THE Love Island baby challenge is one of the show's most popular tasks, pushing its contestants to the limit and delivering some of the show's most memorable moments.

Each couple is assigned a baby and automatically become new 'parents', which means they must tend to their baby's every need which includes feeding as well as nappy changes.

Chris Hughes and Olivia Attwood cared for baby Cash for the day.

He got incredibly attached to their bundle of joy - and even shed a tear at the end of the task. Chris even said he’d save Cash from a fire if it came to it and was so committed to being a dad to the plastic tot he even took him on holiday.

But Cash's fate shocked fans when they spotted him shoved in a box during a row between the pair.

In their post-Love Island show Crackin’ On, the couple had a massive row and eventually broke up.

In the background, Chris and Olivia's belongings were piled up in boxes next to the sofa they were sitting on during the row.

But in the background, lying on top of a box was little Cash.
