The 'Love Island' couple - who met while taking part in the reality TV show over the summer - are keen to take their relationship to the next level by bringing a baby French Bulldog named Reggie, who will stay with his mother until December, into their family.

Taking to her Instagram account on Tuesday (25.10.16), the blonde beauty uploaded a photograph of five puppies sucking on their mother's milk alongside the caption: "After months of searching, @ab_bowen and I have finally found our little boy! Born on 22nd October he's coming home just before Christmas. Our little Reggie the Frenchie (sic)"

And it seems the pair - who have just moved into their own house - are set for a busy festive season as they're also being lined up to take part in the one-off Christmas episode for 'Love Island' alongside winners Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey.

A source said recently: "The whole project is currently in pre-production but there's a real buzz around the idea. It's just a case of working out the logistics with schedules."

Although it's meant to be a jolly time of year, there will no doubt be plenty of tantrums when the cast reunite for the first time since their fiery time in the Spanish villa.

Details on the special aren't yet known but it's believed bosses are hoping to find a winter destination to house the contestants.

Meanwhile, the pair - who finished runners-up in the competition - are desperate to land their own reality TV series next year as they want to prove to fans how normal they are.

Speaking to BANG Showbiz, Olivia said: "I would love to have my own show. 'A day in the life of me and Alex' to show people that we are really normal and just silly things."
