The pair tied the knot in Gibraltar.

Love Island star Sam Bird has married his partner Kailah Casillas after they snuck away to Gibraltar.

Bird appeared on the fourth season of the dating show where he was coupled up with Samira, Ellie J and  Georgia before being dumped from the island on day 47.

Kailah herself is no stranger to reality TV after her stint on The Challenge.

Sam shared their happy news with a short montage video on Instagram.

In his caption, he wrote: “The new Mr & Mrs Bird. Tied the knot in Gibraltar and vlogged the whole trip.”

She continued: “I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you, @samrobertbird.
