Original subtitles

For eight unforgettable weeks, they've taken chances, followed their hearts and

even fell in love.

Tonight, four couples become three.

Who will be your Love Island finalists and who will be crowned your winners?

We're about to find out.

Welcome to the Love Island Live Final.

Welcome to the Love Island Live Final!

Please give it up for your host, Maya Jama!

Hello

and

welcome to the Love Island Live Final!

is setting on another incredible summer the villa is lit the vibes are high and

the ex-islanders are over there drinking the bar dry hello guys right last

night mika and sam raj were faced with a tough decision on who would be dumped

next and miss out on a fight and tonight's final so who did they choose

let's find out

Mika and Samraj are dumped, and in a final twist, they've got to pick one

couple to leave with them.

So Mika and Samraj, who do you want to see glaring at you for three hours on

the plane home?

No matter who you choose, they definitely won't be letting you share

their Pringles.

Who am I to choose and decide people's fate?

Obviously, we love everyone there, we can't.

We have to remove friendships and biases.

Look at it from who deserves to be in the final. When people were questioning

Cav and Jasmine, the ex-Irelanders, it pissed me off because do you know how

strong they are? They are.

I think Angie and Simba. Angie and Simba are the same. People talk about Simba's

mistakes. That really is his person. They are inseparable.

They are so perfect for each other. I think those two couples, so it leaves

Yulia Lorenzo and Jasmine and Tommy.

No, this is, like, fucked.

I've never seen, like, two couples, Lorenzo and Yulia, Yaz and Tommy, that

are more suited.

I was doing friendship bias.

I'm closer to Lorenzo. I'm not using that as a factor. I don't think that's

fair for Tommy and Yaz. And you're closer with Yaz, probably.

Yeah. We could easily say Lorenzo and Yulia are only exclusive. Yaz and Tommy

are in love. OK, so Yaz and Tommy win. But the thing is, Lorenzo moves at his

own pace, and I think it means a lot every step. And to be fair, he's like

us. He's never been in a relationship. This is new for him. Yaz and Tommy,

like... it's just plain sailing really it's only now recently about the whole

two weeks thing i know i don't know

okay have

we come to a decision have we locked in our answer yeah lock in yeah

Got a text.

Oh, no more drama, please.

I'm drama-ed out.

Oh, my gosh.

What is it now?

Islanders, before Mika and Samaraj left the villa, they had a big decision to

make.

Oh.

What the hell?

Oh, my God.

Only three couples can make it to the final.

That's nuts.

Oh, God.

They had to pick one couple to dump.

What the hell?

They have chosen...

They

have chosen...

Yasmin and Tommy.

Oh, my baby boy.

I love you.

What the hell?

Love you lots.

Love you.

You're going to do the best ever. I'm rooting for you all. I'm getting all

emotional now.

You know, I saw them.

This has been a long journey with everyone, hasn't it?

Love you lots.

This is getting more brutal and brutal, isn't it?

Fucking hell.

You're a good man, Tommy.

It's just sad that this is all coming to an end, that's all, that you have to say

bye to everyone.

I've lost another Tommy.

Tom.

Tom, please don't cry.

I just don't want to leave you guys.

You've done so well. It feels like I'm leaving you forever.

No, of course not.

No, I know, I know. But it's just like, oh.

That was good.

I love you so much. Love you lots

and lots.

Wish you guys the best of luck.

I'm leaving my home.

I love you guys. We'll see you in the fight.

I love you so much.

I love you. I love you.

What the hell?

I wasn't expecting that.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah.

I'm good.

Oh, fucking hell.

I've got you and that's all I care about.

Why is it so quiet?

This is fucking nuts.

Remember when there was, like, 20 people here?

That's so crazy. Think of Mika and Samaraj, like, standing out there and

making that decision.

What a day.

Like, my head is... It's like a fever dream.

Oh, please.

Please be a good one. Please be a good one. Please be a good one.

Angelista and Simba, Jasmine and Cavan...

Yulia and Lorenzo, congratulations.

Phenomenal Phenomenal yeah, yeah, and Angela so we've seen Simba

right person will follow suit And Jasmine and Calvin obviously you guys

have had a journey in here and I'm down around the corner What does it mean to

be sitting here in the final together?

oh it means everything i feel like what we've been through makes us even more

special and like i wouldn't change it for anything honestly i'm obsessed with

him i got the man i wanted you know yeah uh is jasmine your first baddie kevin i

mean yeah i'm a very lucky man very lucky man the baddie tax was paid yeah

paid and lorenzo i mean at one point i felt like you were on holiday and then

you switched up when did you realize that julia was the one

I guess when I walked in, I sort of looked at Sam Raj and I was like, this

is the girl that we've been dreaming up.

