On Monday night, host Maya Jama returned to the South African villa for the last time this series, bringing fans all the action live as the winners were revealed.
The final five couples competing for the crown were Grace Jackson and Luca Bish, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard, Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman, Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame, and Elma Pazar and Sammy Root.
Viewers took to social media to share their reactions as the Love Island: All Stars winners were officially crowned. One user expressed their shock, saying: "I will never understand the British public did we watch the same show???"
While some users were happy with the result as one user said: "Thank god Grace didn’t win" while another said: "So pleased restored my faith that it wasn’t fixed."
The final came after a tense elimination on Sunday night, which saw Ronnie Vint and Harriett Blackmore booted from the villa in a brutal dumping. Former Islanders made a surprise return to deliver some harsh home truths and decide which couple wouldn’t make it to the final.
In dramatic scenes, Harriett and Ronnie received the most votes, along with some savage parting words from their fellow contestants. Elma Pazar and Sammy Root, as well as Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame, also faced the risk of elimination at the last hurdle.
Following their exit, Ronnie and Harriett didn’t hold back their frustrations, determined to prove the Islanders wrong. Speaking on The Morning After podcast, hosted by Amy Hart, Ronnie revealed he would have chosen Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard to leave, claiming they were "playing a game" to stay in the villa. "I would have gone Ekin and Curtis," he said, with Harriett backing him up.
