Love Island’s Michael and Joanna reunite for awkward dinner as he tries to win her back... again

The 2019 series of ITV2's dating show saw Michael partnered with Amber Gill, only to later turn his attentions to Joanna. But when Joanna was voted off the show, Michael attempted to get back with Amber – who rejected him.

Now, a celebrity edition of Eating with my Ex - which reunites ex-couples to ask some awkward questions - will see Michael once again pursue Joanna.

"I wanted to know if there was still a chance that it could work basically, but at the same time I wanted to know, am I wasting time?" he said of appearing on the series.

Asked if he regretted pursuing Amber after Joanna left, he added: "I don’t regret it at all, it’s one of those things that you’ll never really get the opportunity again and I would have expected her to do the same, had it been the other way around. And I did tell her that."

As for how their reunion dinner unfolded, Joanna said: "I am happy with the outcome! Timing is everything and that’s all I’m giving away."
