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.

In a video posted to her Instagram stories, Claudia, 28, could be seen wading through a crowd of Samie and Tom's close friends and family to get to the front. Upon seeing her, Samie, 22, screamed in shock and joy, as Tom, 23, clapped his hands to his mouth and said: "No way!" As Claudia burst through the crowd, she and Samie shared an elated hug, before she also extended her arms to Tom, who said incredulously: "You said you weren't coming!" as Claudia laughed mischievously.

Love Island viewers were left unimpressed with parts of the show’s highly anticipated final as the cameras and contestants struggled to put up with the villa’s windy weather.
