Culture TV & Radio News Love Island: Winners of £50,000 prize announced as 2023 series ends Who emerged from the villa as this year’s champions?
Moment Maya Jama announces Love Island 2023 winners Support truly independent journalism Our mission is to deliver unbiased, fact-based reporting that holds power to account and exposes the truth. Whether $5 or $50, every contribution counts.Support us to deliver journalism without an agenda.
Find out more After almost two months, Love Island series 10 has come to an end.
The new summer series began on Monday 5 June, with Maya Jama back on hosting duties after she made her debut on the winter edition earlier this year. Jama presented the finale live from the Spanish villa.
This year’s winners were Jess Harding and Sammy Root, who beat favourites Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nawacki to the £50,000 cash prize.
The runners up were Ella Thomas and Tyrique Hyde , who finished in third place, and Molly Marsh and Zach Noble, who came fourth.
Surprised by the news, Sammy told Jama he thought he’d be ejected from the show immediately after being introduced as a bombshell in week one. Harding was part of the original line-up.
The pair had their ups and downs in the villa, but cemented their relationship when Sammy asked Jess to be his girlfriend.
During their “declarations” aired during the finale, Sammy said the moment he knew Jess was the one for himw as when she remained loyal during her time in Casa Amor.
“When I saw you walking towards the fire pit on your own after Casa, I instantly knew that you were all that I wanted – my wandering eye turned into my eye for Jess,” he said.
During the finale, Jess brushed off concerns regarding the revelation that her friends are not so keen on Sammy.
Jama revealed at the end of the finale that the series would be returning, announcing the applications for the next instalment were already open.

Hello, and welcome to The Independent ’s Love Island finale blog!

Ty and Ella, Sammy and Jess, Molly and Zach, and Whitney and Lochan are all competing in this year’s finale, which, going by the viewing ratings for this year’s series, will be the lowest-viewed in years.
Jacob Stolworthy 31 July 2023 21:01
One big hit this series has been Maya Jama – it’s her second series after hosting the winter edition earlier this year. It’ sfair to say, should the show be renewed for another series, Jama will be sticking around.

We’re catching up with the islanders’ final day in the villa. Everyone is very happy so no fights or dramas, unfortunately. Instead, they’re getting “spruced up” for the Love Island ball.
Jacob Stolworthy 31 July 2023 21:07
Judging by Twitter, there’s only one choice for tonight’s winners.
Jacob Stolworthy 31 July 2023 21:11
We’re still on to yesterday’s events, and now we’re seeing each couple make their “declarations” to one another. The more cynical of viewer might want to change channels.

Um, did Big Brother fans just spot this during the adverts?

We’re moments away from finding out who has won this year’s series.
