Love Island: Last season’s winners and all previous champions

Hit ITV reality series is back

Love Island is back for its summer 2024 edition, with a new group of singletons hoping to find love and form part of the next winning couple.

Those who are crowned the winners of the ITV2 reality show not only get a £50,000 cash prize to share, but usually also walk out of the villa to newfound fame and offers of brand partnerships and a future as influencers.

Here’s a reminder of all the winners from the previous series of Love Island...

Series One (2015)

The winners of the very first series of modern Love Island were Jessica Hayes and Max Morley, who each bagged £50,000 at the series’ conclusion.

It was only 40 days after the show ended that the pair announced they were separating, though, to the dismay of fans.

The duo didn’t stay together for long after the show’s conclusion, but reportedly remain on good terms. Following his Love Island success, Cetinay has been seen on This Morning as the ITV series’ showbiz reporter, competed on Dancing on Ice, and joined radio station Capital as a cover presenter.

Davies, meanwhile, has appeared on stage in Dolly Parton’s West End musical 9 to 5 and has also competed on Dancing on Ice.

Series Four (2018)

The fourth season was won by Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham, who split up not long after the series ended.

Dyer, the daughter of actor Danny Dyer, has since gone on to co-present the TV series True Love or True Lives with her father, and a podcast called Sorted with the Dyers, as well as making a guest appearance in EastEnders as a taxi driver named Jeanette.

Fincham has appeared on Celebs Go Dating and The Only Way is Essex.

Series Five (2019)

In a shocking turnout for the books, Irish contestant Greg O’Shea entered the villa with only two weeks left of the series, partnering up with Amber Gill, and the pair finished as the winners.

After the series concluded, Gill signed a lucrative clothing deal, while O’Shea returned to Ireland to finish his law degree, with their relationship lasting less than two months in total.

Gill has since appeared on Celebrity Mastermind (her specialist subject was the film How to Train Your Dragon) and Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.

O’Shea joined Virgin Media Television in 2022 as a presenter on The 6 O'Clock Show.

Series Six (2020)
