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).

Prince William 'insists he's addressed in one way and one way only'
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The British public appears to be harbouring resentment towards Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, with one Royal expert suggesting "it will go on as long as the Palace wants it to." With rumours of a potential meeting between Harry and King Charles in September, it seems the Palace might be softening its stance slightly, indicating room for reconciliation. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that Prince William is ready to welcome Harry back with open arms. According to Ian Pelham Turner, it's not just Harry who's facing criticism. He claims that William has insisted his staff address him as "Sir,". The former Royal photographer commented, "There's something going on with William." We had the opportunity to chat with Mr. Pelham Turner via Zoom. His career at the Palace overlapped with both Princess Diana and the then Prince Charles, and he transitioned from photography to television while maintaining a keen interest in the Royal Family, reports the Mirror US. As part of the media circle covering the royals, Pelham Turner shared his insider knowledge, revealing that there have been complaints about the Prince of Wales from his employees. Claims about Prince William. Despite presenting a gentle image during Royal engagements, behind closed doors, it seems William may be less affable. The Royal commentator stated: "Now, for me, we hear a lot more now that more and more allegations, and that's all that you can say about William, are coming out." He added: "It's coming out that his staff find him, at times, very aggressive, and I know one of his many supporters, for his housing charity, and this guy is a volunteer, and he was telling me that William is constantly on to him all day, all night, saying, 'How much money have we made? How much money have we made?'". Beyond being aggressive, Pelham Turner claims William's demeanour has shifted, noting that whilst he was relaxed during his twenties and thirties, now in his forties with his sights set on the throne, he has become considerably more formal, demanding people address him as "Sir," rather than using his first name. "From what we hear, there's been a subtle change in William, anyway, in the past, when Harry was around, and they were in their twenties and their thirties, they could always be addressed as William and Harry, now he doesn't allow that, he wants to be addressed as 'Sir.'". Staff members say he's 'aggressive'. Harry and Charles' representatives held a face-to-face meeting in London recently, and it's being reported this marked the initial step towards a potential reconciliation between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, particularly King Charles. However, there was no representation for William, which Pelham Turner found rather significant. He said: "I thought it was very poignant that none of William's team was at that meeting, and I think that picture was more a picture to William than it was to the rest of the world." Harry's two representatives and Charles's representative were spotted on the balcony of a restaurant, a move which Pelham Turner believes was intentional to send a message to William that this is happening, whether he's involved or not.

