Love Island All Stars Crown New Champs After Wild Drama and Shocking Twists!

The third series of Love Island: All Stars has come to an end, and the winners have finally been revealed after a season full of surprises and drama. Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies were crowned the champions during Monday's live final, taking home the fifty thousand pound prize. The couple, who have been exclusive for much of their time in the villa, looked genuinely shocked when host Maya Jama announced their victory. The final featured five couples, all dressed up for the occasion, standing together in front of the iconic neon heart outside the villa. The journey to the final was not easy. The show had a delayed start because of wildfires in South Africa, and halfway through, six American contestants joined the cast, bringing new energy and excitement. Only two of the American bombshells made it to the final, including Zac Woodworth, who quickly formed a strong connection with Millie Court. Millie and Zac finished in second place, while Scott van-der-Sluis and Leanne Amaning came third. Lucinda Strafford and Sean Stone finished fourth, and Whitney Adebayo and Yamen Sanders took fifth place.

Samie and Ciaran's win was a big moment for them. Ciaran, who is from south Wales, described Samie as 'a bit of me,' and Samie said that none of the other boys compared to Ciaran. Their relationship grew stronger throughout the series, and now they join the Love Island: All Stars hall of fame alongside previous winners like Molly Smith and Tom Clare, who are now engaged, and Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman, who split up after their win. The show has seen its popularity rise again, especially after the success of the US version last year. ITV reported that streams on ITVX were up nine percent compared to the previous year, and the official Love Island TikTok account gained one million followers in 2025. Fans like Georgia Blue, a dedicated Love Island viewer, said that adding American contestants made the show more interesting and brought fresh surprises. She felt that the series had become a bit repetitive in the past, but this time, the new twists kept things exciting.

The final episode was watched by around 659,000 people on TV, but ITV said that most viewers now watch the show on streaming platforms like ITVX, where it is the most-watched program. The series was streamed 100 million times, showing how popular it remains online. Although the TV viewing numbers were not as high as in previous years, with the 2019 final attracting six million viewers, the total audience is much larger when including online platforms like YouTube and ITVX. ITV also used the All Stars final to announce that the main Love Island show will return for its thirteenth series in Mallorca this summer, with Maya Jama continuing as host. Fans are already looking forward to the next season, hoping for more romance, drama, and unforgettable moments in the villa.