And yeah, she was there and I was like, what the hell?

And then, yeah, I guess that's when I kind of went out of holiday mode and was

like, right, I need to make my intentions clear. And I feel like I did

that. And yeah, it's just been a crazy journey ever since.

Yeah, well, it's been great to watch.

Yulia, Pog Mahone was a moment.

What other sayings have you learned this summer?

Oh, any other sayings? Yeah, did you pick up anything?

Oh, yeah, have I learned anything?

Yeah, like sayings.

I think I've learned no more sayings this summer.

It's just, you know, I've learned to keep my mouth.

No, we don't want your mouth shut.

It's not going to be an open. Oh, is it?

Yeah. All right. Well, it's time for a quick break, but do not go on D&D

because Yasmin and Tommy will come face to face with Samraj and Mika for the

very first time.

Plus the class of 2026 are here and they've got all the goss. So we will see

you in just a little bit.

though it's still open to decide your winner, but first, give it up for Mika

and Samron.

You guys look beautiful in black. Thank you.

It's giving.

Thank you, thank you. So, first question, how does it feel to be in your

first relationship for both of you as well?

It's amazing.

Why did I not do this sooner?

Yeah. No, but it's amazing. I'm so happy with you.

So happy to have met you.

I know. Me too. I said I'm...

It's the first time for both of us, but I'm so grateful my first time's for

Mika. You can have all your firsts together as well. What a lovely thing.

It's so exciting, honestly.

We've got to talk about your journey, because obviously at the beginning,

Samraj, you were well-interested, and then things ended via Mika.

At what point did you realise Samraj was actually the one for you? I felt like it

was... at the sleepover villa i really missed you and i was like i don't know

if i miss him on a friendship kind of thing if it was romantically and i was

like you know i'm just gonna voice that and try to explore that and i'm glad i

did because now we're here best decision yeah and now yeah no i'm so happy and

you're in love that happened i love you for the first time as well

I was involved in that moment.

You've probably said it many times since.

Very, very, a lot of times.

Do you know what we did before? We were in bed and we kept saying, I heart you,

I heart you all the time. And then I thought, you know, I'm out of our

hearties. Yeah, what is I heart you anyway? We're too scared to say I love

you, that's why.

It's the fear.

OK. No, but I'm glad. I want to clarify something because people are talking

about where you live and, like, how you're going to make it work, but you

both live in the UK.

Yeah, I live in London. I've lived there for, like, nearly three years. There we

go. And Barbados is just like a second home. That's just home for me. Right.

Like, that's where I consider home.

I live in London.

Yeah, so easy.

Yeah, I was in Germany for two years, but I was always planning on moving.

And I'm here because they've got more of a reason. Never be a problem anyway.

No. OK, so the way that you guys both left, obviously the Highlanders decided,

and they said that you were the least deserving to have a spot in the final.

How do you feel about that? Are the reasons justified, do you think?

You can say it now, this is the last chance.

The thing is, we thought about it, we've had time to think, and everyone's got

their opinions, and everyone's entitled to their opinions, but we are in a very

happy place.

So we don't hold any grudges, it's all love from our side. And we've got a lot

of love for everyone, and at the end of the day, it's hard, you have to make

hard decisions.

And you guys had to make a hard decision yourselves, didn't you?

We'll get to that in a little moment.

But would you have done anything differently in your time here?

I think everything happens for a reason so we wouldn't be here if we didn't make

mistakes. Yeah, obviously I feel like we should have handled the prayer stitch

better, I love you.

But at the same time I feel like this whole journey has just made me grow so

much and just like discover things I never knew about myself and it's kind of

surreal but like I'm so happy like about

Yeah, just learning all these new things and how to navigate all these crazy

scenarios, situations, and yeah.

Yeah, I think everything happens for a reason.

We made our mistakes, we're not perfect, and everyone says we like to preach. I

mean, nobody gives you a guideline on how to handle Love Island today, and

you're both so young. It's a new experience.

You've got to give people the benefit of the doubt, don't you?

But let's talk about this big decision, because you got kind of put on the spot.

No, that was not fun.

Yeah, I'm sorry. It wasn't my choice, the producers.

How did you come to your decision?

We looked at it like... I always think when you have a hard decision, you

should remove your bias. So I looked at it from a neutral lens and we thought,

we got eight votes, Yasmin and Tommy got seven. I think it was between us two. So

even if we stayed, we probably would have gone if that happened. So we just

thought... We looked at everything, we looked at all the couples and we just

thought... It was hard decision to send any of your friends home, but it has to

be done. I always say every time I leave, when I got dumped the first time,

I got a text.

Got dumped this time, I got another text. So this time I told the producers,

let me fly home now. No more texts.

