Channel 4’s Virgin Island has made plenty of headlines since it premiered on May 12, with viewers divided and some branding it “creepy”.
It centres on 12 adult cast members who’ve never had sex before, as they travel to an island in Croatia to work with therapists – also referred to as ‘surrogate partners’ – who guide them on intimate situations.
But, with the final upon us, who lost their virginity during filming, and who has had sex since the show ended? Here’s what they’ve all been doing since filming the show.

Virgin Island cast – Dave, 24
Dave is the only one of the Virgin Island cast members who has sex on the show, losing his virginity to surrogate partner and somatic practitioner Kat Slade. They had an intimate therapy session in the island’s zen den during the final episode, which involves them having sex.
He went on to sleep with two more women, and the 24 year old currently has a girlfriend, who he has been dating for six months after filming, and he said of his bedroom skills: “Some of them aren’t amazing. But my girlfriend is happy. Our first time together was amazing.”
Dave met his new girlfriend on dating app Hinge, and told her about the show after five dates. He said, via The Sun, that she’d seen the first four episodes, but wouldn’t be watching the rest.
Because Dave was the only one to lose his virginity during the show itself, the cast’s post-show WhatsApp group chat was called ‘Virgins and Dave’. So, it’s renamed and updated every time another of the group has sex for the first time. Fellow contestant Taylor also said that when someone loses their virginity they’re greyed out of the group chat’s photo, too.
