In a surprise to few, Love Island fans are saying that Jasmine and Lorenzo would have won in a landslide had they been together by the final.

"No the crown is theirs. carried the season and lorenzo is in love with Jasmine," said one fan.

Another wrote: "lets be real, if jasrenzo were in the finale they would be winning this shit 50% + on the votes"

Sharing her reaction to Love Island's final, Whitney Adebayo said she thought the show was "rigged".

She posted a picture of Simba and Angelista, who came third and wrote over the top: "I think I've seen this beore... rigged."

Are you ready for another one?

All Stars is expected to return in January, so if what you want is to see Islanders past scream, kiss and frolick around a villa, its not a long wait. If you want another regular round, series 14 will happen again next year - and you could be in it!

Casting is open so if you think you could be an Islander, head to ITV and apply.

Julia and Lorenzo have won Love Island! The two have been fan favourites since they returned from Casa Amor.

This was largely due to a love for Lorenzo, who won over the nation when cried after Tommy left the villa, and because Julia was in a feud with Lola.

The two previously won favourite couple. After winning the whole thing, Julia said she wanted Lorenzo to move in with her.

Jasmine, 28, has said she "never notices" the age gap between her and Kavan, 21. She admitted that sometimes there would be arguments and people would say "that's his age", but she never thought of it that way.

The OG islander also addressed Aidan's flirtiness with her sister, Bella. "I'm not sure I want you with Bella," she said. "I want something else for her."

Turns out Lorenzo loved to talk about his dream girl 'Saskia' - a blonde with a European accent.

"We got to Casa and the boys joked, 'She could be in there'," Lorenzo laughed.

"And here I am!" Julia shouted.

He later said he didnt think he'd find someone "so well-matched" to him.

Angelista and Simba, after a rocky beginning, said they loved each other, and now they're in third place!

"I didn't think I'd be here," Angelista admitted.

How many people in the UK have the last name Murphy? Because as the 2026 season's recap has aired during the final, it seems like half of them have entered the villa at some point.

First we had Aidan, then his brother Kavan. Third was Tommy Murphy (not a relation) and finally Charleen (definitely not a relation, as she dated Kavan).

The vote has frozen and third place is locked in, but who will it be?

My guess is Jasmine and Kavan, but you never know!

Yasmin: "Oh my god, it was a plot twist. I was very surprised about what happened. But to be honest, it was the right decision out of all the couples that were remaining. It was the right decision.

"So I wasn't surprised as soon as we got that text. Even when we were sat at the fire pit and the ex islanders came in, I knew that there might be a possibility that we were going home. So as soon as the text came through, I knew it would be us leaving and I was quite at ease with it. I think I was ready to go."

Tommy: "Obviously yesterday was quite a surprise, I think, for everyone in terms of not just one dumping, but two. After Mica and Samraj left, we were sort of all sitting around the garden and just saying how every single person deserved to be in that final. We were all happy and then the text came through. It was a big shock. But I think we were just ready to go on into the outside world now."

Priya was given the opportunity to address her 'go back to National Rail' comment that she made to Elicia.

She turned to the bombshell and said she was never trying to "job-shame" her. "I was just saying 'go back to your day job, take my name out of your mouth'. It could have been Bank of England, it could have been Boots, I wasn't trying to shame you."

Aidan and Priya were grilled about whether or not they were together after Love Island. They tried to avoid the question, the cheeky pair, but Maya pushed for answer.

Aidan admitted: "We had a little kiss..."

After Mica said it wasn't fun to have to pick another couple to leave, Maya apologised on behalf of ITV producers, saying: "I'm sorry, it wasn't my choice, it was the producers!"

Is this an ick or not? Mica and Samraj have said that they had been saying to each other "I heart you" before they said they loved each other. "But then I was all out of 'I heart you's," Samraj admitted.

Most of us would spend a summer in Majorca trying to get into holiday mode and relax, but Lorenzo had to get himself into gear whilst on Love Island.

He told Maya Jama that as soon as he saw Julia, he was ready to get going again. "I had to get out of holiday mode," he joked.

Even though some former Islanders thought Yasmin and Tommy would win the show, Mica and Samraj decided to send the couple home, meaning they only just missed out on the final.

