The highly anticipated Love Island: All Stars Series 3 finale is scheduled to broadcast this Monday, February 23, at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX. Host Maya Jama will present the event live from the South African villa, where one couple will claim the coveted £50,000 cash prize. The six remaining pairs vying for victory are Lucinda and Sean, Samie and Ciaran, Leanne and Scott, Harrison and Belle, Millie and Zac, plus Whitney and Yamen.
Dramatic Twist Before the Finale
In a shocking turn of events during Friday's explosive episode, former Islanders from this series—Shaq, Curtis, Kyra, Jack, and Imani—made a surprise return to the garden. These comeback contestants were given the critical task of determining which remaining couple they deemed the least compatible. After delivering a series of brutal home truths, Jessy and Tommy were announced as the dumped couple, eliminating them from the finale.
Betting Odds and Viewer Sentiment
As the final approaches, speculation is rampant among viewers about which duo will emerge triumphant. According to the latest figures from Oddschecker, Lucinda and Sean—the most recent couple to become official—are currently the frontrunners with odds of 13/8. They are closely followed by Samie and Ciaran at 13/4, Millie and Zac at 17/10, and Whitney and Yamen at 20/1.
Despite their favourable betting position, Lucinda and Sean face significant opposition from a vocal segment of the audience. Countless viewers have taken to social media to express their reluctance to see this pair crowned champions. One fan remarked, "Would love Belle to win just to see the look on Sean and Lucinda's faces." Another added, "Belle [to win], to wipe that smile of Lucinda and Scott's faces." A third contributor stated, "Deffo not Sean and Lucinda to win," while a fourth echoed, "Sammie and Ciaran or Millie and Zac to win, please not Lucinda and Sean."
Previous Winners and Their Legacies
Looking back at the history of the show, last year's winners, Casey O'Gorman and Gabby Allen, have since gone their separate ways after securing victory. In contrast, the winners of the inaugural 2024 All Stars series, Molly Smith and Tom Clare, remain a strong couple, demonstrating that success on the show can sometimes translate into lasting relationships.
The finale promises to be a thrilling conclusion to a season filled with drama, romance, and unexpected twists, as viewers eagerly await to see which couple will walk away with the prize and the title of Love Island: All Stars champions.
