Love Island’s Most Memorable Heart Rate Challenge Dances Over The Years
The iconic episode is a fan-fave each year, so we’ve rounded up some of the most memorable baby challenge moments from past seasons.
Let’s take a look…
As all new fathers do, the 2018 boys got together to have a pram race with their babies, and it didn’t go down too well for Dr Alex, who went head-to-head with Jack Fincham.
Not only did he trip and fall over, but he also sent the baby flying and left fans in hysterics!
As we await today’s baby challenge, let’s not forget Dr Alex murdering his baby so he could win a race 😭😭🤣🤣🤣 #loveisland pic.twitter.com/QvQLkY4SLU

The king of taking the baby challenge seriously was Chris Hughes, who was coupled up with his now-ex Olivia Attwood.
The pair named their baby Cash Hughes, and Chris even went on to update fans with the progress of their son a year after the challenge took place!
In light of the baby challenge today, let’s also not forget the best single father to ever exist - Chris!🥲🥺 #loveisland pic.twitter.com/YIUvSQho0E

In 2019, the baby challenge came after Anna Vakili and Jordan Hames split - which was just two days after they made things official.
For those who don’t remember, Jordan and Anna got into a very heated argument after Jordan admitted his feelings for India Reynolds during one night in the villa, leading him and Anna to call it quits.
This meant that they were stuck with the very awkward task of raising their baby separately!
No one can ever ever outdo how Anna did the baby challenge - Made Jordan a single parent while she relaxed and sipped her coffee #loveisland pic.twitter.com/e98KeNXU4Q

Fans had been anticipating Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury taking on the baby challenge since they were one of the most loved-up couples at the time.
However, it wasn’t long before the boxer got a bit too rough with their son and flipped their baby around - and Molly-Mae’s reaction was priceless!
