Channel 7 has announced they are bringing back popular Noughties dating show Temptation Island, where committed couples test their relationship by seeing if they can resist the abundance of bikini-clad and half-naked singles around them.

The show only lasted one season back in the day, but considering reality television has come quite a way since 2002, we are all very much looking forward to the 2019 iteration.  

One of the early contestants on the Australian version of the series back in 2002 was Kyly Clarke (then Kyly Boldy) who has since gone from little known reality TV name and risen to televsion presenter, model, blogger and wife to Australian cricket legend Michael Clarke.

After landing a gig as a presenter on The Weather Channel in 2009, Kyly’s career was slowly rising with various modelling and television gigs. 

In 2010, a few months after Michael Clarke ended his turbulent engagement with Lara Bingle, rumours began flying of a romance between old friend’s Kyly Boldy and Clarke. 

At the time, it was reported that the future golden couple of cricket had been pals since their time in high school together at Parramatta’s Westfields Sports High.
