Love Island Vote: Finalists Revealed After Brutal Dumping Ahead of Live Finale
The latest twists in the Love Island All Stars run-up have intensified the love island vote conversation as finalists were confirmed following a dramatic dumping triggered by returning contestants. With the live finale set for Monday and a £50, 000 prize on offer, fan opinion and betting markets are already converging on favourites and underdogs.
Finalists confirmed for the All Stars finale
The remaining couples still in contention for the All Stars title are Lucinda and Sean, Samie and Ciaran, Leanne and Scott, Harrison and Belle, Millie and Zac, and Whitney and Yamen. Jessy and Tommy were eliminated in a recent twist and will not take part in the final push to win the prize.
Love Island Vote: Who's tipped to win
Bookmakers have set Lucinda and Sean as the current favourites, with quoted odds placing them ahead of other pairs. Samie and Ciaran, Millie and Zac, and Whitney and Yamen follow in the market rankings. The presence of these odds has shaped much of the public debate around the love island vote and who should lift the trophy.
Villa bombshell and the returning contestants
A dramatic instalment aired on Friday (Feb 20) when a set of previous contestants—Shaq, Curtis, Kyra, Jack, and Imani—made a surprise return to the garden. Those returning Islanders were asked to decide which surviving couple they regarded as the most mismatched, a task that contributed to the exit of Jessy and Tommy and sharpened tensions inside the villa ahead of the final.
Presenter, location and prize for the live final
The finale is scheduled to take place this Monday (February 23), broadcasting at 9pm on the broadcaster’s channel and streaming service. Presenter Maya Jama will host the finale live from the South African villa. The victorious pair will take home a £50, 000 prize.
Viewer backlash and social reaction around the love island vote
Many viewers have expressed reluctance at the prospect of Lucinda and Sean winning, with sizeable sections of the audience calling for alternatives such as Belle or other couples. Comments shared on social platforms urged different outcomes—some fans said they would prefer Belle to win to unsettle other contestants, while others named Samie and Ciaran or Millie and Zac as preferred winners. This pushback is a prominent factor in the broader love island vote conversation.
Past winners and current relationship updates
Last year's programme crowned Casey O'Gorman and Gabby Allen as winners; that pair have since parted ways. Champions of the original 2024 All Stars series, Molly Smith and Tom Clare, remain together.
