What Was Callum’s Love Island 2020 Journey Like?
The sexy scaffolder entered the villa on Day 1 and was instantly snapped up by 25-year-old democratic services officer Shaughna Phillips.
However, the new couple didn’t have a lot of time to enjoy the honeymoon after blonde bombshell Jess Gale and her twin sister Eve Gale entered the villa.
Eve tore the couple apart when she chose to couple up with Callum in a shock twist.

To rock the boat further, 21-year-old Miss Newcastle winner Rebecca Gormley took a shine to the scaffolder but Callum later chose to keep his sights set on Shaughna.
Callum and Shaughna appeared to be one of the strongest couples in the villa and stuck together for the first four weeks of the series. Viewers were quite certain that the pair were going to get their hands on that 50K grand cash prize.
However, all that was set to change with the dreaded curse of Casa Amor…
