Too Hot To Handle is still going strong, with a fifth season released in summer 2023, so there's still curiosity surrounding the THTH season 1 winners. The first season put the show on the map with a couple of famous faces. Now that the search for meaningful connections has begun again, let’s look back at the season 1 winners and discover what they’ve been up to since.

THTH remains popular, and winning the show doesn't guarantee social media fame after appearing at the villa. In fact, some of the most popular THTH cast members on Instagram never won the show. However, THTH season 1 was different in the way that most cast members split the prize money, whereas subsequent seasons had one or two winners take home the entire prize. Therefore, THTH season 1 saw Bryce Hirschberg, Chloe Veitch, David Birtwistle, Francesca Farago, Harry Jowsey, Kelz Dyke, Lydia Clyma, Nicole O’Brien, Rhonda Paul, and Sharron Townsend all crowned the winners. Since Harry and Francesca were the first couples asked to stand up, they are considered the real winners of THTH season 1.

Are Harry Jowsey & Francesca Farago Still Together?

Harry and Francesca left THTH as a couple but are no longer together. Their breakup was highly publicized, and both took stabs at each other. Francesca claimed that Harry cheated with Madison, another contestant from THTH season 1. Harry and Francesca had a tumultuous relationship timeline, and the famous THTH pair had called it quits by the summer of 2021. By then, the pair had broken up and reconciled at least twice.

Harry was later linked with THTH season 3 alum Georgia Hassarati, with whom he has also had a rocky relationship. After Georgia won Perfect Match season 1, she was a guest on Harry's podcast, and the pair hit it off. While they broke up and reconnected in 2022 but have since broken up again for good. Harry is hosting his podcast and maintains his influencing business online, and remains one of the most popular alums of THTH.

What Is Francesca Up To Since THTH Season 1?

Francesca went on to become the villain of Perfect Match season 1 in 2023. During her appearance on the show, she reconnected with Love is Blind's Damian Powers, with whom she shared a rumored flirtation before his appearance on Perfect Match and before he had broken up with Giannina Gibelli. While Francesca connected with multiple people on Perfect Match, she ultimately chose to depart and started dating TikTok star Jesse Sullivan. Francesca and Jesse got engaged in May. She owns a clothing line called Farago and continues her modeling and influencing career.

The winners of Too Hot To Handle season 1 were able to build great carers after appearing on the hit Netflix series. For the contestants who didn’t win, they were still able to learn more about themselves and why they’re so drawn to hook-up culture, which is a prize on its own. While they had to split their earnings with other contestants, Harry and Francesca's fame has survived.
