Love Island's class of 2020 were reunited in Manchester as bars, pub and restaurants reopened across the country.
The reality show champs Paige Turley and her partner Finley Tapp, who recently moved in together in Manchester, met up with fellow islanders Callum Jones, Connor Durman, Demi Jones, Jamie Clayton, Molly Smith and Natalia Zoppa for the day dubbed 'Super Saturday.'
Natalia, an events manager from Manchester who joined Love Island during the dreaded Casa Amor stage of the show, was celebrating her 21st birthday.
On the winter edition of the show set in Cape Town, South Africa she returned to the main villa from neighbouring Casa Amor with Luke Mabbott, but just days later the pair split and Luke struck up a romance with Demi.
"Happy 21st birthday to this absolute worldie," said Demi on her Instagram, sharing a snap of the two girls smiling together.
The Love Island gang visited Boulevard in Manchester's Spinningfields area and Menagerie at New Bailey where they got into the spirit of the occasion with a tray of shots complete with a sparkler.
And on Sunday lunchtime Demi, who is launching her own fashion collection with Salford-based In The Style, enjoyed a celebratory lunch at Turtle Bay.
Like Paige and Finn, former Manchester scaffolder Callum and model Molly's relationship has gone from strength to strength since leaving the ITV2 dating show in February.
Callum fell for fellow Mancunian Molly when the boys were dispatched from the Love Island villa to Casa Amor, where they were introduced to a new line-up of potential dates.
Last month Scottish singer Paige and footballer Finley from Milton Keynes moved into a three-bedroom apartment which boast city views with floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Sooo it’s official .. I moved to Manchester with R kid!!" Paige announced excitedly on her Instagram.
She filmed the view from their flat as the rain poured down and poked fun at the Manchester weather.
"I thought Scotland's weather was bad," she joked.
"Mate we have seen like four different seasons in the one day in Manchester. What's that all about?"
And Finley says his days at the moment are spent exploring 'Manny.'
After spending lockdown at Paige's parents in West Lothian, Scotland, the couple snapped up their own swanky pad in Manchester.
Manchester was the ideal choice because it's halfway between both their parents homes.
They were encouraged to move here by other Love Islanders who have also relocated to Mancherster.
Olivia Attwood, a former Motorsport Grid Girl from Surrey, moved here with her Blackburn Rovers footballer fiance Bradley Dack.
Last year 2018 contestants Ellie Brown, from Newcastle, Kendall Rae Knight, from Blackpool, and Stephanie Lam from Hertfordshire moved in together in Hale.
And Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, who were finalists last summer, moved in together in Ancoats after falling in love and winning hearts on the show.

They have since moved into a new home to make a fresh start following the tragedy of losing their pet puppy Mr Chai who passed away days after arriving as a gift for Molly-Mae's 21st birthday.
Molly-Mae, originally from Hertfordshire, moved to Manchester before finding fame on the show because it's 'like a mini London.'
"For the apartments, properties and pricing in Manchester the price would nearly triple in London," an insider told us about Molly-Mae's decision to live here.
"The nightlife and restaurant bar scene is quite a pull up here also as there is always so much going on."
The show was cancelled this summer due to the coronavirus pandemic, but bosses are filling the love-heart shaped hole with reunion specials involving some of the show favourites.
