With Big Brother you got your fair share of romances, showmances and ill-advised night vision romps.
From series 2's Michelle Bass and Stuart Wilson (or 'chicken' as she preferred) to series 7's Nikki Grahame and Pete Bennett, in-house chemistry rarely translated well in the outside world.
But there was one couple that had the real thing, and are now married with three kids 14 years later!
Grace Adams-Short and Mikey Dalton struck up a romance in series 7 of the hit reality TV show way back in 2006.

In their early 20s at the time, the pair only spent 30 days with one another in the house before Grace was evicted.
After expressing some interest in fellow housemate Imogen Thomas as the start, Mikey settled on Grace and the pair were attached at the hip until the very end.
Despite some housemates insisting their romance was "all for the cameras", Grace, 34, and Mikey, 37, are still going strong until this day.
Doesn't that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?!

After the show, Grace set up her own chain of successful performing arts schools, which allowed her to buy properties in both London and Liverpool.
The pair got married in October 2009 and welcomed their first child Georgina in 2012, followed by son Spencer in 2015 and daughter Allegra in 2018.
Liverpudlian Mikey currently owns his own advertising firm, while Grace recently sold her performing arts company for millions, according to The Sun.
Grace told the paper: "I absolutely loved every second of it from the audition rounds to all the amazing opportunities that came after the show. The highlight really was meeting my husband, the daddy of our three munchkins.

"It was kind of like a holiday romance. We just enjoyed it really and everything we did since then has felt right for us.
"Without Big Brother, I would never of been able to buy a quarter of a million pound flat in London by myself at the age of 20 and travel the way I did."
The pair's romance was resurfaced on Tuesday's episode of Big Brother: Best Shows Ever, which is hosted by Davina McCall and Rylan Clarke-Neal.
And it seems the fans were equally as warmed by the revelation.

"Such a lovely thing to see grace and Mikey still together with three kids," one wrote. "Crying knowing that grace and mikey are still together," said another.
We love a happy ending.
