Forgotten Love Island spin-offs – Maura 60-minute special to cringe duo series

You Vs. Chris & Kem

Chris and Kem reunited a year later to take on the nation in a series of surprise challenges set by the public.

They traveled far and wide across the UK in their 'Bro Mobile' to meet their challengers and test their skills.
