Love Island All Stars Finalists Revealed After Brutal Dumping and Pre‑Final ‘Leak’
The Love Island All Stars finale aired on Monday, February 23, 2026, at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX, and finished amid a late dumping that reshaped the final line‑up and a Tarot reading that many treated as a pre‑final leak. The outcome matters now because a returning group of ex‑Islanders forced a last‑minute elimination and bookmakers and punters reacted to contrasting signals from betting markets and a celebrity astrologer.
Love Island All Stars final: Maya Jama, South African villa and £50, 000 prize
The third series climaxed in the South African villa with Maya Jama hosting the live final for the £50, 000 prize. One preview suggested the top five couples would star in the ITV finale, but the televised climax instead featured six couples: Lucinda and Sean; Samie and Ciaran (also spelled Sammie in some coverage); Leanne and Scott; Harrison and Belle; Millie and Zac (also spelled Zack in some coverage); and Whitney and Yamen.
Shaq, Curtis, Kyra, Jack and Imani return and Jessy and Tommy dumped
Days before the grand final, former contestants Shaq, Curtis, Kyra, Jack and Imani returned to the villa with a specific mission: to decide which remaining couple was least compatible. That intervention led directly to the dumping of Jessy and Tommy, who were ejected from the competition and thereby lost their chance at the crown.
Betting markets: Lucinda and Sean shorten to 2/1 as bookmakers push offers
Bookmakers stirred the pre‑final market. Odds published by Oddschecker and William Hill positioned Lucinda and Sean as the betting favorites, with odds as short as 2/1, while Millie and Zac were listed close behind. Firms including Betfair, William Hill and bet365 promoted special sign‑up bonuses and free bets for viewers placing wagers on the outcome. The short odds produced visible online debate, with fans voicing support for underdogs and urging other outcomes.
Inbaal Honigman’s Tarot predicts Scott and Leanne; Millie and Zac tipped second
Celebrity astrologer Inbaal Honigman, speaking on behalf of OLBG, delivered a Tarot reading that many interpreted as a pre‑final “leak. ” In her reading not a single Cups card—cards associated with romance—appeared for the finalists; every card drawn fell into either the Pentacles (Disks) group, tied to practicality and material matters, or the Swords group, associated with overthinking and suspicion. Her interpretation singled out the Princess of Disks for Scott and Leanne, portraying their connection as grounded and family‑oriented rather than passionate, and named the 8 of Disks for Millie and Zac, suggesting a late public‑vote surge and a second‑place finish with a relationship able to “survive in the wild for a while. ” She summed the reading as predicting “more heartache than wedding cake. ”
Villa USA twist, American contestants and Luca Bish’s cricket anecdote
The series included the Villa USA twist—the first time stars from the US version entered the South African villa. Most of the American participants were voted off before the finale, leaving only Millie’s partner Zac and Whitney’s partner Yamen among the final contenders as the program reached its conclusion. Former contestant Luca Bish reflected on the day‑to‑day reality inside the villa, recalling a noisy cricket that interrupted sleep and prompted staff to search with ladders; contestants eventually used earplugs. Luca’s subsequent comment about the Villa USA twist is incomplete and unclear in the provided context.
What makes this notable is how multiple pressure points converged in the final 48 hours: a returning panel of ex‑Islanders produced an immediate elimination, bookmakers shortened odds and promoted offers that concentrated public attention, and a high‑profile Tarot reading presented a competing narrative that some treated as a leak. Those forces combined to shape viewer expectations heading into the live final.
