Moment two Virgin Island participants sleep with each other on TV in show first
The second series of Virgin Island has come to an end as three of the 12 adult virgins had sex on TV in the finale.
It comes after 12 virgins attempted to overcome their sexual intimacy anxiety on a retreat in Croatia.
During the 2026 edition of Virgin Island, the contestants consisted of Alex, Bertie, Callum, Ed, Ellen, Jason, Joy, Katie, Marianne, Millie, Tegan, and Will.
In a first for the Channel 4 show, which has aired throughout April and May, three of the contestants got it on.

Viewers were especially delighted for Katie and Callum, who were seen heading off to the tents.
"I feel like a genuine connection comes from, you know, meeting someone in person," Callum said.
"I want to see if I can really actually let it happen."
Watch below:
"Are you ready? Take your top off," Katie is heard saying from the inside.
"You take it off," replied Callum.
"Does it feel nice?" he then asked, to which she responded: "Uh huh."
Well, it was a very happy ending for the pair who were seen emerging from the tent to reveal that they are no longer virgins following a fair bit of grunting.
Katie said: "That was pretty hot," to which Callum agreed: "It was fun."
Over on X, one viewer wrote: "Callum and Katie are sooo cute together," while a second agreed: "Katie & Callum are adorable."
"It’s actually so impressive how much they’ve all progressed in 15 days! I hope any of them who need therapy/help with any of the things they’ve talked about going forwards are able to get that," a third penned.
"Feel super proud of them. This show really isn’t just about sex at all."
After losing her virginity, Katie admitted: "When I first arrived on this island, I was scared and I was shy, and so insecure.
"I didn't expect to lose my virginity at all, but I think it was really a natural thing because I trust Callum so much and it was really good.
"I'm just so excited to go back and show this new version of me."
The two-episode finale also saw Marianne having sex with surrogate partner Andre.
After the pair went their separate ways for a while, they reunited and got intimate.
As reported by The Sun, BDSM expert Shelby Devlin, who features in the second season, explained: "I joined mid-shoot for a relatively short window, so relationships had already begun forming.
"But from my very first workshop, I felt an immediate connection to both the individual participants and to the group dynamic as a whole.
"It felt like falling in love at first sight."
The strict rules Virgin Island cast members must follow
No contact with the therapists after the show
Dave, the only cast member on season one to lose his virginity, told the Daily Mail he was banned from contacting sex therapist Kat Slade again.
He said: “It was explained very clearly to us that you don’t stay in touch after – it’s sort of two weeks, and that’s it and then you move on.
“It’s not easy to just detach from feelings, but I think it’s an important lesson of it to like have those feelings and then let go of them.”
Do not enter other participants’ rooms
Cast members have to stay out of each other’s living quarters, but Ed, 27, from this season said it was ‘easy enough to follow’ since the cast spent 15 hours every day filming together.
One phone call per week
The cast members’ phones were confiscated when they arrived at the Obonjan Island Resort in Croatia, where they stayed for three and a half weeks.
However, they were allowed to nominate one family member or loved one to have a weekly phone call with while filming.
Ed told Wales Online: “We nominated a person who we'd want to talk to - I said my mum - and when we had a down day we'd get the opportunity to speak to them.
"It was really nice, but I think because everyone was so nice and I felt comfortable with everyone, I didn't feel like I needed that phone call because I felt I had a support group with me.