He's gone, he comes back. He's gone, he comes back.

And now you've left with a girlfriend.

Well, sorry, not girlfriend, a love.

Last time I spoke to you.

Last time I spoke to you.

I don't know anything anyone else knows, but it feels like that. It's very much

going to be that soon.

I mean, what's the hold up?

I'm not going to push you into saying anything else.

Maya. Maya is at the crime scene. Last time I spoke to you, I said I'm in love.

I know. So I thought this time, I've got something to tell you.

Do you know what? I'll link you in a month and I'll say, Marash, when are we

getting married?

OK, well, let's get over to them lot. It's Yasmin and Tommy, everybody.

You've not had much time to decompress I suppose you've seen everybody What have

been your thoughts for the last 24 hours? I suppose. Oh my god. Well wind.

Yeah crazy. Yeah crazy I think we've enjoyed a bit of time together

It's just me and me and yes, so it's been nice

Yeah, this is the first time you've seen them too

So do you have anything to say to each other not on smoke, but just like any I

think like I know how it gets like in the moment You've got to make a

decision. So there's no hard feelings with it. Yeah, we love you guys You're

still my brother we still go beef

Tommy, we've got to talk about it. There's been a lot of talk about your

last relationship, and that was kind of like a last-minute situation.

Do you think that was fair?

Yeah, I think, like, it's my life. I want to put myself first. That's what

I'm going to do, and that's what I've done.

I think I've addressed that, and, yeah, I just want to focus on the future, the

present with Yasmin, and that's all that matters to me. Yeah, amen to that.

And, Yas, you are completely at peace with all of it as well? Yeah, I feel

like I was always...

I mean, you were open with me very early on, even in Casa.

So I don't even think that conversation was shown. So we were aware that, you

know, it was early on. But, yeah, no, we've always been good. Yeah.

Fair enough.

And you two's connection was pretty much instant.

We saw you with Aidan and Lorenzo.

What was the difference with Tom? Do you know what? It was from our first

conversation. I feel like he's just the male version of me. Just different

fonts. He's bold, I'm metallic.

Do you know what I mean?

I like that.

Got a little swivel to you. I mean, you guys all made such amazing friendships

in there. Who had the biggest impact on you out of all of this lot?

I would definitely have to say my Lola girl.

I'm obsessed with her. she's my best friend i love her yeah all the girls all

the boys were amazing but love you my girl lola and you tommy um lorenzo big

brother of mine and obviously my boy

All the boys were great, though. They took me in as brothers.

I think coming in castle, it's a bit daunting, so they all took me under

their wing.

And, yeah, I love all the boys. You're welcomed.

Yeah. Everyone loves Tommy. And, guys, you've not had a first date. You haven't

done anything on the outside world. Have you planned stuff already? It's already

planned. Don't worry about that. Oh, yeah, we've been talking about this for

ages. We'll be going for dinner.

A little din. Some exotic cocktails on a rooftop bar. What makes them exotic?

Yeah. You'll find out. You'll find out.

Yeah, don't worry, I've got that all planned out.

And Samraj? Ooh, I've left it up to Samraj. Lorenzo says he has a really

good list of restaurants, so he's going to pass that on to you. I'm happy with

anything. I've got it planned.

Secret.

Tell her the time, get ready, pick her up, go. Matthew, drive through.

I'm so excited for you guys. It's going to be a whole new world as soon as you

get out. But this is cute.

We can carry it on to the outside world.

Make some noise for Yasmin and Tommy.

So,

let's chat to the rest of this iconic bunch. Make some noise for this year's

Islanders.

I saw you last night.

What happened? Did you enjoy the rest of your evening?

We... Wait, what would you mean? After all? No, I'm just asking what happened

after I left. We had a great night.

We did.

Yesterday we bonded in the after sun. No, no, no, in the after sun.

Should we let Bria talk?

OK, let Bria talk.

No, honestly, we had a great time on after sun.

Yeah. It was really, really nice to obviously see the whole panel, you know,

get a few questions, clear a few things up. But what happened between you two?

Us two? What, afterwards? Yeah.

Is the rubbing continuing?

We maybe had a little kiss.

A little one. Maybe a little one. Maybe a little one. But, yeah, I think, yeah,

to be honest with you, like I said, since we've left, me and Aidan have...

Yeah, we've had a great time, to be honest with you. It's been nice to see

the two of us and kind of explore things.

But, yeah, it's still sort of on my terms.

We're in a good place.

Bria wants everyone to know it's up to her what happens next. Thank God, yeah.

Let's just clear that up. Full control right now.

You obviously apologised for some stuff and you spoke about things that you

maybe could have handled differently.

Yeah, 100%. Alicia is here right now. Is there anything you want to say to her?

