And she even attributed doing the deed on screen to their secure relationship and encouraged this year’s crop to follow suit.

She told the Sun’s Bizarre column: “I don’t regret having sex on TV as such. It’s a bit strange that the whole nations knows about it.

"No one normally knows about your sexual relations but then at the end of the day if that worked for Dom and I, I’m glad that we did because I’m still with him now.

“It wasn’t a one night stand, I didn’t sleep with multiple people on the show and I think if it feels right and you feel comfortable with that person go for it.

“Don’t feel confined to anyone else’s opinion of if you should or shouldn't. It’s your choice.

"Maybe having sex on TV is what it takes to get married."

Kady, 22, romped with boyfriend Scott Thomas, 29, on the previous year’s season.

They split just 18 months after leaving the villa.

She told the new islanders to be themselves and have sex if they feel it’s right.

Kady told the Sun she didn’t regret having sex either as it was with someone she was in love with.

She said: "Just be yourself, don't try and be anyone you're not because you have to be true to yourself and have fun.

"I personally don't regret having sex because it was with someone I was actually with and loved.”
