You’ve already binged the first few episodes of Too Hot To Handle’s second season and can’t wait for the rest to drop on June 30th. The steamy romance will continue in Turks and Caicos, and you’ll finally get to see whether or not the season two crowd can keep it together long enough to win. And, of course, you’ll get more footage of all your fave couples and maybe-sorta-potentially couples.
Quick season one refresher: Too Hot To Handle follows a group of young, sexy people from all around the world who are given what they think is a just-for-fun trip to Mexico (not unlike ABC's Bachelor in Paradise). But, once they arrive, the contestants are told—by cone-shaped AI robot named Lana—that sexual contact of any kind, including kissing and solo action, isn’t allowed. Anyone who violates the rules will lose the whole group money and may even miss out on their chance to win any part of the $100,000 cash prize. Some of the THTH cast struggle with this sexually-frustrating feat (Harry, Francesca, Chloe), while others stay single and leave (Haley, Matthew, Kory). Ultimately, the retreat's personal development workshops do the trick and everyone splits the cash prize equally.
But where does the original season one THTH squad stand now? (And seriously, whatever happened to Francesca and Harry?) If you can’t wait to find out, here are all the Too Hot To Handle cast’s Instagrams, so you can see exactly what these sexy singles are up to these days (and do all the cyberstalking your heart desires).
1
Francesca Farago
Age: 27
Too Hot To Handle's Francesca is from Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada, but goes back and forth between there and Los Angeles. According to her Instagram (which, now has over 5.4 million followers, btw!), she likes to live a plant-based lifestyle. (FYI: She was vegan while filming THTH.)
And get this: Francesca only follows 264 people on Instagram, including five of her fellow Too Hot To Handle castmates Kori, Bryce, David, Sharron, and Kelz.
Sadly, she and Harry have broken up for good. After calling off their on-again-off-again for the last time, Francesca started dating Demi Sims from The Only Way is Essex in January. Things seemed to be going well—they even moved in together after a month!—but they split, too, in May. Things got kind of messy (and public), so Francesca is laying low and focusing on her sustainable swimwear brand, Farago The Label, for now.

Harry Jowsey
Age: 24
An Australian native, Harry currently lives in LA and says on his Instagram that he was "made in a test tube." No explanation on what, exactly, that means, but his over 3.6 million followers don't seem to mind the mystery.
He and Francesca aren’t together anymore (sad!), but Harry seems to be doing just fine on his own. Now, he has his hands full with his sunglasses brand, Kensngtn, and his clothing line, Naughty Possums (sound familiar?). He also has a podcast called Tap In,
where he spills all the THTH tea with his fellow costars. Oh, and he has an OnlyFans, too, nbd.
On another note, Harry still follows THTH cast mates Chloe, David, Sharron, and Matthew, but not Rhonda, Haley, Kelz, or Madison on IG. Interesting!

Chloe Veitch
Age: 22
A native of Essex, UK, Chloe is a model who even competed on the UK’s Top Model. She seems to have a thing for posing in underwear, if her Instagram is any indication.
As for her stint on Too Hot To Handle, Chloe posted after the show premiered that she's been pretty overwhelmed by the love from fans: "I just want to take this time and say thank you for such an amazing response from everyone all over the world!" Awww.
She recently hit 1.6 million followers on IG, which is kiiinda a big deal. (Congrats, Chlo!) When it comes to her castmates, Chloe still follows pretty much all of them except Kelz and Harry.
Chloe also leveled up and joined the cast of Netflix’s The Circle, where she made it all the way to the top two. Next, she’ll be hosting Extra Hot, a THTH companion series on Netflix. Go, Chlo!

Haley Cureton
Age: 23
A Florida native, Haley loves to post pics of herself in bikinis on Instagram (as you can see, hah). She also recently got herself a Fashion Nova partnership, just like her good friend Fran.
Worth noting: She doesn't follow that many of her cast mates on Insta (awk), but she did give Francesca, Madison, and Kori the follow back. She doesn't follow Harry (and vice versa), so guess their bit of Francesca-related drama carried into life IRL.
After the show, Haley returned to The University of North Florida. Now, she’s focusing on living the influencer lifestyle.
5
Rhonda Paul
Age: 28
Georgia native Rhonda doesn’t share many personal deets beyond a few pics with her son and one post with a mystery man on Instagram, but she’s open for "for bookings," JIC you were wondering. She also snagged a Fashion Nova partnership, like a few of her fellow costars.
When it comes to who she's stayed close with post-filming, Rhonda still follows *all* of the other cast members, even Sharron. Guess that means she's a #nodrama kind of gal since Rhonda and Sharron broke up after THTH.
"Unfortunately, we are not [together]," she previously told Women's Health in an interview. "We are the best of friends; we still do talk, as far as helping each other out, talking to each other, and things like that." She said their breakup was "due to long distance." (Been there.)
Rhonda’s been drama-free and focused on her family. Love that for her!

