Families of the Love Island couples were waiting in the international arrivals area in Heathrow terminal three.
And the quartet received a ruptious reception as they walked through customs after their 12 hour flight.
Tanya’s family stood waiting with a homemade pink banner as they waited to greet the biomedical science student.
She then took to her social media as she and Shaq posed with her mum who beamed along with the pair.
The influencer posted a short clip onto her story as the quartet saw their families for the first time as they were greeted with screams and cheers.
Meanwhile, Samie was greeted by her best friend Abbey Allen who gushed over the pair on her own Instagram story.
Tom’s family including his parents Maxine and Jonathan as well as his friends were ready to welcome to footballer home.
The group included his pals Oliver Wilde, Ben Summers and Alice Ogden proudly stood with their banner as they waited for the star.
In the family reunion ITV2 episode, Tanya’s mum Polite and her auntie Cynthia entered the villa.
At the time when the families first met, her aunt exclaimed: “We’ve seen you guys from the start, we’ve seen you grow, we’ve seen you fall out, we’ve seen you pick up the pieces, we’ve seen you make up and to me, that’s love.”
Meanwhile, Samie’s mum Wendy and her sister Courtney also entered the villa alongside Tom’s mum Maxine and his sister Laura.
Samie’s mother claimed she’d never seen her daughter act in the way she did on the programme as she said saying: “He’s so lovely, he absolutely adores you Samie and you really like him don’t you?”
Whilst Tom’s sister gave her seal of approval as she noted: “She’s unbelievable, you make such a good couple, how affectionate you are with each other, you’re always looking for each other, it’s just so nice to see. I think she’s the one for you.”
