Love Island's Amber Gill looks loved-up in sweet snaps as she supports footballer girlfriend

Maura Higgins ditched her usual glam look on Tuesday as she went make-up free for a trip to the shops in Essex. The former Love Island star, 32, looked nearly unrecognisable as she sported baggy grey tracksuit bottoms and a black Victoria's Secret hoodie while shopping for groceries at a Sainsbury's store.

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.

Love Island fans were left making the same complaint as they watched Maya Jama return to screens as she was joined by this year's string of islanders and bombshell contestants to get all the gossip just days after the final of the second-ever winter series.

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.

After two months of coupling up, bombshells, and head-turning, the winter series of Love Island came to an end on Monday night (March 13). And fans of the ITV2 dating show were delighted to see Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan crowned as the winners of the ninth series, but only the second-ever winter run.

Another season of Love Island came to a close on Monday 13 January, with Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan announced as the winners of the winter 2023 series. The series, which was the second ever winter edition of the ITV2 dating show, ended on Monday with Maya Jama presenting the grand finale live from the iconic villa in South Africa. The final episode included the finalists' heartwarming declarations of love as well as clips from their last ever day in the villa, and each couple got to look back at their highlights as they sat down with Maya, 28, for a live interview.

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.

Love Island duo Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga were forced to endure an awkward highlights reel during Monday's live finale of the dating show, which saw them eventually declared as fourth-place finishers. As fans who've been keeping up with the villa shenanigans will know, one contestant in particular burned holes in their relationship throughout his stay: Martin Akinola. So when presenter Maya Jama pressed play on the 24 and 25 year olds' best bits, it came as no surprise to see the airport security guard visibly furious, and it didn't take long for the tweeting to public to spot this either.

It's been two long months for some of us as we've battled through the coldest and darkest nights of the year - or so we hope!

The grand finale of Winter Love Island 2023 is set to take place this evening and host Maya Jama has been busy getting prepared in South Africa. Maya, 28, will reveal whether Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins, Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan, Tom Clare and Samie Elishi or Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad are the winning couple of this year's series on Monday 13 January live from Cape Town.

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 fans have said they are 'already fuming' as they say they've figured out which couple will leave following the latest cliffhanger. Thursday night's (March 9) trip to the South African villa saw viewers watch the remaining couples go on their final dates with days to go until the ITV2 dating show's grand finale.

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.

While he's not going to hear it, Love Island fans have been issuing advice to Ron Hall after spotting a 'hateful' move just before the latest dumping. The islanders were rocked by a surprise exit during the latest trip to the South African villa on Tuesday night (March 7).

Love Island returned to our screens on Monday night as the islanders geared themselves up for one of the staple episodes of the show. The remaining stars looking to find love in the South African villa went head-to-head as they battled it out in a 'talent show', which gave them the opportunity to showcase their skills.

Despite being dumped from Love Island after being voted the least compatible couple by the public, it seems Islanders Olivia Hawkins and Maxwell Samuda want to prove to people that they’re the real deal. 23 year old Maxwell, who asked 27 year old Olivia to be exclusive at the beach club, has opened up about planning their first date away from the Love Island villa.

Amber Gill has posted a series of snaps on her Instagram, including a few from a romantic getaway to Paris with girlfriend Jen Beattie .The holiday snaps were amongst a number of another pics which Amber uploaded with the caption: “February you were cute jeans x” Jen captured Amber wearing a headset and struggling to figure out how to work a Nintendo DS as the pair took a tour around the Louvre. Another pic shows Amber smiling cheekily back at the camera, having successfully figured out how to work the device.The pair also enjoyed cocktails at a rooftop bar with stunning views of the French capital.The third pic of the bunch shows the pair enjoying a glass of fizz and holding hands across the table.

Love Island fans have spotted a sign that Claudia Fogarty might not have been as forgiving of Olivia Hawkins as she made out. Thursday's episode of the dramatic reality show picked up just where Wednesday's episode ended; with Olivia and Maxwell Samuda having just been dumped from the island before it was revealed that they were in charge of picking one other couple to leave the villa with them.

Love Island fans have issued a plea to producers after being left 'repulsed' by some of the latest scenes coming out of the South African villa. A day out at the beach club ended in the dramatic return of host Maya Jama who had some news to share with the remaining islanders.

Love Island fans have been left asking 'how' as they were left floored by a 'wicked plot twist'. During Wednesday night's episode (March 1), Olivia Hawkins and Maxwell Samuda were dumped from the Love Island villa.
