Love Island Vote: Lucinda and Sean Emerge Betting Favourite as All Stars Finale Nears

Bookmakers now list Lucinda and Sean as the frontrunners to win, and the public love island vote is expected to be decisive with the series finale days away. The outcome will determine which couple walks away with the £50, 000 prize and whether the All Stars formula has staying power.

Lucinda and Sean

Lucinda and Sean are the current betting favourites at odds of 6/4 and were most recently voted the "favourite couple" by the public. The pair have moved from controversy to commitment after Sean asked Lucinda to be his girlfriend and the couple made their relationship official. That track has not been smooth: Lucinda has faced backlash during the run, including a tense feud with Belle that began after Lucinda spent time getting to know Sean while Belle was away in Villa USA. The argument later widened when Belle got to know Scott, who was coupled with Leanne, and Lucinda accused Belle of being a "hypocrite. " The dust has somewhat settled and the couple are now concentrating on their partnership.

Millie and Zac; Samie and Ciaran

Behind Lucinda and Sean, Millie and Zac sit as second favourites at 13/8, while Samie and Ciaran are third in the betting at 9/2. There are seven couples left in the villa: Belle and Harrison, Samie and Ciaran, Tommy and Jessy, Scott and Leanne, Sean and Lucinda, Zac and Millie, and Yamen and Whitney. Bookmakers have provided a full odds list, though that list is not included here.

Love Island Vote

Historically there are usually five couples in the finale, and that structure informs expectations this week: based on current odds it is likely that Harrison and Belle, and Tommy and Jessy will be among the next couples to leave if the public gets the chance to decide. The public love island vote, combined with these betting positions, is shaping predictions for who will face the live finale and contest the £50, 000 prize.

Maya Jama and Finale Date

Host Maya Jama has been confirmed to crown the winning couple. The timing of the live grand finale is unclear in the provided context: one schedule lists the final taking place live on Monday 23 February at 9pm on ITV2, while another account says the final of the third series takes place on Monday (February 20) evening, with Maya Jama announcing the winner then. Love Island: All Stars continues to air Sunday to Friday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Casey O'Gorman on All Stars future

The future of Love Island: All Stars has been cast into doubt by comments from former contestant Casey O'Gorman. Casey, who won the second All Stars series with partner Gabby Allen but split from her weeks after leaving the villa in South Africa, has said he thinks the current series could be the last. He has appeared on the franchise multiple times: first on the ninth series in 2023, then returning for All Stars series one in 2024, All Stars series two in 2025 and Love Island Games later that year — four appearances in total.

Speaking on behalf of Free Bets, Casey said, "I personally think this will be the last series. " He argued that bringing Americans into the line-up has changed the dynamic, and that some All Stars from the first five series originally declined the first All Stars because they felt they were too old; those same people are unlikely to return for a fourth series when they will be three or four years older, he said, creating a recruitment challenge for future casts. Casey has ruled out a fifth return himself, stating, "My Love Island days are done. I've hung my boots up because I won the last season but that's not to say that I wouldn't do other TV shows, whether that maybe dating or more non-dating show. "

He also reflected on Love Island Games, describing it as unlike a normal season: it was highly challenge-focused, with competitors spending seven or eight hours doing challenges that left little opportunity to talk to potential partners or build relationships. "It was tough. It was different and not as enjoyable experience, " he said.

What makes this notable is how format changes and participant decisions feed directly into the show's future: if established All Stars are reluctant to return and viewers shift how they vote, the producers may face real limits on renewing the series. For now, the immediate outcome rests with the public and the impending live show, which will determine who leaves the villa with the prize and how the All Stars story will be framed going forward.