Because I know you haven't seen her yet. Yeah, of course. No, I think, actually,

I do want to apologise about the national... rail comment um it was

obviously not meant to be a job shaming comment and at the end of the day it was

very much so that i told you i was telling you to go back to your job

because go back to your day job basically and kind of keep my name out

of your mouth that was where i was coming from um it's nothing to do with

the actual where you work i mean i sell eye drops for a living um it was whether

you worked at the bank of england you could have worked at boots you could

have worked anywhere i was mainly just referencing go back to your job and keep

my name out your mouth that was kind of what i was saying

Sorry guys, I'm very ill, but no, I feel like a few years back I'd have probably

reacted the same way, you know, sort of shouting and going about that. So I sort

of understand the reaction.

I'm proud of my job and I work my arse off.

feelings like we've got everything under the rug and she's she's an amazing

person you know so and some of you and that's what i'm saying i wasn't shaming

on you and i think you should be proud of where you work and everything thank

you you too i do actually have some information as well is something going

on between you and uh ethan i

would love to know Well, we've been to separate villas, so I don't know what

you've heard.

Nothing's happening? No flirtations?

Definitely, yeah.

Even you're laughing a lot. What's going on?

I'll give you the exclusive.

No, no, we're exploring.

OK,

Aidan, you told me that you...

maybe would have kissed Robin in the villa.

Is that off the cards now? I mean, she's right over there in her glittery dress.

I've said hello to Robin.

I'm actually struggling to get the kiss from Priya at the moment, so... Focus on

the main thing. Exactly, yeah. OK. We're focusing on this at the moment. All

right. And, Robin, what do you feel about him?

Maybe at the start, but then he cracked on with my bestie Ellie, which is a big

no-no.

And then he's now trying to crack on with Priya, so I'll just leave him to

that and then, yeah.

So, Ellie and Finlay.

How are you two? You got reunited with him, finally.

Last night I saw Ellie and she was like, get me back to my mum.

They've been separated.

Yeah, actually. How has it been going?

No, it's actually been going really good.

Couldn't be happier.

And obviously you had to re-impress Ellie's friends.

Still working on it.

I haven't had a chance to meet them yet, but I've spoken to them on FaceTime.

Yeah, he's been on the phone and we're going back home. They've warmed up to

me, but there's more to come.

Give it time.

We're going back to West Lothian tomorrow.

You'll see how he does it. You look happy. I'm happy.

Tommy, though.

Cheeky Tommy, you have been basically executive producing the outside world.

I've seen so many moments from you. You've shared a lot.

Have you got anything else to share before the end of the series? I just

think when you leave here as an ex-islander, you've got almost a duty to

kind of provide a bit of an inside goss into what's going on. You took that role

seriously. OK, and anything else, then? Yeah, so I think if people want me to be

more entertaining, they should let me get in casa.

I've had to explore my casa... I've had to explore my casa options off-camera

now. Wait, what?

So who have you been exploring?

Me and Charlene shared a kiss off-camera

How's it been now you're outside watching everyone inside yeah, it's

weird It's nice watch that not being part of it. I think yeah, just yeah

getting to watch a drama not be permanent things Yeah, I mean you guys

were talking about being official talking about all of this stuff as it

happened. Yeah, it's in your finger

You're engaged.

Yeah. Are you joking? Have you guys missed this?

I think you're trolling me.

We're going to Dublin tomorrow.

Nice. So there's girlfriend plans in the works. I just want to make sure it is

special, like I said. But I don't want to give everything away. Right, the

Irish send-off. Home soil.

Beautiful. And I do have to talk about your horny animal impressions. Did you

like them, did you?

I'm not sure, but there has been a lot flying out. Is that the new route for

you? That was always my route.

I don't know where people are getting that from, but no, that was always my

route. It's just nice that when I came out, I saw all the videos were

resurfacing. Some of them maybe not so much, but yeah, if you want to see

those, Maya, you know, I can do a few for you if you want.

Do you want to do one now?

What would you like me to do? Give me an animal and I'll do it. I don't know, a

pigeon.

OK, let's go.

OK,

a horny pigeon.

Rollercoaster full of tears, tantrums and triangles that have kept us all

screaming at the telly. So grab some popcorn as we take a look back at the

highs and lows of Love Island 2026.

A staggering 32 islanders walked through those doors and kept the villa rocking

from day one.

It's been an unforgettable series packed with unforgettable moments.

Girls, take a sip if you think any of the boys are handsome.

I hope they don't all sip to that. I feel like you're very promiscuous.

It's probably not even a looks thing, it just comes down to a laugh. Of course

it's not, bro, I'm fucking 10-10.

I think she's fake.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Can you hold my hair, please?

