'I don't tell you enough, but I'm so genuinely appreciative of you and everything you've done for me in here because my journey would be so, so shit without you,' she added.
Jamie replied: 'Every day, I get a feeling of wanting to be around you more and more and knowing that this journey is coming to an end, that we won't be able to spend every second with each other, it's gonna make me really miss this place, but I know that on the outside world, we've got some great things coming.'
Angel recalled having a 'spark' with Ty from the very beginning, adding that he is 'so thoughtful'.
She said: 'I can't wait for outside life with you. I literally couldn't be happier.'
Ty replied: 'I want to thank you and the Love Island gods for sending you in.
'I kind of didn't know where I was, and kind of lost myself a bit. I couldn't find my feet, and I feel like you came at the perfect time.'
Previous Love Island winners have included Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Davide Sanclimenti (Season 8), Jack Fincham and Dani Dyer (Season 4), Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies (Season 3), who have since split up.

Adam Collard breaks down in tears as he bravely speaks about fianceé Laura Woods' tragic miscarriage on Celeb SAS

Adam Collard broke down into tears as he spoke about his fianceé Laura Woods ' miscarriage on Sunday's episode of Celeb SAS. The former Love Island star, 29, is engaged to TNT Sports presenter Laura, 38, and the pair share son Leo together. Adam and Laura began dating in 2023 after he DM'd her over a funny meme shared on her Instagram Story, and not long after the pair sadly suffered from a tragic miscarriage when Laura was 11 weeks pregnant. Speaking about the difficult time on the Channel 4 reality show, Adam was left in floods of tears as bravely opened up about a difficult few months in his life. An emotional Adam told Special Forces he was diagnosed with depression following the sad loss. Recalling the moment, he said: 'One of them was with my erm lost it was really close to getting there a second time and telling everyone.' Speaking about the difficult time on the Channel 4 reality show, Adam was left in floods of tears as bravely opened up about a difficult few months in his life As Adam struggled to get his words out, the Special Forces team clarify he is talking about the miscarriage. He continued: 'I think I was proud of the fact that I was excited for it, which I didn't think I ever would be. 'And when it got taken away, and it was 10 times worse for her, I think it hit us like a tonne of bricks. 'We just really, really went to a bit of a bad place. And to be honest, in front of her I pretended I was cool, and pretended I was absolutely fine.' Adam later shed tears again as the recruits were asked to write 'death letters' to their loved ones. Reading out his heartfelt speech to Laura, he stated: 'The last few months have been really tough, but nowhere near as tough as you. 'We lost a baby recently.' He then started to sob, as his upset co-stars tried to comfort him. Adam added: 'I wish I had one more night to give you the world's biggest cuddle. Love you always, Adam.' Reading out his heartfelt speech to Laura, he stated: 'The last few months have been really tough, but nowhere near as tough as you.' Taking to X after the show aired, people praised Adam for being so 'raw and honest' In a piece to camera, Adam praised Laura, saying: 'I'd say I'm pretty closed off as a person and she definitely helped me to open up.' Taking to X after the show aired, people praised Adam for being so 'raw and honest'. Comments included: 'New found respect for after #SASWhoDaresWins tonight. Such raw and honest emotion and so pleased things have worked out for him.'; 'Love Island were happy to portray him in a negative way Women's Aid were happy to slate him on watching 1 hour of a manipulated reality TV show But no one realises the person behind the criticism. That took real strength from Adam Collard can't have been easy to speak about something like that man #SASWhoDaresWins'; 'So difficult for men to feel able to talk about their feelings. Fair play to him for doing so.' Laura and Adam began dating in October 2023 and announced that they were expecting their first child in 2024 and their son Leo was born in January 2025. Their relationship came a year after Adam famously returned to Love Island in 2022 in a bid to meet his dream woman. He previously caused chaos on the show in 2018 when he coupled up with four different women - Kendall, Rosie, Zara, and Darylle. While he ultimately went on to have a relationship with the now Strictly Come Dancing star Zara McDermott, they split after seven months together. In 2022, he once again found himself a girlfriend on the show, Paige Thorne, but their romance was short-lived and they quickly split after leaving the show. Paige later accused Adam of cheating and he admitted that he used her to enjoy a longer stint on Love Island, stating he 'completely chose the right person to stay on the show'. Adam went on to date Kate Moss's sister Lottie Moss after they were set up on Celebs Go Dating, but the romance ended after a month. This was reportedly the result of Adam sleeping with another woman after he had been intimate with Lottie. She said at the time: 'I hope he finds happiness – deep down in that cold shell of a soul.' Adam's relationship with Laura has been much more successful from the get-go, with the former reality star describing the presenter as 'the one'. Explaining his reasons for joining the SAS cast, he said: 'On a personal level, I wanted to test myself mentally.
