Love Island final live as couples battle for Paige Turley's Winter Sun crown

Love Island star Paige Turley has candidly opened up about her friend’s suicide. Paige’s friend Jamie took his own life in December 2022 when he was just 20 years old. His sudden passing shocked both Paige, 25, and the community of West Lothian, Scotland – where the reality TV star’s from.

Love Island isn’t just about love, it turns out, as winners can also bag an impressive £50k cash prize if they’re able to win over the public’s hearts and minds. Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan, who recently appeared for the reunion special, became the latest couple to do just that when they were crowned the winners of the 2023 winter edition of the show.The couple, who work as a teacher and a social worker respectively, have already revealed that they plan to spend their money wisely and ensure at least some of it goes to a good cause.

Cut-out dresses are a huge trend at the moment, and if there’s one thing the Love Island girls do well, it’s give us some serious inspo on how to wear trends. On Sunday night, Jessie Wynter headed to the Love Island reunion in a very daring black cut-out dress that showed off her figure as she posed for photos with Will Young, who she coupled up with on the show.

Maya Jama made sure to ask all of the questions fans have been asking at the Love Island Reunion on Sunday, with the TV presenter even grilling Jessie Wynter about her lack of tears when crying. Maya, 28, was joined by every Islander from the 2023 winter edition of ITV2 show to reflect on the series, which saw Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan crowned winners.

Love Island stars Will Young and Jessie Wynter looked loved-up as they strolled the streets of London following their return from the villa. The TikTok farmer, 23, and the former Love Island Australia contestant, 26, narrowly missed out on a place in the ITV series final and landed back in the UK earlier this week, with Jessie already taking a trip to Will’s farm since their arrival. The couple were seen taking on some post-show promo commitments in central London on Thursday (14 March) as they explore their relationship for the first time outside of the villa.

Love Island stars Will Young and Jessie Wynter may have just missed out on a place in the final, but their romance has continued to blossom as they shared a kiss at Will's family farm. The pair landed back in the UK alongside fellow axed islanders Casey O’Gorman and Rosie Seabrook earlier today, before they headed straight to Will's farm, with a brief pit stop for a sweet photo outside Buckingham Palace in London.  Sharing a trio of snaps to their Instagram pages, Will and Jessie wrote: "To the Villa, to London, to the FARM.

It's barely been 24 hours since the winners of Winter Love Island 2023 were announced by the final voting figures are in - and it appears Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan were always going to be crowned the winners of the ninth series, but only the second-ever winter run.

Before it was revealed they'd won Love Island, Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan sat down for a live interview with presenter Maya Jama to look back at their best bits. Sanam, 24, and Kai, also 24, discussed their initial attraction to one another during the Casa Amor twist and revealed their plans for after the show, and Sanam accidentally revealed she loves Kai, leaving the pair in fits of giggles.

Another season of Love Island is set to soon draw to a close, with the final of the winter 2023 series scheduled to air on Monday 13 January. Just four couples are left in the villa and one pairing will be crowned the winners of the series, with viewers asking to vote for either Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins, Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan, Tom Clare and Samie Elishi or Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad.

Love Island fans have cheekily suggested a new pair on the show have 'more chemistry than one of the winter series' final couples and have also spotted a potential future islander in the penultimate episode. The current run of the ITV2 dating show will come to an end on Monday night (March 13).

Love Island star Casey O'Gorman has sparked rumours of a feud between him and a handful of his co-stars after failing to follow them on Instagram. Days after Casey, 26, who was recently dumped from the South African villa alongside bombshell Rosie Seabrook, 24, was given his phone back, the star followed his love interest Rosie as well as contestants Tom Clare, Will Young, Olivia Hawkins and former flame Claudia Fogarty.The star also followed Casa Amor bombshells Spencer Wilks, Ellie Spence, Keanan Brand, Maxwell Samuda and Jordan Odofin.

Former Scots Love Island star Paige Turley has braced the winter weather as she updated her fans on her gruelling training progress for a London half marathon next month.

With the Love Island final looming and the finish line now firmly in sight, one of the final challenges for the couples to face is their final dates - when they will be given one last opportunity to convince their partners (and viewers at home) that this relationship is for keeps. Every year, for the final dates of the season the couples are sent on hugely romantic dates, where no expense is spared on the lavish culmination of two months in the villa.

Paige Turley reunited with her Love Island co-stars Shaughna Phillips and Demi Jones for a sweet baby shower celebration.

Love Island has reportedly been thrown into chaos as two islanders have been booted from the villa just days before the final in an emotional dumping.

Dumped Islander Olivia Hawkins has revealed that she cried "many times" in the Love Island villa – but said her tearful moments weren't shown on TV. Her comments came as she addressed claims of "toxic femininity" on the show, after a domestic abuse charity spoke out. Olivia, 27, who was dumped from the Island with boyfriend Maxwell Samuda, 23, has hit back at claims that the female Islanders on the show were "toxic" as she said that arguments are "inevitable" inside the villa.

Former Love Island star Paige Turley has thanked her loyal fleet of fans on social media for all their kind donations so far in memory of her late pal from her hometown in West Lothian.