I don't want to tell you I'm 25 and pray I'm sorry.

I'm sick of it now.

There we go, Ellie!

Ellie! Sorry.

In true Love Island fashion, it's been anything but straightforward.

In 24 hours, one girl and one boy will be dumped. And that decision will be

down to both of you.

I'm so sorry, guys.

Alien Samraj, it's not over yet.

Is this a joke?

What the fuck? There was a shock return and two new bombshells. That's my

brother. So you went on a date with his brother?

Forget love triangles.

Everyone's been making connections and making moves.

That was... A bit better. That was good.

Really? That was better.

Is it making your willy go funny?

A little bit.

Were you going to be kissing her in bed tonight?

Not if you don't want me to. Oh, shut up.

Obviously I'll crack on with you, I'm not going to lie.

Obviously, I think you're sexy.

Do you know what I mean?

Wait, who's coming?

Let's get the fuck off.

I'm not doing triangles, pentagons, hexagons. I know you like maths, but I'm

sick of it.

Oh, my God, my hat.

I'm not kissing you.

He just went up to the terrace with meps. Man wants a hat, do we?

Who wants a kiss?

Everybody, apparently!

You think you run this gaff, don't you?

Can you stop looking at me like you want to eat me?

Oh, my God!

A heart rate challenge sent pulses racing.

Oh my god. Oh!

Gaga!

I'm gonna spit in my mouth, come on then.

There were big betrayals that rocked the villa.

With a sleepover that opened the doors to temptation.

We had a kiss outside of the challenge.

And Casa more led to the ultimate deception.

I could have kissed your ass with that.

We'll stay here, won't we? Let's just stay on holiday.

A challenge from Casa stunned the main villa.

Who is she?

No, that's Avaya.

Oh, I feel sick.

I would like to stick with Cap.

Honestly, for fuck's sake.

Actual joke.

A new bombshell made their entrance.

What did you like, bro?

He said that he owed it to himself.

What? You set the boundary, not me.

We delivered the drama.

How are you feeling about the uni situation? She's a fucking bitch. Your

boobs are better.

I know. Huh?

Is that what he said?

Fucking idiot.

Sleep on the daybeds, enjoy the flies, babe, cos I've got the double bed

tonight. And everything in between.

Fuck off, get out my shit.

The girls stood on business.

Yeah, you can absolutely fuck off. Hard, absolute waste, man.

Fist pump.

Air one, because I don't even want to touch you. Bye, Simba.

I asked you a question, and you lied to my face.

Don't do that.

Telling the fucking boys that I pounced on you, it's rude, it's disrespectful,

and it is not the fucking truth.

Can I try to compare me and Jordan?

Are you fucking joking me?

Your opinion to me isn't actually that relevant. I know he loves me. I don't

care if you don't think he loves me.

Fuck my home. Can we leave this? Fuck my home?

Does it mean fuck you? Like, I don't actually care.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Will you fucking let me speak?

I can't even look at you.

Do you know the lives that women live and the double standards that we live

every fucking day? If for one second we want to have the upper leg, I think you

guys can let us have it.

Stop my fucking death!

There have been incredible highs, heartbreaking lows... That was the right

decision. ..and plenty of tears along the way.

I'm coming.

What? I'm coming.

The decisions made, leave it at that. Stop arguing, please.

And somehow, against all the odds, real connections were made.

So what's your usual type? Tall, dark and handsome. Here we go. Happy.

I love you.

Aww.

I love you too.

I love you, Jess.

Do you?

i think i love you too hopefully you will want to be exclusively dating

leaving our fantastic

finals

Not yet, because the time has come to find out who you lot voted for third

place.

Angelista and Simba.

Jasmine and Cavan.

Yulia and Lorenzo.

I can now reveal that the couple in third place is...

What is going through your minds right now?

It's mental.

It's surreal to even be here, you know, just surrounded by everyone, seeing

everyone's faces, all the other old islanders as well, feeling all the love.

But, yeah, no, genuinely.

It's a happy moment. Very happy moment. I didn't think I'd be here, to be

honest. Really?

Even when it got to, like, the Heart Race Challenge, I was like, oh, I'm

still here for this. And then it got to Casa, I'm like, oh, I'm still here for

this. They love you. How am I still here?

It has been such a love story to witness because you did really go all over the

place and then found love in a hopeless place, as Rihanna said.

So you walked in knowing you wanted Angelista straight away. You were very

clear on that. What was it that attracted you to her?

I feel like with Angie, you know, her poise just grabs you just off the get

-go. Yeah.

Elegance, her grace.

She's so smart. She's so funny.

I feel like, again, like, her kindness, how caring. I can go on and on, you

know, but I feel like it was just that instant, as soon as I looked at her, I

was like, yeah, this is my girl. That's my one. That's my one, yeah.

