Host Maya Jama revealed the winning couple for season 12 of the reality dating show during Monday night's live final.
After their names were called, Toni embraced Cach before she thanked the British public for voting for them.
Prior to the reveal Toni confirmed that Cach told her he loved her the night before – and that she had said it back.
Along with the 2025 title, the couple also took home a £50,000 cash prize.
Earlier in the episode the Love Island couples exchanged emotional words to one another.
Toni, who was visibly emotional when making her speech, told Cach: 'I don't think I tell you enough, but the way you treat me has made this whole wacky ass experience worth it.
'I think everyone has seen how happy you've made me, and I feel like a different person. I'm just really thankful to be here with you.
'I don't think anyone's ever treated me as good as you do so thank you. You make me feel like a queen.'

Cach replied: 'I'm proud of you. You're gonna make me cry. You're so unapologetically yourself. It makes it so easy for you to operate the way I operate.
'I feel like our journey has been a roller coaster. I'm grateful for every moment.
'I don't think I could have done it with anybody else, to be honest with you, and I appreciate you.'
Shakira told Harry that he was 'everything' she could want in a partner.
She added: 'It's been an amazing last week and I'm excited for the future.'
Harry replied and said: 'People say days are like weeks in here, but it really felt like I've known you a lifetime, and I'm so excited for the future, and I'll make so much time for you on the outside.
'My priorities have definitely shifted. You are my priority in life right now, so long may that continue.'
Yasmin told Jamie that he became her 'sense of calm'.

'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.
Couples who, despite not winning, remain together include Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen (Season 2), Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury (Season 5) and Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack (Season 8).

Shock jock Howard Stern's show in jeopardy amid cancellation rumors in stunning move that's left staff blindsided
The future of Howard Stern 's 20-year SiriusXM radio show is in jeopardy as the end of his $500million five-year contract looms. Shock jock Stern, 71, has hosted the second incarnation of The Howard Stern Show since 2006, but a show insider confirmed to the Daily Mail that the host is in 'very serious negotiations' with SiriusXM on whether he will renew his contract. Stern's shift from having the most fearsome reputation in American entertainment to being what Kanye West described as an 'irrelevant old man' has been dramatic in recent years and he has faced backlash after admitting he was proudly 'woke'. The insider said: 'He may do a 1-2 year contract if they can meet him where he wants financially. He doesn't want to pull the plug on his employees like this.' A separate source said Stern was considering 'parting ways' with SiriusXM - and that his staff of 'around 95' writers and producers had only recently heard about Stern's indecision over the show's future. They added the star 'will likely sell his catalogue of shows to replay' on uncensored channels Howard 100 and Howard 101. Shock jock Stern, 71, has hosted the second incarnation of The Howard Stern Show since 2006, but a show insider confirmed to the Daily Mail that the host is in 'very serious negotiations' with SiriusXM on whether he will renew his contract - he's pictured with Madonna in 2015 'He is off in the summer but this year has been saying "maybe I should retire"', the source said. It is possible Stern could also return for specials with SiriusXM. The source claimed Stern was also displeased over SiriusXM 'leaning heavily' on fellow radio star Andy Cohen. Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Howard Stern, SiriusXM and Andy Cohen for comment and has yet to hear back. In 2023 after hearing claims that he's 'not good anymore' Stern declared: 'By the way, I kind of take that as a compliment, that I'm woke. I'll tell you how I feel about it. To me the opposite of woke, is being asleep. 'And if woke means I can't get behind Trump, which is what I think it means, or that I support people who want to be transgender or I'm for the vaccine, dude call me woke as you f*****g want.' The radio star's career fell from having 20 million listeners a day to to figures fans believe are as low as 125,000. He has predominately broadcast from his home over the past five years, citing fears over COVID-19. Dubbed the 'King of all Media' - Stern first launched The Howard Stern Show in 1986 on terrestrial radio. Stern decided to take on the challenge of pulling together interviews over the years where he was able to draw out shocking confessions. President Donald Trump has been on the show more than 20 times – calling in or being in the studio because he was willing to say anything. In 1997, he admitted to seeing a lot of women and when asked if he wore a rubber he said he hoped for the best. He also branded daughter Ivanka 'very voluptuous' in an 2006 interview. In 2019 book Howard Stern Comes Again the DJ confessed that his biggest regret is that he never got to apologize to Robin Williams after his interview in the early nineties. 'When Robin came on the show, I spent the entire time badgering him about how he had divorced his first wife and remarried his son's former nanny. I was attacking the guy, and he was justifiably furious with me', Stern writes. Stern only realized years later that he needed to apologize – after years of psychotherapy to understand his own narcissism that had prevented him from even considering what someone else might be feeling. Twenty years after the interview, he got up the nerve but it was too late. Robin died before Stern could make that call. 'I'm still filled with sadness over his loss and remorse for my failure to reach out sooner', he admitted. Kim and Khloe Kardashian came on Stern's show in 2009 and he admitted, 'I didn't understand their talent. I didn't even know if they had one.' So he asked Khloe about dating black men. 'Once you go black, you just never go back,' she said, admitting to only have dated black men. But Kim said Khloe's rule isn't' always true. 'She's only black guys, I'm not'. 'Maybe it's because we have such big a**es, like the black guys like,' Kim said. Both admitted to liking to be spanked, getting their hair pulled and talking dirty in bed. Stern hosted and produced late night television shows, pay-per-view events and home videos, and wrote three books, two of which sold over one million copies. He has become controversial for some comments he made over the years, including saying some of the girls running from the Columbine High School shooting were 'really good looking girls.' 'Did those kids try to have sex with any of those good-looking girls?' he asked on his show, about the shooters. 'They didn't even do that? At least if you're going to kill yourself and kill the kids, why wouldn't you have some sex? If I was going to kill some people, I'd take them out with sex.' In 1992 he also mused that the 'closest I came to making love to a black woman' was when 'I masturbated to a picture of Aunt Jemima on a pancake box,'. In March 1995, when Selena's fans reeled from her shooting he made fun of them, playing gunshots over Selena's music the day before her funeral and mocking Selena's fans with a fake Hispanic accent.

