Love Island winner Sanam Harrinanan gives an insight into wedding dress shopping as she prepares to marry fiancé Kai Fagan
Love Island winner Sanam Harrinanan gave an insight into wedding dress shopping on Tuesday as she prepares to marry her fiancé Kai Fagan. The couple, who met on the 2023 ITV series, won by a landslide, receiving a whopping 44 percent of viewer votes and clinching the £50,000 prize fund. Trying on a number of dresses at Lotte Rose Bridal, in Bedford, Sanam, 26, shared some of her favourites in an Instagram update. Firstly, she tried on an off-the-shoulder lace gown before changing into an A-line dress with a corset top. She captioned the update: 'Part two of trying to find a wedding dress. 'This shop was absolutely stunninnnggg! Let me know in the comments which style/shape you think suits me best!' In December, the couple revealed that they haven't been swept up by the trappings of fame, having returned to their day jobs and turning down big money brand deals. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Sanam and Kai explained why they chose to return to their jobs as a social worker and PE teacher respectively. Sanam shared: 'I went to uni for five years to do something I'm very, very passionate about. 'It didn't feel right giving up what I'd learned, what I'd gained a passion for. Also knowing that you're making a difference in very many young children and adopted parents' lives is a massive sense of fulfillment. 'I love my job and it just didn't feel right to just walk away from it all when I work so hard. I wasn't ready to give up.' Sanam added: 'There's a perception that if you go on Love Island and then go back to work, you've been unsuccessful but that's really not the case with us because we both felt so strong about our careers and our passions. It's a case of living the best of both worlds. 'I'm really grateful for the opportunities and experiences that Love Island has brought our way but also waking up every single morning and feeling like you're actually being impactful in some way. 'We both work directly with children and the fact we can do that makes us feel like we're making a difference in our world. That's what's important to me.' Kai revealed he felt the same about teaching, explaining: 'I really enjoyed it and even before I went in the villa and was doing all the interviews and discussing my work I was always adamant that I really like teaching. 'I wasn't on the show for a career change. I was going on there for the experience and for the opportunity to meet somebody. 'You come out and you have all these opportunities. The opportunities are still amazing. But what I really wanted to do is go back into education in some sort of capacity. 'Working in education is something that made me happy going in - speaking to the students, helping and guiding them through their lives. 'Having a direct impact and knowing that every single day you're waking up and looking at somebody and thinking, I'm actually making a little bit of a difference here. 'That's what gets me up in the morning. That's what makes me happy.'
