Chanelle, who was a 19-year-old student at the time, walked out of house on day 62 of the programme, prompted by a row she had with Ziggy.

Despite immediately hitting it off in the house, the reality stars were unable to make the romance work in the real world.

They split six months after the show ended to focus on their individual careers.

Zac was 26 when he appeared on the reality show and has kept a low profile, away from the public eye since splitting with Chanelle.