Sharron Townsend
Age: 26
New Jersey native Sharron notes on Instagram that he starred in the music video for the hit song “Shea Butter baby.” He also started the Today I Smiled Project, which “was created to spread love within the world through performing a random act of kindness for a person.” Aww
According to Rhonda, Sharron and his show crush never got to meet up outside of the show. "It's been very difficult with that space between us," she told Women's Health. "So we kind of just agreed to be friends for now." At least his love affair with suspenders is still going strong.
From the looks of it, cast member Harry has also been commenting some major love on Sharron's pics. On his last one, Harry wrote, "this is sick bro." So it seems like a lasting friendship has formed there. Or maybe Sharron's just much loved, since the only cast members who don't follow him are Haley and Francesca.

David Birtwistle
Age: 31
London native David has his “fingers in many pies,” according to his Instagram. He’s a movement and nutrition coach, a producer, a presenter, and a magazine contributor, plus a Nike ambassador (impressive!).
Based on who follows him and who he follows back, it seems like he's on pretty ~good~ terms with all the dudes on the show, at least. (Bless those bromances!)
And speaking of bromance, as fans know, David and Sharron definitely found love for each other while on THTH. In an IG post about Sharron, David wrote, "An absolute legend and I couldn’t stop laughing but what made us closer, was that we both shared our vulnerabilities and weaknesses with each other. There was no facade or BS. We were always straight talking and open and so when times got a little tougher, we were able to talk it through and move on without any issues." Um, how cute is he?!
And if you can't get enough of David's Instagram, check out his reviews of every Too Hot To Handle episode on YouTube. Want some workout inspo, too? David's posting allll his fav exercises on his account.

Kelz
Age: 29
Kelz is from London and is now a professional athlete! He plays for the London Warriors American football team in South London. He currently follows everyone except Bryce, Haley, and Rhonda on Instagram.
Being on the show has also boosted his follower count to more than 645,000, which he's soaking up by doing lots of Q&A's and posting allll the shirtless pics the internet can handle. In an Instagram story, he also said that he "would've kissed Francesca" but that he "didn't think it was worth 3k." Gotta respect a frugal fella.
Kelz is totally embracing the influence lifestyle and is even a little bit of a foodie, now. Who knew?
9
Nicole O'Brien
Age: 25
Nicole is from Cork, Ireland, but she currently lives in London, according to Instagram. She’s a reality star turned pop star, as her Instagram bio includes her latest single, “Call It Love.” (Love that for her!)
Nicole follows everyone from the THTH cast except Francesca and Rhonda. Guess that means she’s still cool with most of the sexy singles. In an IG post, she also called Chloe her "main girl." She even posted a hilarious "flipped the switch" video with castmate David. So it looks like she came out of the show with a little bit of cash and some new friends!

Matthew Smith
Age: 31
Matthew is from Colorado and now lives in Los Angeles. He’s an actor, author, and "creative mind," according to his Instagram. Also, his IMDB profile says that he's appeared on multiple TV shows, including New Girl, Stitchers, Face Off, and America's Next Top Model. (So, maybe Tyra rooted for him on THTH?) He also "produces and edits all his own work." Got it.
He also has a pretty big TikTok account with over 11,000 followers, where he posts a mix of funny videos and thirst traps. A good combo, if you ask me.
And a quick PSA: Matthew is followed by everyone from the cast except for Francesca and Haley. Guess their on-show drama lasted post-filming.
Btw, in an Instagram post he wrote, "The no jerking off thing was really getting kinda tough..." (In case you were wondering why he chose to leave.)
11
Bryce Hirschberg
Age: 31
Bryce lives in Los Angeles and is an actor. He also plugged a movie, Counterfeiters, which he apparently made in 2018 in his profile. So... that's kind of #cool I guess. (It is free to stream on YouTube during quarantine, in case you wanna watch.)
He posted a pic with all the guys on the show saying, "I found love," which lol. Also, he's followed by literally the entire THTH cast, so it seems Bryce made a lot of new friends to join him on his boat.
Now, he’s releasing a bunch of music under the name “Bryc”—the link to listen is here, if you’re curious, including his new single, “Body.”

Lydia Clyma
Age: 23
Lydia is keeping herself super busy lately. She’s a mom to her son Isiah and working as an influencer, including modeling for makeup brands. She’s also doing YouTube videos, if you missed seeing her face on your TV screen.
According to her Instagram bio, Lydia is living in London and works as a "TV and Social Media Presenter" (not entirely sure what that job entails... but okay). She's also doing YouTube videos, if you missed seeing her face on your TV screen.
While Lydia was late to the THTH party, she's followed by everyone in the cast except for Haley, Francesca, and Kelz. In a post about the show, she wrote: "I'm so excited (and nervous) to be able to share this special journey with you all, that taught me so much about myself over the past year. You'll see me laugh and cry, with my closest friends from all over the world." Seems like there's #noregrets here.

Kori Sampson
Age: 25
Kori is a model living in the UK. He's also started his own fitness brand and blog called "Lean Lifestyle."
By the looks of his Instagram, Kori is only followed by Harry. Kinda weird, but not totally surprising given the drama he caused on the show.
Still, he, like the rest of the cast, is now #verified with over 820,000 followers and brand partnerships to prove it, so it’s not like he’s really hurting for fans these days.
14
Madison Wyborny
Age: 23
Madison is a model based in Los Angeles. According to her IG pics, she's traveled to just about everywhere in the world for her job (same, JK).
While she has over 176,000 followers as it is, when it comes to the THTH crew, she’s followed just by Harry. But she’s also posted pretty much nothing about being on the show—so, weird both ways.
