Love Island Final arrives with split betting markets and seven couples left
With the love island final days away, seven couples remain in the All Stars villa and bookmakers and public voting point to different favourites for the £50, 000 prize.
Seven couples still in the villa
There are seven couples left: Belle and Harrison; Samie and Ciaran; Tommy and Jessy; Scott and Leanne; Sean and Lucinda; Zac and Millie; and Yamen and Whitney. The series has included tense feuds, surprise reunions, American arrivals and an occasional couple swap, and one pairing has gone official after Sean asked Lucinda to be his girlfriend.
Bookmakers split over the favourites
Betting markets offer conflicting pictures of who might win. One set of odds places Lucinda and Sean at 6/4 as the current favourites, with Millie and Zac second at 13/8 and Samie and Ciaran at 9/2. A bookmaker’s market published for the evening’s final instead lists Leanne Amaning and Scott van-der-Sluis as the front-runners at 7/4, Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies at 5/2, Millie Court and Zac Woodworth at 11/4, Lucinda Strafford and Sean Stone at 11/4 after a drift in the betting, and Whitney Adebayo and Yamen Sanders at 16/1.
William Hill spokesperson on the market shift
A William Hill spokesperson, Lee Phelps, said: “Ahead of this evening’s Love Island: All Stars final, Leanne Amaning and Scott van-der-Sluis are favourites to win the series. They head the betting at 7/4, closely followed by Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies, who are 5/2 and Millie Court and Zac Woodworth who are slightly bigger at 11/4. Lucinda Strafford and Sean Stone had appeared popular with the public but are now out to 11/4 for victory after questions over how genuine their connection is. Whitney Adebayo and ex-Love Island USA contestant Yamen Sanders are outsiders at 16/1. ” All odds were noted as subject to change and were correct at the time of writing.
Public reaction and villa drama tied to the favourites
Lucinda and Sean have also been the public’s recent favourite couple, but Lucinda has faced backlash from fans and fellow Islanders. A tense feud with Belle escalated after Lucinda forged a connection with Sean while Belle was away in Villa USA; the row intensified when Belle later got to know Scott, who had been coupled with Leanne, and Lucinda called Belle a "hypocrite. " The reports say the dust has somewhat settled between the women, allowing Lucinda and Sean to focus on their relationship.
Who might miss the finale and when the final airs
There are usually five couples in the finale, so one forecast based on current odds suggests Harrison and Belle, and Tommy and Jessy could be the next to leave the villa if the public gets the chance to vote. The grand finale of Love Island: All Stars will take place live on Monday 23 February at 9pm on ITV2, when Maya Jama will crown the winning couple of the series.
The 2026 edition of Love Island All-Stars continues on ITV2 and ITVX, and planners have indicated that Maya Jama will be back to host the show.
Expect final betting prices to shift before the live vote and for producers and contestants to prepare for the live broadcast on Monday 23 February at 9pm when the winner of the £50, 000 prize will be revealed.
