Love Island All Stars viewers left shocked after 2025 winners crowned

Independent18-02-2025

Love Island All Stars fans were left shocked as the show's unlikely winners were crowned on Monday (17 February).
The reality dating series presented by host Maya Jama returned for its second season earlier this year, with a host of ex-Islanders returning to find love.
But this year's series was arguably packed with more conflict than romance, as Islanders butted heads on everything from DMs sent outside the villa to WhatsApp screenshots. The disorder continued in a chaotic live final in which more accusations were flung across the garden.
Harriet Blackmore and Ronnie Vint were unceremoniously dumped from the South African villa on Sunday (16 February) by former contestants who flew over to share their thoughts on who was compatible.
It left Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame, Casey Gorman and Gabby Allen, Luca Bish and Grace Rosa, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard, Elma Pazar and Sammy Root in the final.
After a huge blowout with Ekin and Curtis, fan favourite Elma and her partner Sammy fell from grace and finished last as the vote results were announced. Catherine and Omar finished fourth, with Ekin and Curtis in a respectable third place after a rocky journey.
Luca and Grace, although receiving the loudest cheers in the studio during the live final, finished as runners up.
Casey and Gabby were announced winners of All Stars 2025.
It marks Casey's third attempt at the show after first appearing in season nine in 2023, as well as starring in the inaugural season of the spin-off All Stars last year. During the show's run, he was often accused of chasing 'clout' as aspersions were cast on his intentions for joining the dating programme repeatedly.
Ex-Islander Kaz Crossley called him out for the way he handled relationships outside the villa, with former fling Tina Stinnes saying she was hurt by his behaviour after they spent a night together in the real world.
But Casey found something he says he had always been looking for in season two star Gabby. The pair's journey was smooth sailing throughout, with barely a bump in the road.
'So rigged', said one fan as the results were announced.
'I watched Love Island All Stars Season 2 religiously just for Casey and Gabby to win? This makes no sense', said another sharing a gif of a man smashing his TV.
'They gave absolutely nothing', complained another.
However, others were more relieved that their opponents weren't crowned the winners: 'I'm so glad Luca and Grace didn't win.'
Casey and Gabby's supporters, however, praised the couple for keeping out of the drama and focusing on their connection.
'Say what you want, but I'm actually really happy that Gabby & Casey won because they were drama free most of the season and managed to stay in the shadows and they gave me no reason to dislike them', added one supporter.

Here are the moments that had the nation gasping, groaning… and tweeting in horror cringe capers Love Island's most embarrassing moments from Heart Rate Challenge that sparked complaints to act that left fans 'sick' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island has never been short of jaw-dropping antics - but some moments have left fans totally cringing. From steamy lap dances during the infamous Heart Rate Challenge that sparked Ofcom complaints, to toe-curling scenes that left viewers saying they were 'sick in their mouth,' the ITV2 dating show has served up some truly unforgettable - and deeply embarrassing - TV gold. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 11 Ekin-Su and Curtis put on a passionate display sparking Ofcom complaints Credit: Eroteme 11 Viewers were left in hysterics as Anton thought Anna was going to pick him to couple up with Credit: ITV Over the years, Islanders have pulled out all the stops to impress - or mortify - their fellow contestants, with grinding, stripping and even role-play making regular appearances. But while some fans are living for the drama, others were left hiding behind their pillows - or reaching for the remote. From outrageous outfits to awkward encounters, here are the moments that had the nation gasping, groaning… and tweeting in horror. Curtis dancing for Ekin-Su 11 Viewers were not impressed with the couple's actions and called Ofcom Credit: Eroteme The Love Island heart rate challenge is a firm favourite among fans and sees the Islanders put on a sexy show to get their co-stars hot under the collar. But it was on Love Island: All Stars where viewers saw the most raunchiest version of the game so far. Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu transformed into a cheeky devil and recreated her iconic crawl across the terrace from series eight in 2022. But it was Curtis Pritchard's Heart Rate challenge that was the most hotly-anticipated, with the All Stars and viewers being sent into a frenzy. Curtis channelled his inner King Julien from Madagascar after his 2019 Heart Rate challenge performance. Rocking some blue shiny shorts, which were tightly fitted and left very little to the imagination, Curtis also rocked a huge feathery headdress in a blue hue. Thrusting in the girls' faces, twerking and moving his body seductively, Curtis then knee slid on the floor leaving his co-stars and viewers at home gobsmaked. Ekin-Su couldn't keeps her hands of him as she passionately snogged Curtis on the floor - as the villa boys ran off in shock. Ekin even rubbed her man's face into her cleavage and moved his head up and down her body. Viewers were left watching through their fingers as the pair appeared to romp wearing barely any clothes and slammed the episode as "porn". The steamy moment sent social media into meltdown - with fans branding it "too much" for pre-watershed TV. Fans were not impressed with the couple's actions and called Ofcom. Liberty told that Jake doesn't love her 11 Liberty's love bubble burst when her friends told her that Jake isn't genuine Credit: ITV Fans were left cringing after a very awkward moment when the girls inadvertently told Liberty Poole her romance with Jake Cornish wouldn't work. During a typically candid chat on the terrace Priya asked the group if you can come back from not wanting to rip someone's clothes off as she discussed her relationship with Brett. The group pretty much unanimously said it wasn't possible - leaving Liberty looking a tad baffled. Liberty was devastated when she was shown footage of Jake talking about her. In scenes that left her reeling, he said: 'She's not all that. "It's not 100 per cent. I haven't got the girl, that I'm like, f**k me, I want to rip her clothes off. I don't want to fake it, do you know what I mean?" At the time, stunned Lib asked the girls: "What does that mean he doesn't think I'm fit?" as one said: "No, it was just early days." But Liberty wasn't convinced and later told producers in the Beach Hut: "To hear that coming from your partner, saying I didn't want to rip her clothes off, I don't fancy her, or know if the attraction is there, it is brutal." Jake finally told her he loved her after weeks of waiting - but the news didn't go down well with the other Islanders who thought he was just saying it to get her off his back. Chloe Burrows asked Liberty: "Do you not think he's telling you what he wants to hear?" Liberty replied: "Is that what all you guys think? Do you think I'm being an idiot?" Despite protests from their fellow Islanders, Liberty and Jake made it to the final - but then Liberty had doubts about their relationship and left the villa. Charlie's heart rate challenge 11 The moment left viewers feeling "sick" Credit: ITV Viewers were horrified by Charlie Radnedge's performance as a naked butler. He stunned fans by performing a string of X-rated moves during the heart rate challenge. He started off doing the worm dance move before awkwardly whipping off his trousers. Unfortunately, Charlie was unable to get his butler's trousers off in one clean move. The estate agent stood in front of the girls in a tong and admitted he wanted to keep it "PG". The moment left viewers with "sick in their mouths" and called for Charlie to be "arrested". Yewande sits on Danny 11 Yewande's idea of pda is questionable Credit: ITV Yewande Biala is forced to look on as Danny and Arabella Chi lock lips as part of the kissing competition. Arabella goes to town when smooching Danny, while Yewande - who was coupled up with Danny - said: "I think Arabella kind of went for it with Danny." Yewande later made a vow to up the romance with Danny after she was accused of not showing him enough affection. After pouncing on him for a kiss, Yewande can be seen sitting on Danny as he talks to Arabella. Talking about the incident in the Beach Hut, Arabella says: "I think literally sitting on somebody when they're just having a chat with someone was a little bit strange. I was a bit like, hmmm okay." Joey Essex's Rap 11 Joey just couldn't forget about the "secret mission" Credit: ITV Joey Essex performed a rap during the Love Island talent show, which garnered mixed reactions. He was styled in a backwards cap and wrap around sunglasses while he performed a rap he had written on his phone. The rap was directed at his girlfriend, Jessy May Potts, and included a "secret mission" element that caused some awkwardness. Rapping to girlfriend Jessy he said: "Jessy when you picked me for that date it was fate. With my crown on my head. But I lost the cape, Yeah. Going back in the garden was very bake but I risked it all for you girl, after the game of heart rate check it. "I'll tell you the truth on how I really feel I'm on top of the world and our connection is real. You're a little sort, and you stood on some toes, as it goes. "You're the one for me. You're my cup of tea. And it bringing out the best in me. I'm lucky to have