Love Island All Stars 2026 winners revealed after drama-filled final
The live final of love island all stars 2026 ended with Maya Jama crowning Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies the winners, a public-vote victory that brought them a £50, 000 cash prize and capped six weeks of recoupling and confrontation.
Maya Jama crowns Samie and Ciaran
Maya Jama presented the live final and named Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies the top couple after the public vote. The pair, who had been "exclusive" in the villa for a while, looked shocked when they were announced winners of the third series of Love Island: All Stars.
Final placings, prize and runner-up plans
Samie and Ciaran picked up the £50, 000 cash prize. Millie Court and her partner Zac Woodworth finished second, Scott van-der-Sluis and Leanne Amaning finished third, Lucinda Strafford and Sean Stone came fourth, and Whitney Adebayo and Yamen Sanders finished fifth. When asked what was next, Samie said the couple had planned a weekend in Wales with Barry Island top of their list; Ciaran, who is from south Wales, described Samie as "a bit of me, " and Samie said none of the other male contestants "touched the sides compared to Ciaran. "
Delayed start, US bombshells and Casa Amor shake-up
The series survived a delayed start because of South African wildfires and an invasion from American bombshells. Producers brought six American bombshells into their own Casa Amor villa halfway through the run; only two of those American entrants made the final, including Zac Woodworth, who hit it off straight away with series seven winner Millie.
Tarot predictions, a leak claim and final-night build-up
A celebrity astrologer, Inbaal Honigman, made public Tarot predictions ahead of the finale and suggested the cards pointed to practicality rather than passion for the final five couples. Inbaal said the reading produced no Cups cards and predicted more "heartache than wedding cake. " The Tarot reading, prepared in collaboration with OLBG, highlighted Pentacles and Swords cards and predicted Scott and Leanne would be crowned champions, describing their bond as grounded and family-oriented. The reading placed Millie and Zac as likely runners-up, with an 8 of Disks indicating a late push in the public vote and a relationship that "could survive in the wild for a while. " The Daily Star also carried a claim that the winners may have been revealed just hours before the live ITV final; the story said the final was "tonight" at the time of publication.
Viewer interest, platform numbers and on-screen extras
Love Island's popularity appeared to have risen again, helped by the success of the US version and a jump in social media interest. ITV said streams on streaming service ITVX were up 9% year on year, and TikTok figures showed one million people had followed Love Island's official account in 2025. The -run story noted producers were keen to capitalise on that interest for the All Stars run, which included the Villa USA twist; Millie told host Maya in the final, "Villa USA was the best experience for me and I found this one.