The pair decided to put their friendships with the Islanders to the back of their minds, as proven by the fact that Yasmin and Mica had a strong friendship.

Yasmin admitted she was shocked that she was sent home as she was left asking: "What the hell just happened?"

Lorenzo was once again left crying over a Tommy leaving the show.

A former Love Island star has revealed just how scripted the ITV dating show which prides itself on helping singletons find true love really is.

Series 11 of the show saw content creator, Joel Kirby, arrive in Casa Amor on Day 28. However, just three days later, the Devon-born influencer was sent packing.

The outspoken star has now lifted the lid on his brief spell on the show."So when I went on, you're only filming for about five hours a day," Joel said. He went on to add: "An hour and a half in the morning, an hour and a half after lunch, and about two hours after dinner."

'Pog mo thoin' seems to be Julia's favourite comeback, but what does it mean?

The phrase is an Irish Gaelic phrase for 'kiss my a**' and has generally been considered cheeky rather than a serious insult.

Having first said it to Lola and now to Sean, Julia introduced the phrase to Love Island, but it was Galway boy Sean who taught it to her. The school teacher admitted after he left the show that he was the reason the Polish bombshell was speaking Gaelic.

Watching this year’s show has brought back plenty of memories, and Millie is loving the girls.

“What I love most this year is the girls,” she says. “They’re sticking together. Even when bombshells come in, they’re not blaming the new girls. They’re holding the boys accountable, and that’s refreshing.”

The Mirror's Jasmine Allday writes: "Another series of Love Island draws to a close and we're still faced with the same issue.

Every May, the promise of a long hot summer watching everyone parade around in bikinis arrives in my inbox, on our social media feeds and in the TV adverts between our favourite shows.

I was an avid watcher of the show back in 2017, the iconic third series, which featured the likes of Amber Davies, Chris Hughes, Olivia Attwood, Gabby Allen, Georgia Harrison and Camilla Thurlow, but now I struggle to tune in."

Just before the final, Love Island fans started talking about job-shaming.

Why? Contestant Priya Jaswal had gotten into an argument with Elicia Bailey and told the team organiser to "go back to National Rail".

Priya faced heavy backlash for the comment as many felt it was shaming Elicia for her job and sparked a classism row. Elicia went back on the show to say that she didn't appreciate the comment and was proud of her job and how hard she worked for it.

Cast your mind back to 2015 - Love Island was only on its first season and the nation was turning against Naomi Ball.

The bombshell came in and almost immediately clashed with eventual winner Jess Hayes. But was she really a villain or was someone else to blame?

The two primarily fought over their feelings for Josh Ritchie, especially when Josh dumped Naomi for not being willing to sleep with him.

He then brazenly asked: "Do I now carry on with Jess, get my end away, have a good three-weeks sh*gging, or do I start something with Naomi, where something can be long term and something maybe outside of the villa but not have sex, not have as much of a laugh? It’s a genuine penis/head dilemma."

With a love interest like that, who needs enemies?

If five past Love Island stars are correct, two couples could be battling it out to win the 2026 series on ITV2 on Monday night. But could we have a tie for the first time? Some of this year's cast are betting on it, telling the Mirror who they think will win the show.

When asked who will win the show, Charleen Murphy, Mara Pirez, Ope Sowande, Lola Deal and Sean Fitzgeraldall had their say. They were slightly split, but with the same two couples.

So could we have out first double win, or our first split of the vote? The stars certainly think so, tipping Tommy Stagg and Yasmin Hadlow and Lorenzo Alessi and Julia Majchrzak to be this year's winners.

This time last year, we were crowning Toni Laites and Cach Mercer as the winners of Love Island season 12. Since then, they've been up to a lot!

Toni, alongside pals Shakira Khan and Yasmin Pattet, is now one of the hosts of The Debrief, a new podcast that also airs on ITV, where the three of them discuss this year's season.

Meanwhile, Cach is about to be back on TV, as he's joining Strictly Come Dancing for their re-vamped next series.

It may sometimes seem like people only go on Love Island to become influencers, but the show has consistently created long-lasting relationships and even resulted in some babies! Here's every couple who are still together after Love Island...

Season 2

Cara de la Hoyde and Nathan Massey are now married with two children, but due to a brief break, their co-stars Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen take the crown as the couple to have been together the longest. They are also married with two children.
