After a season of couplings, uncouplings, bombshells and major tears, Julia and Lorenzo have been crowned the winners of Love Island 2026.
Shock dumping
The final episode began with a shock as couple Tommy Stagg and Yasmin Hadlow were booted from the villa. This left couples Jasmine Muller and Kavan Murphy, Lorenzo Alessi and Julia Marjchrzak, and Angelista Gunda and Simba Kudyiwa as the finalists.
It was a tense start thanks to a new twist: booted couple Micah and Samraj were allowed to pick one couple to leave with them. Tommy and Yasmin revealed they were 'ready to go on into the outside world'.
Third place
Angelista and Simba came in third place, much to the disappointment of viewers. This left Jasmine and Kavan or Julia and Lorenzo to be announced as the winners.
Maya's reunion
Islanders past and present were reunited in the villa as Maya Jama caught up with axed pairs and asked the finalists about their hopes. Maya spoke with Scot contestant Ellie, who previously decided to leave to follow partner Finley Maddock.
Despite her shock exit, Ellie and Finley revealed they 'couldn't be happier'. Ellie plans to bring Finley to her hometown West Lothian, hoping her friends and family will warm to him.
