But Ciaran and Nicole almost ended up on very different shows.
Appearing on the podcast, she said: "I got asked to go on Celebs Go Dating for this season, so I think if I wasn’t gonna go on Love Island, maybe Celebs Go Dating."
And Ciaran confessed that Married At First Sight producers previously approached him - but his mum wasn't impressed.
He said: "Before this show I got asked to go on Married At First Sight.

"I got asked for the first UK one, I was 18. I told my mum about it, I said, ‘mum, guess what, I’ve been asked to go on a TV show’.
"She said, ‘Is is Love Island?’ I said, ‘no, Married At First Sight, I’m gonna be married now mum’. She lost it."
It comes after Ciaran reignited his feud with Joey Essex after the former Towie star snogged Nicole during a game in the villa.
Joey insisted that he only picked Nicole to 're-mark her' after previously rating her as a 'bad kisser'.

And it seems Ciaran still isn't happy. In a TikTok chat with , he talked about how some people had questioned whether producers had told Joey to kiss Nicole, to heat things up.
But Ciaran was having none of this theory. He said: "I don't know all this producer talk and stuff.
"To me everything I've done, bad or good, is all me.
"So, even if, you know, producers or production is in somebody's ear and you're doing something to me or doing something, at someone, you've still got to expect the reaction back.
"You can't just then go, 'oh yeah but production told me to do it'."