We have to talk about the journey, because you didn't really explore

anywhere, really. You were kind of on a straight journey.

But, Simba, you did have a moment with Mika and Mara. Yeah.

What impact do you feel like that had on you two's relationship?

I feel like, in the moment, it was tough.

um obviously there's a few moments where you know i saw andrew cry and um i feel

like it's hard in that moment to see the bigger picture to things you know you're

kind of just so in the moment you're focused on you know how you're feeling

in that moment i feel like now looking back in the long term i feel like we've

both said that in a weird way it kind of worked out the best in a way you know it

kind of just gave us that that extra clarity that we needed to just kind of

you know like reassure ourselves that you know that we're meant for each other

and yeah we're sat here and we know i needed the pennies

Imagine if it was smooth sailing and then and then on the outside now you

need to figure out myself It's just too much and then it's not in front

of my face. It's like I don't even know to what extent you're going

Yeah, that would be too much, so I'm glad the penny dropped in here. He's

learned his lessons early. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and the frontal lobe is starting

to develop.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's starting to develop. He turned 25 in the villa, so

he's got a hair core, like... Moments. And obviously your families both

completely support both of you, and they were so happy.

And what's going to happen with all of you? I can, like, imagine a big link-up,

maybe, I don't know, are you going to have a party when you leave?

I don't know. We're just going to play it by ear.

But, like, we're talking about a cousin's bottomless brunch kind of

situation. Bottomless brunch, OK.

And then, like, our families integrating together. Because I feel like we just

meshed well. Especially on the family day, we could kind of sense the vibe.

And it just, like, clicked straight away. So we was like, yeah. Makes sense.

And obviously last night we saw you didn't receive a single vote from the ex

-Islanders. Why do you think that was? Could they see the vision?

I feel like, yeah, I feel like, you know, these are people that we spend

every day with, you know.

I think when you're with us, like, 24-7, you can see, like, our dynamic and you

can feel it as well. And I think everyone kind of felt it. And then it

was just like, yeah, no.

Well, you haven't even seen your phones or anything, Simba.

There are many quotable lines you've had throughout this time. Oh, really?

Really? Yeah. All right, cool.

The speech, small bears.

Oh, small bears.

Small bears, yeah. Oh, and I said about my mum. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. It

was a lovely speech, though. What brought you to do that?

I feel like I kind of just you know that first line I think I said I humiliated

her publicly I wanted to uplift her publicly you know and that was when I

wrote that it was like I was in flow state I just kept going and going and

going you know and it was like my feelings were just coming out and it was

a bit of like a surreal moment because I put my phone down I was like wait a

minute did I actually write this you know poet literally wow so um okay yeah

I'm glad I'm glad I've done it though yeah so what happens next have you

planned your first date I have to ask everybody

Where is the first place you're going to go or what you're going to do first?

So, Angie's birthday's tomorrow.

Leo. Yeah.

Angie's birthday's tomorrow.

Round of applause, round of applause.

Round of applause, round of applause.

On your birthday, on your birthday, on your birthday.

Here we go.

Angie's birthday's tomorrow, so, obviously, once we get back and stuff

and kind of just sort out the few bits and bobs I need to get sorted out.

You've got some stuff to plan. Yeah, yeah, we've got something big. I'm

planning something big for her. I love it. OK, well, thank you so much, guys.

Please, make some noise. Your third place, by the way.

Two couples remain, but only one can leave as your Love Island champions.

And the vote is back open. So will it be Yulia and Lorenzo or Jasmine and Kevin?

The vote closes in just over 15 minutes. So here's a reminder of how you can back

your favourites.

Here's your final chance to vote for your winning couple.

Your finalists are... Jasmine and Kevin.

Julia and Lorenzo, get voting for your Love Island winners now.

Voting closes later in tonight's show. Your previous vote still counts and will

be combined with those cast earlier.

Voting is free and you can access it via the app. You can only vote once.

So it's still open to decide this year's winners, Yulia and Lorenzo, or Jasmine

and Kevin.

So let's chat to the remaining couples first up. I mean, we've loved them all

summer. It's Yulia and Lorenzo.

The rock has crumbled. The rock's been smashed. It's been smashed a bit.

Smashed a bit. I don't know where it's gone.

You've actually been quite emotional throughout. We saw you like, at the

beginning, then it went into la, la, la.

It's beautiful to witness.

I don't know.

That guy from bloody Newcastle sent me west.

Once I broke down, I couldn't stop crying. No, but it was nice.

Yeah, I said to Cav and Simba, I think out of everyone, I think we've cried the

most. Yeah, it's an emotional situation.