Cowardice of C-listers on Celeb SAS: WDW is bad enough – but the bigger failure was the ‘interrogation' of Rebecca Loos
THE worst thing about Love Island contestants? They never go away. 7 They either reappear on the winter version or they start polluting every other reality format in the schedule with their me, me, me schtick. With TV's worst-affected show currently being Channel 4's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, which has lumbered itself with Adam Collard, Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri, who are convinced the public know them best for. . . . 'being a bit of a lothario', 'snogging lots of boys' and just generally acting the a***hole on Love Island. A spectacular delusion, given 99.99 per cent of the public probably wouldn't recognise them if they abseiled into their bathtubs wearing a name tag. Which only goes to highlight the conflict of priorities at the heart of this show. Pointlessly famous Because, while Foxy, Billy and the heroic Special Forces instructors are quite rightly looking for 'people with grit and determination who can make their country proud', Channel 4's production team are ruthlessly hunting down over-sharing exhibitionists who will bury their country's reputation under 100 tonnes of self-pity and too much bloody information. Just how badly the SAS boys lost that battle of wills can best be gauged by this year's line-up. As well as the three Love Island contestants, others wearing the tell-tale smirk of the pointlessly famous include: Louie Spence, S Club's Hannah Spearritt, Harry Clark from The Traitors, 'Peru Two' drug mule Michaella McCollum and the compulsory drag queen whose real name is Thomas George Graeme Hibbitts, so you can probably understand why the poor frightened little soul decided to call himself Bimini Bon-Boulash. Boxer Conor Benn is also present, along with footballers Troy Deeney and Adebayo Akinfenwa who should probably be slightly wary about 'TV personality and yoga instructor' Rebecca Loos, last seen bringing a pig to climax on Channel 5's The Farm, back in 2005, who remains stuck in a Catch-22 situation all of her own making. She desperately wants to move on from her alleged affair with David Beckham, but cannot shut the hell up about him. A problem that wasn't helped by instructor Chris Oliver, who invited Loos to talk about him again, during an 'interrogation', with the words: 'I'd be interested to get your take on it.' But then missed a trick, once she'd finally exhausted herself on the subject, by failing to add: 'No, not Beckham, I was talking about the Channel 5 pig.' Celeb SAS Who Dares Wins full line up revealed with ex Premier League footballer, pop icon and THREE Love Islanders Say what you like about her, though, Rebecca Loos is far from the most brittle member of this feeble celebrity line-up which started to disintegrate almost as soon as the opening credits were done. First to go was Hannah Spearritt, who didn't even reach for the third ad break, let alone the stars. She was swiftly followed by Louie Spence and then the two Love Island girls who got the shortest shrift of all, from Chris Oliver, after voluntarily withdrawing on the way to the Hang Tough challenge. 'What do you mean VW?' he screamed. 'You haven't fookin' done anything yet.' You could tell the production team were also livid and probably angry with themselves, for choosing such obvious quitters, as they decided to replay the contestants' opening words of defiance straight after they handed in their armbands. Hannah Spearritt: 'I'm pretty determined. I wouldn't say I give up easily.' Louie Spence: 'I'm a survivor.' Chloe Burrows: 'It's really hard for me to say what it would take for me to VW.' 7 7 7 It is? Then I'll say it for her. It took a tiny slope. Not even a hill, a slope was just too much of an obstacle to overcome, so Chloe quit and hopefully exited public life, just as John Barrowman did last year. Two acts of cowardice that'll hopefully jolt C4 into reviewing their recruitment procedure as all the tears and histrionics of these 'TV personalities' tend to obscure the fact there is actually a contest of sorts going on in the background. Barring injury, the eventual winner will probably be Conor Benn, Troy Deeney or Adam Collard, but definitely not rapper Lady Leshurr, who made a 26ft leap into an Anglesey harbour look like the annual Birdman of Bognor challenge. She possibly provided the soundbite of the series so far, though, when Chris Oliver eventually hauled her out of the Irish Sea and asked: 'How did you find that?' 'Traumatic and salty.' SHOW'S GON OFF THE BOIL BBC1 introduced us to the best-named MasterChef contestant of all time, this week. He's Gon, from Thailand. As opposed to Gregg and John, who are gone from pretty much everywhere. Also missing, from Wednesday evening's audience, was our ever-indignant Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy, who described BBC1's decision to go ahead with the MasterChef series as 'absolutely appalling'. A slight step-up, incidentally, on the way Lisa recently described the Palestinian terrorist organisation Hamas, responsible for murdering 1,195 Israelis, on October 7, who were merely 'appalling'. Personally speaking, though, I cannot summon Lisa's levels of fury over MasterChef any more than I could avoid spluttering when John said: 'Get your mousselines out, Penelope', during the guest judge round. For Gregg and John are clearly a pair of oafs who should've been reeled in or sacked years ago, just as surely as EastEnders should avoid repeating the finger-wagging lecture about Joel's toxic masculinity which preceded Wednesday's show. Unless, of course, the BBC wants to look like the most self- righteous hypocrites on the planet. But boycotts are for students and watching MasterChef is punishment enough for any man. So I took my medicine on Wednesday night and immediately found myself in a battle with acute drowsiness, during the mystery box test. The moment John started fretting about the texture of yet another risotto, though? I was . . . what's the word? Gone. Random TV irritations ARROGANT Tipping Point: Lucky Stars contestant Matt Dawson ordering Ben Shephard to 'move on' rather than saying pass. The preening self-satisfaction of GMB's holiday cover pundit Nels Abbey, whose stupidity manages to make Ed Balls look like Jeremy bloody Paxman. And drag queen Bimini Bon-Boulash claiming to be 'flying the flag for misfits', on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins which, given there's a bloke in a skirt on nearly every mainstream show, is the very last thing he's doing. He's flying the rainbow flag for establishment cliches. TV gold THE genius and extraordinary back story of Billy Joel getting the treatment they richly deserve from Sky Documentaries' brilliant six- hour, two-parter And So It Goes. Kevin Rowland putting the Jocky Wilson debate to bed on BBC2's hugely enjoyable Dexys At The BBC (it was deliberate). Love Island's Unseen Bits playing The Addams Family music to the arrival of the islanders' relatives on ITV2. SAS: Who Dares Wins legend Billy Billingham lacing the question, 'What does 'Bimini' do?' with more contempt than you'd ever imagine four words could carry. And the Sky Sports presenter, late on Sunday, who said: 'Making their return to the Scottish Premiership, Full Cock.' Before she corrected herself, rather unnecessarily in my opinion. 'Falkirk.' Lookalike of the week 7 Sent in by Gordon Montgomery. GREAT TV lies and delusions of the month. Cooking With the Stars, Jordan North: 'You see Rosemary Shrager on the telly and you think, 'That's why you're proud to be British'.' BBC News: 'Last night, England fans were celebrating the Lionesses' win and the world was celebrating with them.' (Was it really, though?) And Love Island, Cach Mercer: 'Everything happens for a reason.' Says a man who has clearly never watched Destination X. DESTINATION X, episode three clue, Saskia: 'It was football, but it was a picture of Harry Kane. Do you know who he is?' James: 'Of course I know who Harry Kane is. He's fit.' Conclusion: He really doesn't know who Harry Kane is. BROADSHEET interview, Nish Kumar: 'I was awful for the first five years of stand-up, but slowly momentum built.' And now he's completely awful. TIPPING Point, Ben Shephard: 'With a natural lifespan that can exceed 120 years, what animal is an orange roughy?' Bzzzz. Judith Chalmers?

Alison Moyet says she is ‘away from' French wildfire after being caught in blaze
Moyet, 64, is best known for being part of the synth-pop duo Yazoo with former Depeche Mode musician Vince Clarke. The singer, whose real name is Genevieve Alison-Jane Ballard, was on holiday in Aude when she documented the wildfire blazing through parts of the region. To follow up. All for us ended well. Thank you. Away from the fire now though the smell pervades the air everywhere. Desperately sorry for all inhabitants of this region and the havoc this catastrophe has wrought on their beautiful land. #Aude #incendi — Alison Moyet (@AlisonMoyet) August 7, 2025 The first posts, which included a photograph of the fire captured from her room, were shared on Wednesday with the singer adding that she was figuring out 'how to leave'. She posted an update on X on Thursday which said: 'All for us ended well. Thank you. 'Away from the fire now though the smell pervades the air everywhere. 'Desperately sorry for all inhabitants of this region and the havoc this catastrophe has wrought on their beautiful land.' Reports on Wednesday said the wildfires had burned an area larger than Paris and killed one woman. Moyet began her career in a succession of punk bands before forming the group behind the hit songs Don't Go and Only You. After Yazoo disbanded in 1983, Moyet embarked on a solo career and a year later released her debut album Alf, which went to number one in the UK. In 1985 she was named best British female solo artist at the Brit Awards and was made an MBE in 2021 for services to music. The Essex-born singer has sold more than 23 million records around the world and released her latest studio album Key last year.
