Love Island viewers convinced of unaired moment between Kai and Olivia amid tension

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.

Love Island contestant Sanam Harrinanan has been crowned the winner of the winter 2023 series alongside beau Kai Fagan. Kai eventually chose to recouple with Sanam and bring her back to the main villa with him, to the very visible ire of Kai's original partner Olivia Hawkins who also recoupled whilst at Casa Amor and romance has blossomed ever since. Kai and Sanam have been happily coupled up since, despite Kai’s ongoing feud with his Olivia, and have rapidly become fan favourites in the villa, going on to win the series.

Love Island's Olivia Hawkins has been seen for the first time since her ex from the show, Kai Fagan, won with his new partner, Sanam Harrinanan. Olivia, who was left fuming when Kai decided to recouple with Sanam in Casa Amor, looked unfazed by their win as she beamed following a late night of partying for the Love Island final in the UK, although the actual final was filmed in South Africa.The 27 year old beamed as she looked fresh-faced despite the late night in a full face of makeup with bronzed cheeks and a slick of gloss, whilst her hair was slicked back into her trademark high ponytail.

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. Last night, March 13, saw Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrianan crowned as the winners, beating fellow couples Lana Jenkins and Ron Hall, Samie Elishi and Tom Clare, and Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga. Throughout the series, which was filmed in South Africa, the villa and contestants battled against the elements and faced windy weather conditions – including last night.

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).

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.

Manchester PE and science teacher Kai Fagan and social worker Sanam Harrinanan, from Bedford, were crowned the winners of winter Love Island 2023 in an emotional final on Monday night (March 13). Love bloomed late in the process for the fan favourites after Sanam stole Kai's heart in the usually dreaded Casa Amor stage of the the ITV2 dating show.

Love Island viewers are convinced they spotted Samie Elishi looking "upset" and disappointed after host Maya Jama announced that she and beau Tom Clare had come third place in the final.The winter edition of the show, which has come to an end in South Africa for another year, was left with four remaining couples all hoping to be crowned the winners.Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad came in fourth place, but when Tom and Samie were announced as third, it was a shock for all the islanders. Runners-up Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins had gaping mouths immediately as their glances shot to show winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan, both stunned Tom and Samie had left the competition. Yet as Tom and Samie walked over to Maya for their interview, the latter's facial expression seemed to drop in disappointment.

Love Island presenter Maya Jama was the talk of Twitter on Monday as fans clasped eyes on her liquid-look burgundy dress. Back in South Africa for the dating phenomenon's grand finale, the 28 year old was joined by this year's four remaining hopefuls live on TV: Tom Clare and Sami Elishi, Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga, Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins, and Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan. Despite the evening wind doing a bit of a number on her hair, Maya was showered with compliments over on the social media platform, as two fans wrote: "Obsessed with @MayaJama's look this final!!" and "Maya Jama is about to look the best anyone has ever looked tonight".

Love Island fans were left fearing for host Maya Jama during Monday's 2023 final as the weather took a very windy turn. For the latest and last instalment of the 2023 winter series, Maya, 28, hosted from the South African villa as finalists Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins, Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga, Tom Clare and Samie Elishi, Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan, excitedly awaited to hear the winner.

Love Island contestants Olivia Hawkins and Claudia Fogarty arrived at the ITV2 show's final viewing party make up-free. The pair, who were both booted off the show in a dramatic quadruple dumping last week, both arrived at the W Hotel in London ahead of a viewing party with their fellow dumped islanders. The girls arrived at the bash alongside Zara Lackenby-Brown and Tanyel Revan before getting glammed up for the big night.

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.

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'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.

Recent Love Island dumpees Olivia Hawkins and Maxwell Samuda made their red carpet debut as an official couple out in the real world. Former Michelle Keegan and Emma Watson body double Olivia entered the South African villa on day one and enjoyed flings with both Tom Clare and PE teacher Kai Fagan.That was until Casa Amor when Maxwell arrived the scene and turned Olivia’s head so much that she forgot Kai’s name.

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.

The South African Love Island villa is set to be rocked on Friday as Shaq Muhammad makes an enormous claim about Ron Hall’s relationship with Lana Jenkins. Besides a few heated arguments once in a blue moon, the first winter version of the show since the pandemic has been relatively chilled out.That all changed after Casa Amor, as arguments seemed to pop up, including Olivia Hawkins and Maxwell Samuda slating Jessie Wynter, Tom Clare losing his mind during sports day, and Casey O’Gorman finding himself in the hot seat over his treatment of Claudia Fogarty.

Love Island hopeful Kai Fagan insists that Sanam Harrinanan must tell him she loves him in a spoiler for Thursday night’s episode. Manchester local Kai entered the South African villa on day one and has since struggled to find his perfect match, filling the time in couples with dumped islanders Olivia Hawkins and Tanyel Revan.