I mean, nobody on the outside could ever imagine how intense it is in here. And

we followed you throughout. But what was it about you, Leo, that made things

different from the rest of them? Well, I...

I don't know if this was shown, but, you know, I was speaking a lot and it was,

you know, as a joke and I think all the girls were getting a bit ticked off

about it. But, yeah, I kept talking about... I kept talking about this dream

girl, Saskia. Saskia, yeah. So did you make her up? Was she, like, someone you

drew as a child? No, no, no, I just thought about, like, this girl, she was

blonde, she...

Looked like a supermodel. She had a crazy personality.

Bit of an accent. She had a European accent.

Right. And I walked into Casa Amor and we were all laughing outside thinking,

you know, she could be in there, she could be in there. And walked in and I

was like, there she is!

Hi!

How are you doing?

How are you doing?

And obviously, you two hit it off instantly.

Yeah. And now you're exclusive.

Mm-hm. Finally!

Yeah!

I feel like this is maybe a first for you, Lorenzo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. On the

outside, you know, you just date and you get into situations.

What did you say? You had, like, a week time limit or something? Two weeks? Oh,

no, it's normally, like, it takes three weeks to get to a second date because,

you know, things are busy and stuff like that.

And it took four weeks to become exclusive.

There we go. So, yeah, time moves fast in here. And, yeah, I can say that I've

never met anyone as beautiful and crazy as Yulia. And I think... The best.

And I think that we...

You know, I sort of manifested it in the Love Island cause.

I don't know how. The producers were listening. They said, get him that one.

Let's go.

And, Yulia, how did you tame him? Was he your type initially? Was he actually who

you wanted?

Um, yeah, I think he was, yeah, probably.

I just don't like admitting that to him, because obviously Lawrence was already

very confident, so he doesn't need any more compliments, does he?

You do well with that. It makes sense. She doesn't like to give too many

compliments. I think she did the right thing, cos look at you now. Right? Makes

sense. It works. I feel like, yeah, I was looking for someone just as crazy,

good-looking, and, yeah, we just matched.

I feel like we had that instant spark, and that's what I was... looking for.

Yeah I've never met someone that feels so well matched to me you know it feels

really weird but like we get on and there's a lot like even our banter and

stuff like that is all very like tongue-in-cheek.

I call us seriously and serious.

That makes a lot of sense.

We just love being stupid together and having fun and yes somehow the feelings

developed and here we are!

Mean it wasn't all Jokes and stuff because you know you did have a bit of

back-and-forth with a few people in there Lola being one Will there be any

double dates you reckon is the squash I already had a double day. We had a

triple breakfast Yeah, we're loving it. So no problems now. No, that's behind us

like we're all good I feel like you know, we moved past it and yeah, I wish

them all the best and everyone and you know

Friendships were obviously a big part of your experience Lorenzo We saw you and

Tommy's bond and everybody else in there who had the biggest impact on you

Ooh, I think they all played a part, really. I feel like, yeah, Tommy Toon

and I obviously had a special bond and, you know, we had a lot of fun and lots

of silly and jokes and things like that. Yeah. And, yeah, I just wanted everyone,

me and Sam Raj as well, we had a lot of things in common.

Yeah, Aidan and I, the first face I saw walking in here, and I was like, oh, my

God, we're going to have a great summer.

And, yeah, just everyone, Fitz taught me a lot.

Finn and his Welsh charm and, yeah, Simba and how much he cares for Angie

and stuff. I feel like I've learned a lot from everyone and, you know, Jordan,

big friendly giant. Everybody then. Yeah, I feel like I've taken a piece

from everyone and, yeah, hopefully it's made me a more rounded person. And can I

just mention something? I obviously miss seeing my cast of girls and it was so

lovely seeing you today. And Marifa, before Marifa left, we exchanged rings

and I'm wearing her ring today.

Yeah.

Just like I love you What would you like from

a Lorenzo first date on the outside world what would I like to see it on the

first day from Lorenzo I

Would like him to you know, just take me out

and yeah, just go for a nice dinner drinks

Six plates.

Oh, we're doing none.

Small plate mindset.

Small plate.

Lorenzo schooled me on it. Apparently there's different types of women. You're

a small plate girl, you have loads of them, or you're a main starter and

dessert girl. I feel like just get as many dishes as possible. Get them all

out. Order from our menu and keep it. Sharing is caring.

Yeah. And have you planned something yet?

I feel like we want to go away. I know it's been eight weeks. We want something

spontaneous. With no cameras. I can understand that. We need something ASAP,

spontaneous. Something fun.

Yes, crazy. I can meet you in Ibiza if you like. We could do that. But last

question, because we don't know yet. What would it mean for you guys to win?

It'd be crazy.

That'd be insane.