you by my side. Or let it slide. It's me and you now, baby, you're my rid or die, Let's go!" As the klaxon sounded a third time, the other contestants applauded but Joey told them, "Wait, wait, wait. When I say secret - you say mission. Secret..." There was an awkward silence and then Joey asked: "Anyone?" And he then added: "Well that didn't go that well did it?" Anton thinks he's getting picked 11 Anton made a huge assumption that left viewers in hysterics Credit: ITV Viewers were left in hysterics after spotting Anton Danyluk's face drop when Anna Vakili picked Sherif over him. The gym owner thought he was certain to be picked by the statuesque beauty when she mentioned that the boy she was choosing had a really good body. The cheeky Scotsman had made it clear he thought Anna was hot and had tried to make a play for her several times. And standing in the line up it appeared as though he thought his luck was in as Anna stood up and started revealing the reasons why she wanted to pick this person. Anna said: "I would like to couple up with this boy because in such a short amount of time I've come to really care about him. "I feel like everytime I'm a bit down he seems to put a smile on my face." However it was when Anna said: "He's got a really sexy body, which is not bad to look at as well" - that Anton broke into a wide smile. But when Anna picked Sherif, Anton couldn't hide his disappointment and viewers didn't miss it either. One wrote: I can't stop laughing to myself @Anton thinking Anna was talking about him #loveisland While another joked: "Dying that Anton thought that Anna was talking about him and then picked sherif #loveisland And a third added: "Anton with the little smile, well that was awkward #loveisland" Molly watches Zac's gym session 11 Fans dubbed Molly as a "stalker" Credit: ITV Love Island viewers were left in hysterics after Molly Marsh crashed Zachariah's workout with new bombshell Charlotte. Dubbing the move as "stalking", fans watched as Molly made her way over to the gym area to watch. Noticing the move, other islands were quick to comment on her antics. Jess Harding in particular voiced her opinion, calling her actions "so obvious". Overhearing, Molly then called out Jess, telling her to "come join." As Charlotte walked away, Jess even pushed her to "go back". Taking to Twitter as the episode aired, fans couldn't help but laugh at the tension, claiming Molly was exhibiting her partner Mitch's behaviour. One fan wrote: "Molly is on Mitch level crazy now". "Molly and Mitchell - mr and mrs unhinged", another agreed. A third added: "I take back what I said about Mitch 10 minutes ago... Molly is your soul mate". Olivia's Casa Speech 11 Viewers watching at home called out Olivia's double standards Credit: ITV Olivia Hawkins was called out for her double standards after she took a swipe at Kai Fagan - despite recoupling in Casa Amor herself. She might have walked back into the Love Island villa with a new man on her arms, but Olivia's takedown of Kai saw her come under fire from viewers. While Kai faced a "very tough decision" when choosing to couple up with Sanam Harrinanan, he said he hoped Olivia had found a connection in the days they spent apart. But when she walked back in with Maxwell Samuda... Olivia immediately let loose. Olivia said: "It's very telling, and I can't say I'm shocked. Missing me already? Clearly not enough." Kai replied: "After a couple of days apart I could tell what is genuine and what isn't… and I think I've got a real genuine now." However, Olivia didn't miss her chance to jump in and told Kai everything he'd told her were "lies". Viewers watching at home called out her double standards. Taking to X - formerly Twitter - one said: "Why is Olivia being like that? She literally recouped too." Another fan added: "Olivia you walk in with someone else then act shocked he done the same???" A third penned: "Sorry... has Olivia not got a whole new man on her arm???? I'm confused." Mitch's Roast 11 Mitch's roast left no on laughing Credit: ITV Mitch Taylor has left Whitney Adebayo fuming after making a disastrous joke about her relationship with Lochan Nowacki. The islanders went head-to-head in the fan favourite talent show challenge in a bid to impress each other. But unfortunately for Mitch, his "roast" skit falls flat as he ripped into Whitney and Lochan's romance. His big moment came after Lochan showed off his frisbee throwing skills for his talent, telling his co-stars that he "played frisbee for Great Britain" a decade ago. Clutching at his piece of paper, Mitch said: "This is my 2023 Love Island roast. "Whitney and Lochan, you haven't been through a hard time just yet. "But until you get out this villa, and them DMs start flying, them frisbee skills aren't going to get you anywhere, son." Unfortunately, no one laughed. Instead, a furious-looking Whitney muttered that the only noise in the garden is "the crickets".
