Love Island: All Stars Winners Announced
This article contains spoilers for the Love Island: All Stars final.
After overcoming a delayed start caused by wildfires in South Africa and the arrival of American bombshells, the winners of Love Island: All Stars have been revealed.
Host Maya Jama crowned the winning couple during the live final on Monday, concluding six weeks filled with drama, effort, and recoupling.
Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies secured the top position following a public vote, earning the £50,000 cash prize.
Previous Love Island winner Millie Court and her partner Zac Woodworth finished in second place, while Scott van-der-Sluis and Leanne Amaning took third.
Samie and Ciaran, who had been "exclusive" as a couple in the villa for some time, appeared surprised when their victory was announced.
"We’ve got a weekend planned in Wales," Samie said when asked about their next steps, adding that Barry Island, a tourist spot featured in Gavin and Stacey, was at the top of their list.
Ciaran, originally from south Wales, described Samie as "a bit of me," while she remarked that none of the other male contestants "touched the sides compared to Ciaran."
The couple joins Molly Smith and Tom Clare, as well as Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman, in the Love Island: All Stars hall of fame.
They will be hoping their future aligns with Molly and Tom, who are now engaged, rather than Gabby and Casey, who separated shortly after their 2025 win.
The final on ITV2 also saw Lucinda Strafford and Sean Stone finish fourth, with Whitney Adebayo and Yamen Sanders in fifth place.
Love Island's popularity appeared to increase last year, boosted by the success of the US version of the show and a rise in social media engagement.
Producers aimed to capitalize on this momentum for the latest All Stars series, which featured six American bombshells entering their own Casa Amor villa midway through the season.
Only two of these American contestants reached the final, including second-place Zac, who quickly connected with series seven winner Millie.
"Villa USA was the best experience for me and I found this one," Millie told host Maya during the final.
Filming for the series was postponed in January when the South African villa was evacuated due to nearby wildfires.
"Health and safety is our greatest priority and will always come first, and therefore the transmission of Love Island: All Stars will be delayed until a date to be confirmed," the show stated on Instagram at the time.
ITV also used the All Stars final to announce that the main show will return for its 13th series in Mallorca this summer.
A source informed The Sun that Maya Jama, who took over hosting duties from Laura Whitmore in 2023, will also return as host.
