Viewers are still reeling from the finale of Virgin Island, which aired earlier this week.

Just one of the 12 participants lost their virginity on TV, with lucky man Dave getting to carry out the deed with sex surrogate Kat Slade.

The premise of the TV show is getting a group of virgins between the ages of 22 and 30 on an island to go through a number of intimate experiences by experts.

They're called 'sex surrogates', and they guide the participants through different activities, and when they feel like the people are ready, they'll carry out sexual acts with them.

But in Tuesday's (27 May) final episode, Dave was taken to the 'zen den' to carry out a sex 'marathon session'.

Having explored the act with Kat, who is described to be a certified surrogate and somatic practitioner, he spoke about how it felt to have his first time having sex broadcast on Channel 4.

He lost his virginity to her after all, but he admitted to MailOnline that they aren't really in touch anymore as they were told that 'you don't stay in touch' after the two weeks, and you're made to move on.

He said: "It's not easy to just detach from feelings, but I think it's an important lesson of it to like have those feelings and then let go of them.

"I don't think I was too worried about falling in love."

Talking about the moment itself, Dave opened up on what is usually a private experience for someone.

The audio was broadcast to the world by Channel 4, though luckily the camera cut away to some B-roll of the island.

"In my head, when I was going to lose my virginity, I thought it was going to be a really intimate moment.

"It was just going to be between me and like a really lovely woman," he admitted.

The accountant went on: "But now it's between me and a really lovely woman and all of Channel 4's viewers. It's strange. It's really strange. But I don't think it's a bad thing."

While the confidence-building activities, chats, and sessions were caught on camera, so too were a select number of intimate moments, including some of the more awkward ones.

Admitting that it was 'scary' for such personal moments to be broadcast to the world, he added that he was 'fine being recorded'.

"There was a point where, after one session, I just kind of detached, and I just moved on from the cameras, moved past it, and then was able to be a lot more natural. You get used to it," he explained.

Dave, who was the only one on the island to lose his virginity on the show, admitted that wasn't his aim going into the reality series.

Looking to 'gain as much' as he could from it, he said: "I think that's something they made sure we knew not to have specific goals for things, so that you don't get disappointed, because everyone on that island has gained so much."

He went on to say that he is now enjoying a 'great life' with his girlfriend, and admitted that he wouldn't believe anyone telling him a year ago that he would have a relationship at this point.

Since the show's finale, Holly confirmed that she's also done the deed, though no-one else has announced anything yet.
