Five former Love Island stars have predicted that two couples could tie for the win in the 2026 summer series final on ITV2. The axed contestants shared their verdicts on who will take the title, with a potential first-ever tie in the show's history.
Predictions from Former Islanders
Charleen Murphy, Mara Pirez, Ope Sowande, Lola Deal, and Sean Fitzgerald all gave their opinions. They were slightly split but agreed on the same two couples: Tommy Stagg and Yasmin Hadlow, and Lorenzo Alessi and Julia Majchrzak.
Charleen said Tommy and Yasmin or Lorenzo and Julia would get the votes. Mara backed Julia and Lorenzo, supported by Ope. Lola and Sean favoured Tommy and Yasmin.
Fan Reactions to the Twist
The final twist has frustrated viewers. After Mica Harris and Samraj Toor were dumped by the public, they were told to take another couple with them. Fans speculated that Lorenzo and Julia might be at risk.
One fan posted: “If it’s Lorenzo & Julia, WE ARE PROTESTING.” Another said: “What a twist! They better not pick Julia and Lorenzo, I'll be fuming.” A third added: “Why are dumped islanders being allowed to pick!!! If Julia and Lorenzo get picked it’s a fix!!!!”
One viewer wrote: “Mica and Samraj, do your biggest one and send Julia home, and I’m sorry Lorenzo, but you will be collateral damage.”
Final Details
Love Island's 2026 summer final airs on Monday evening at 9PM on ITV2 and ITVX.