Watch the moment Love Island's Harrison tells Lauren he loves her – before making awkward u-turn
LOVE Island's Harrison tells Lauren he loves her before he makes an awkward u-turn. The interaction had fans cringing and left questioning where the pair's relationship really stands. 6 6 6 The Love Island cast returned to Mallorca this week to celebrate the show's thrilling finale, with the boys and girls staying in separate villas. Footballer Harrison went live on TikTok to chat with his fellow Islanders — including new beau, Lauren. Just as the livestream was wrapping up Harrison told Lauren 'Love you bye' with Lauren replying the same. Not long after Harrison was joined by fellow Islander Ben, when he was asked by a fan if he was still with Lauren. The reality star replied: 'I am very much with Lauren.' 'Man's a lover,' Ben then chimed. Before Harrison swiftly replied: 'Now Love's a bit strong but I am with her for sure.' The u-turn had fans flooding the comments of clips of the stream reuploaded to social media, one user said: 'He just continues to embarrass her omfs.' ''Loves a bit strong but I am with her' is he serious right now ?' added another. 'He does not like her,' chimed a third. Watch as Love Island winner Toni takes final swipe at villa ex Harrison before winning £50k 'The fact that he had to say 'love is a bit strong' really irks me.. he could have just moved over that but he continues being disrespectful to Lauren,' commented a fourth. Earlier in the series, viewers watched Lauren be dumped from the villa in a brutal twist. She begged Harrison to leave alongside her - but he wasn't sure and decided to sleep on it. However, just a day later, he decided to voluntarily walk away from the villa. After leaving the villa, Harrison said his family would play a big part in whether he and Lauren would progress. Speaking on the Love Island: Morning After podcast, Harrison said: "I feel like we want to get to know each other a little bit more away from the villa. "Obviously the villa's a very secluded environment it's different on the outside so it's nice to get to know each other, go on a few dates without cameras and microphones." Looking cosy beside Lauren, he continued: "For me it was a big thing about her meeting my family before I made anything official. But I left the villa for Lauren and I do think a lot of her. I feel like we'll be boyfriend and girlfriend soon, no doubt." An extra spanner in the works is the fact Harrison is based in Miami, and he isn't sure if he wants to return to the UK permanently just yet. 6 6 6

Love Island viewing figures revealed for final as ITV2 show receives ratings boost
The viewing figures for the latest series of Love Island have been revealed, with the ITV2 reality competition's final being watched by an impressive number of fans The viewing figures for the final of the latest series of Love Island have been revealed. The ITV2 reality dating show wrapped up its latest outing on Monday night when Toni Laties and Cach Mercer were voted the nation's favourite couple and walked off with the £50,000 prize. And on Tuesday, it was revealed that the grand finale had pulled in 1.3million viewers, up 300,000 from the All Stars spin-off that aired earlier this year. Along with series 10 in 2023, the figure now holds the joint-highest position since series eight, which was won by Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu in 2022, and pulled in a solid three million viewers. The latest series has seen the highest number of complaints to Ofcom since the 2022 series. A total of 9,339 complaints were made to the broadcasting regulator in this vein whilst a further 298 were made about the way Blu spoke to Toni. Elsewhere, there were 55 complaints about Megan returning to the villa following her democratic dumping and a further 29 complaints expressed their concern for Harry following his breakup with Helena as he opened up about his feelings for Shakira. It comes after Harry's weird fetish on the show had fans left feeling disgusted for a very specific reason. One Islander to face criticism from viewers was Harrison, who quit the series three weeks before the final. Amid his stint on Love Island, a spokesperson for the women's charity issued a statement to the Tab, which included mention of women being "lied to, slut-shamed and manipulated, as well as laughed at behind their backs" during their time on the show. Harrison then addressed the "backlash" in an interview with the Daily Mail, saying he has found it "hard to digest". He told the outlet: "I would disagree with a lot of it in terms of my respect for women, I do respect women." He said that the "worst" reaction had been from Women's Aid. He said: "I know myself and the girls on the show too, Toni said she knows I'm not a bad person, just went about situations in the wrong way, but the Women's Aid statement wasn't nice ... it's not nice coming out of the villa to my mum upset by that so I would say that's been the hardest." Harrison said that he is "sorry" to the women that he has "hurt," before saying that he "got it wrong". He added that the "back and forth" between his connections with Lauren and Toni ended up causing "more harm" than he intended. He however said that it wasn't "an ego thing". The former islander said he isn't proud of the way he handled things in the villa and won't "make excuses". Harrison said that he just wants to "own it" and assured: "If people can give me the space to grow from it, I will do everything I can to be better, and that's the only thing I can do."
