The 27-year-old, who appeared on season four of the beloved ITV2 dating series, is currently holidaying in Greece and took to Instagram to revealed the exciting news.
Sharing a loved-filled post, Sam paid tribute to his time in the villa as he captioned shots of him cosying up to his other half and her eye-catching ring: ‘All my eggs in one basket.’

Equally thrilled by their new chapter, Kailah, who appeared on MTV’s The Challenge, shared an Instagram post showing off her brand new diamond ring.
The Florida native penned: ‘I’m marrying my favorite person in the world’ (sic). To which Sam commented, ‘Can’t wait for the rest of our life together’.
Kaliah previously revealed how the couple began dating in an April YouTube video.
Speaking about their blossoming romance, she explained that she slid into his DMs in January after a fan contacted her and told her Sam had been liking her photos.

The TV star then reached out to personal trainer Sam, to which he responded and said, ‘I’m going to book a trip to come see you.’
MTV viewers will recognise Kailah from her numerous appearances on The Challenge, competing most recently on Total Madness and for her brief stint on Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club.
The American beauty previously dated DJ Michael ‘Mikey P’ Pericoloso while competing on The Challenge, but cheated on him with Celebrity Big Brother star Stephen Bear.
Meanwhile, Sam was catapulted into the limelight on 2018’s instalment of Love Island where he began dating Georgia Steel after being pied by Josh Denzel when he returned from Casa Amor.
The pair split three months after leaving the villa amid claims Georgia hadn’t been ‘loyal’ to Sam.
However, the former couple briefly grew close once again when they appeared on Ex On The Beach: Peak Of Love – but it wasn’t meant to be.
Georgia went on to have a whirlwind romance with Callum Izzard in August 2019 when they met during the filming of Ex on the Beach: Peak Of Love, with the couple becoming engaged just a month later.
Although the couple were living together in Essex, it appears lockdown got the better, leading to their split.
A source told The Sun Online at the time: ‘Callum has moved out of their Essex apartment during lockdown.
‘They were recently flat hunting in Manchester together, but it’s been called off. Georgia is now planning to move up to Manchester alone.’
