole Nas Majeed from Demi Jones during the 2020 series of Love Island. Three years on, they are building their future together

"Having watched the show for three weeks, Nas had always been in my top three and I knew that we'd get on. I was right and within 24 hours we were sharing a bed together.

Entering the show during Casa Amor, I was aware that Nas was coupled up with Demi but I had to do what was best for me. In real-time terms, they'd only been together for a few days, so it didn't feel like I was really breaking them up - I didn't see it as a big deal.

While I knew Nas liked me, I was never sure if he'd take the plunge and recouple. He's a nice guy and I didn't know if he'd be able to dump Demi because he was conscious of her feelings. When he said my name, I realised that what we had was serious.
