Love Island viewers 'relieved' as Olivia and Maxwell are dumped but with major show twist

Love Island winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan return home and with it came a huge party as they reunite with family. Kai, 24 and Sanam, 24 were crowned the winners of this year's winter series of Love Island on Monday evening by presenter Maya Jama. The loved up pair met less than a month ago when bombshell Sanam entered the villa as part of the notorious Casa Amor twist.

Love Island stars Will Young and Jessie Wynter looked loved-up as they strolled the streets of London following their return from the villa. The TikTok farmer, 23, and the former Love Island Australia contestant, 26, narrowly missed out on a place in the ITV series final and landed back in the UK earlier this week, with Jessie already taking a trip to Will’s farm since their arrival. The couple were seen taking on some post-show promo commitments in central London on Thursday (14 March) as they explore their relationship for the first time outside of the villa.

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 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.

Before it was revealed they'd won Love Island, Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan sat down for a live interview with presenter Maya Jama to look back at their best bits. Sanam, 24, and Kai, also 24, discussed their initial attraction to one another during the Casa Amor twist and revealed their plans for after the show, and Sanam accidentally revealed she loves Kai, leaving the pair in fits of giggles.

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 fans were left annoyed as the final episode was constantly interrupted by adverts. The final episode of the series in South Africa cut to a break not even 10 minutes in, which left many fans fuming on social media.

Love Island viewers are now completely convinced that axed couple Casey O'Gorman and Rosie Seabrook have already split up before the final airs tonight. Fans were already speculating that the duo had called it quits on their brief coupling following their exit due to some rather suspect social media posts.

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).

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.

Dumped Islander Olivia Hawkins has revealed that she cried "many times" in the Love Island villa – but said her tearful moments weren't shown on TV. Her comments came as she addressed claims of "toxic femininity" on the show, after a domestic abuse charity spoke out. Olivia, 27, who was dumped from the Island with boyfriend Maxwell Samuda, 23, has hit back at claims that the female Islanders on the show were "toxic" as she said that arguments are "inevitable" inside the villa.

Another week down in the Love Island villa and the drama is definitely hotting up, from Jessie Wynter being confronted en masse to Olivia Hawkins' exit . Like every year, there have been numerous posts circulating the internet showcasing the transformations of the Love Island cast, and the 2023 Islanders are no exception. Old pictures of them from before their glamorous villa lives have resurfaced.

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.

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.