Did you envision that? Was that part of something you... I never thought I'd be

here.

It's just been a whirlwind of a journey and I've just loved every second of it.

I didn't think I would make it from Casa, so being here is just like, what's

happening, guys?

Well, you've been a joy to watch.

Yulia and Lorenzo, everybody.

And now the winner wouldn't be the same without them, Jasmine and Kevin.

Did you know that Kevin's like feel was different to everyone else's as soon as

he arrived because you were a bombshell we forget that it's very early yeah no

he bombshelled yeah he came in and i was straight away i think it was to angie i

was like oh my god aiden's brother i was like he's tea yeah like i didn't know he

was younger older i didn't know anything yet and then yeah he just had an aura he

has a lot of aura it's really crazy like exudes off him he's very sexy he's very

confident like yeah you know the age gap who i was gonna say yeah do you even

notice that because i think it depends on maturity it doesn't really depend on

age, does it? No, I never noticed it. I literally never noticed it. And

sometimes when we'd argue, the girls would sometimes be like, you know,

that's his age. And I was like, is it?

So I don't feel like that's even an age thing. I just think that might be a

slight difference that we're working through. I never thought it was an age

thing. Nothing. Right. And Cav, you guys went on the only break in the series.

Our first and only.

Did you think that helped the relationship?

I'm not sure. Obviously, I'm a bit of an over-thinker, as everyone knows.

I've had a lot of advice from a lot of people.

I just think it shows my emotion and shows my feeling. I didn't want to end

it. That wasn't what I wanted.

But maybe a break, I'm not sure.

I wouldn't change my experience anyway, so maybe it was a good thing. You ended

up here, didn't you? Exactly. And you are the only one that got to experience

Love Island with their brother.

Oh, no. Do you think that was a pro or a con?

It was definitely a pro.

Yeah? Definitely a pro. Like I say... Sorry, Adrian.

Come on!

Sorry, sorry. Not only is he the funniest guy I know, I think for

everyone he's absolutely hilarious.

No, he's been a light in the villa. He has. But, like, obviously, that's a rare

experience. Not everybody gets to have that.

I do. I feel very lucky, very lucky, obviously, to do... Not just come in

with your brother, but to do the... whole thing with my father.

I'm a very, very lucky person. And then obviously to meet Jazz as well, you

know, couldn't be luckier. You guys are so cute.

Jazz, I mean, Aidan obviously thinks your sister's hot.

What's going to happen from here? I hate that Priya's watching this, but like,

what's going to happen at the dinners?

Well, I don't know. That's for Aidan to tell me. I don't think, I'm pretty sure

that, you know. I think we've already sorted the double dates.

I'm for it.

He is for it. I'm not sure about that. I'm not sure that I want, You for Bella,

Aiden, love you, but... Yeah, I think I want someone else for Bella. Non

-approved. Non-approved. OK, and what is life going to look like for you guys on

the outside?

Have you discussed that? Has that even been a thought yet? Yeah, we've

discussed it loads. I feel like we're just really excited. I don't think it's

that big of a distance between Kent and where I live. Oh, no. And, yeah, we just

want to, like, integrate our lives. I'm really excited for him to come to my

house. My sister's already inviting everyone to the house parties, so he'll

be there.

I feel like there's actually a lot of similarities. I can't wait to see, like,

his little Kent life. Oh, my God. You haven't even seen his social media or

you haven't seen that.

I've seen it. I've seen everything.

I've heard it's a lot like this with beers.

Is that it? I'm very worried she'll get the ick when she sees us.

No, she won't get the ick, but he does love a bit. But that's okay.

That's okay, yeah.

I'll join him. We're going to pub gardens.

I'm going to be converted.

She's never been to a pub garden. It will be fun. I'm going to become a pub

garden girl.

And obviously there was this affair in plain sight talk. That is done. We saw

you guys squash.

Now, do you reckon you two will be on double dates then? Youthful?

I think we should.

It's going to be fun.

It's going to be great.

We're doing templates.

What would it mean for you guys to win have you

I'll be honest, we thought we were going to go a long time ago and we were just

happy. So the fact that we're even sitting here now is a big, big win in my

eyes. It's crazy. I don't understand.

Whatever happens, whatever happens.

Happy regardless. We're not going to think about it. I'm just like, how am I

even here? I don't know, this is crazy.

Yeah, I mean, it's beautiful.

So, I mean, there's not really much else to say. The votes are all coming in.

Please give it up for Jasmine and Kevin, everyone.

Well, there's only one question left to ask.

It's been a rollercoaster of a journey, I'm not going to lie.

You've made us happy, you've made us sad, you've made us laugh and you've

made us cry.

Love you all. Can't wait to see you.

Come on, team Javelin!
