ITV's Love Island descends into chaos as filming halted and islanders shut away in villa

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).

They have been dedicating their viewing time to the show for the last two months but some Love Island fans have said they refuse to watch the final following the last dumping of the winter series. The South African villa has seen plenty of arrivals and exits, arguments and love-ins after the past several weeks but it's all set to come to an end.

Love Island's Casey O'Gorman has shown off his ripped abs after leaving the South African villa with Rosie Seabrook, despite "snacking 24/7" on the show. He took to Instagram to post a snap with Rosie as they showed off their sculpted physiques and deep golden tans from being in the South African sunshine for the last few weeks.

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.

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.

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 returns to out television screens on Wednesday and five new arrivals are set to cause chaos in the villa. But don't worry, because this time it isn't anyone looking to turn heads.

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.

Four Love Island contestants were sent packing on Thursday night (March 2) after a shock double dumping. Wednesday night's episode (March 1) saw the islanders enjoy a day out at the beach club before they were surprised by host Maya Jama.

Olivia Hawkins doubled down on the comments she made about Jessie Wynter during her exit interview from Love Island. Olivia, who has worked as a body double for both Emma Watson and Michelle Keegan, was dumped from the South African villa at the end of Wednesday’s episode alongside her Casa Amor boyfriend, Maxwell Samuda.

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.

A former Love Island star has given a behind-the-scenes look at villa life, as she revealed “everyone fights” to go outside to smoke or vape. Ellie Spence, 25, entered the villa as a bombshell last month and enjoyed was coupled up with Jordan Odofin, before the pair were sent home from South Africa after receiving the fewest public votes. Since her return to the UK, Ellie has been offering fans some fascinating insight into what life is like while living in the Love Island villa.

Love Island fans were left confused by the end of the latest trip to the villa as they spotted Will Young's sudden change. Things got a bit dramatic in South Africa on Tuesday night (February 28) as with the final nearing closer, the islanders appears to be turning on one another - behind each other's backs.

The stars of Love Island usually cash in after their stint in the South African villa as the brand deals roll in and they become social media sensations.

It's well known that the majority of Love Islanders go on to make some big money after the show. From securing million pound brand deals to becoming the creative director of one of the biggest fast fashion brands in the world, the islanders are sure to catapult to fame after a stint in the gorgeous South African villa. While they do have the opportunity to catapult their earnings, others may be returning to their day jobs.

Love Island fans were left pointing out the same issue as two new bombshell arrivals were teased. The ITV2 dating show continued on Thursday night (February 23) as viewers finally got to see the rest of Movie Night unfold in the South African villa.
