Love Island All Stars 2026 winners revealed after drama-filled All Stars series
love island all stars 2026 concluded with Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies crowned winners following a public vote. The pair were announced by host Maya Jama during Monday's live final after six weeks of drama, grafting and recoupling.
Winners and prize money
Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies took the top spot and picked up the £50, 000 cash prize. The pair, who have been "exclusive" as a couple in the villa for a while, looked shocked when they were announced as winners. Samie looked shocked when Maya Jama announced she'd won with Ciaran.
Final five placements
The final featured five couples. Millie Court and Zac Woodworth finished second; Scott van-der-Sluis and Leanne Amaning came third. Lucinda Strafford and Sean Stone placed fourth, with Whitney Adebayo and Yamen Sanders finishing fifth. Only two of the six American bombshells who entered made the final, including second-place Zac who hit it off with series seven winner Millie straight away.
Villa drama and delay
The series survived a delayed start because of South African wildfires and an invasion from American bombshells. Host Maya Jama crowned the couple during the live final after six weeks that involved grafting and recoupling. Samie and Ciaran join previous winners Molly Smith and Tom Clare, and Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman, in the Love Island: All Stars hall of fame.

Ciaran, who is from south Wales, described Samie as "a bit of me", while Samie said none of the other male contestants "touched the sides compared to Ciaran". The pair will be hoping their futures match Molly and Tom, who are now engaged, rather than Gabby and Casey who split up not long after their 2025 win.
Tarot predictions and leak claims
A separate claim suggested the winners had been "leaked" just hours before the live final. Celebrity astrologer Inbaal Honigman, speaking on behalf of OLBG, had predicted which couple would take the crown based on a Tarot reading. Inbaal said: "The Tarot cards predict more heartache than wedding cake. " She added that "every single card that comes up for the final five couples is either a Pentacles card or a Swords card. " The commentary noted Pentacles are associated with practicality, stability and material matters rather than passion, while Swords are linked to overthinking and suspicion. Inbaal tipped Scott and Leanne for the crown, saying the Princess of Disks card points to a grounded, family-oriented connection built on comfort and familiarity. Millie and Zac were predicted to finish as runners-up; the 8 of Disks was described as "a card of growth" and said the pair were "learning to become more balanced with each other. " Inbaal added: "They are predicted to come second, but more importantly, their relationship could survive in the wild for a while. " The piece noting the predictions said viewers would soon find out whether the Tarot had got it right — or if the show would deliver one last surprise twist.
Audience and format notes
Love Island's popularity seemed to rise again last year, credited in part to the success of the US version and a jump in social media interest. Last year, ITV told Newsbeat streams on ITVX were up 9% year on year, and figures from TikTok show one million people followed Love Island's official account in 2025. Producers were keen to capitalise on that for the latest All Stars, which saw six American bombshells enter in their own Casa Amor villa halfway through. Love Island superfan Georgia Blue, 30, said: "I think it was just such a great idea, especially off the back of Love Island USA doing so well last year. "
