Former Love Island winners Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey are returning to The Only Way is Essex this weekend.

Following a six month break from the ITVBe reality show, the couple will spend an evening with Tommy Mallet and Georgia Kousoulou on tomorrow night's (May 19) episode.

Tommy is due to be best man at the pair's wedding, and we will see him prepare for the role as Nathan and Cara fill in their friends on life as parents, according to The Sun.

Cara and Nathan first met on Love Island in 2016, going on to win the show that year and later welcoming a baby, Freddie-George, in 2017.

The pair did split for a little while before the child was born, though later put that behind them and got engaged in 2018.

The proposal took place where it all started, in the Love Island villa, and we got to witness the sweet moment Nathan got on one knee on social media.

"So here's my proposal video ladies and gents," Nathan wrote on the Instagram clip last year. "[I'm] not one for being a cringe ball, but I suppose you have to set the bar when you propose."

He later explained: "I brought her back to where we met and took her on a little treasure hunt around the villa to different places which meant something to us. Finally, I blindfolded her, led her to the pool and got down on one knee."

The Only Way is Essex continues tomorrow evening (May 19) on ITVBe at 9pm.
