Another season of Love Island is set to soon draw to a close, with the final of the 2023 summer series scheduled to air on Monday 31 July. Just four couples are left in the villa and one pairing will be crowned the winners of the series, with viewers being asked to vote for either Jess and Sammy, Molly and Zach, Ella and Tyrique or Whitney and Lochan. Host Maya Jama, 28, will present the Love Island final live from the villa in South Africa, where she will reveal which couple will be taking home the prize fund of £50,000.The amount has remained the same since Love Island launched on ITV back in 2015.
However, it's yet to be revealed whether the famous 'Split or Steal' twist will be reintroduced for this year's series. In 2022, the twist was scrapped by ITV bosses for the first time ever, with winners Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Davide Sanclimenti automatically splitting the prize fund and receiving £25,000 each. In previous series, the winning couple are separated and asked to select an envelope each - one contains £50,000 while the other holds £0.
Whoever picked the envelope containing the entire prize fund then had to decide whether they wish to split the money with their partner, meaning they'll each receive £25,000, or if they wish to steal the entire sum for themselves. Splitting the money is a sign of the Islander's commitment to their partner and shows whether they ultimately entered the villa for love or money. No Islander has ever chosen to steal the money.
