Love Island winners 'revealed' before live final result after 'fan error'
Some Love Island fans are afraid they may have scuppered a win for the favourites on the show, and that an unexpected pairing will be the winners. Before the live final hosted by Maya Jama even kicked off on Monday night, fans believed posts on social media gave away who would come out on top.
In the final are four couples, including Toni and Cach, Yasmin and Jamie, Shakira and Harry and Ty and Angel. While Toni, Shakira and Yas have all been tipped to win at points with their partners, more so than more recent arrival Angel, a twist that aired on Sunday night has sparked fears none of them will win.
It comes as most fans tipped Harry and Shakira for the win, after their surprising and last-minute reunion amid a dramatic time in the villa. But after original couple Meg and Dejon were dumped by their former co-stars in brutal scenes on Sunday, it sparked an angry reaction from some fans.
Some viewers now believe that these annoyed fans will do what they can to ensure neither Toni, Shakira or Yas win the show with their partner, amid a long-running 'feud' with Meg, after seeing some comments on social media suggesting a tactical vote was underway. According to the comments, there's a push for votes for Angel and Ty to win over the others.
Now fans think an 'error' on their own part may allow this to happen, and it could cost either Toni, Shakira or Yas the prize money. While only one couple can win and fans seem pretty divided over who should get it, viewers suggested that this split vote would mean there is no majority for any of the couples, and that the votes for each pairing will be very close in numbers.
Fans commented that it could cost Toni and Yas the chance to win the show, as if the vote is hugely split between them as well as there being an apparent tactical vote against them, it could mean Angel and Ty prove the most popular in the overall votes. Taking to social media, many fans guessed that in a surprise, Angel and Ty would walk away with the £50,000.
One viewer posted: "I have a feeling that Ty and Angel will win." Another said: "Good luck Toni & Cach although Angel & Ty will win," as a third agreed: "Angel and Ty will probs win this." On the voting split mistake fans could trigger, one viewer said: "We're gonna end up splitting the vote. Angel & Ty will win."
It comes following the announcement that the All Stars series will return, as single Islanders from across the 10 years of the show will head to the famous Villa in South Africa, but this time they'll be in the villa for six weeks instead of five. Speaking on the renewal, Mike Spencer-Hayter, Creative Director at Lifted Entertainment, said: 'Love Island: All Stars has quickly established itself as a stand-alone hit, keeping fans of the show gripped by iconic Islanders from the past 10 years returning for another chance to find love.
"We are very excited about series 3 and you can expect the twists and turns to continue in All Stars, after an incredible smash hit summer series.' The second series of Love Island: All Stars aired earlier this year, and was won by Gabby Allen and Case O'Gorman. The series also saw the reunion of Ronnie Vint and Harriet Blackmore - but it didn't come without complaints.
In February, the show lodged over 2,000 complaints to Ofcom in its final week, as fans fumed at various stars for their "bullying behaviour". On February 12, there were 1,347 complaints, followed by 820 on February 11, 63 on February 13 and 57 on February 16.
The February 12 episode saw Ekin-Su and Elma clash over the latter's comment about Ekin-Su and Curtis having the weakest connection. Things only got worse between the group when Ekin-Su had kissed Sammy during the heart rate challenge. During the argument, an angry Elma swore at Ekin-Su and Curtis and told them to "shut their mouths".

"I've been asked to do a speaking tour around the country from middle to late September till November, and it's new territory for me because I've never done anything like that before," she revealed. "I have done speeches and things, but it's a chance for me to talk about what does it take to go from being a little girl as I was at nine, picking up a racket for the first time. "What does it take, sort of the apprenticeship of going on that journey to then make it to Wimbledon, and then retiring at 21 and moving into broadcasting, interviewing all these wonderful great champions.

Celebs SAS stars 'to get full fee despite quitting Channel 4 show early'
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins stars will reportedly still get their full fee even if they quit, and three of the contestants are said to have raked in thousands for just minutes on screen Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins stars will reportedly still get their full fee even if they quit the show early. The Channel 4 military-style reality series returned to screens last week with the likes of X Factor legend Lucy Spraggan, footballer Troy Deeney and former drugs mule Michaella McCollum amongst a host of others being put through their paces by the show's tough directors. However, viewers watched as pop star Hannah Spearritt quit the show just minutes into the first episode, and dancer Louie Spencer later realised he could not hack it either so decided to remove his armband and walk off. In episode two, Love Island stars Tasha Ghouri and Chloe Burrows quit on the spot as well. Insiders have claimed that some of the stars are being paid up to £20,000 as an appearance fee and insisted that they will still receive payment in full, no matter what stage of the competition they actually reach. A source told The Sun: "Hannah Spearitt, Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri will all have been paid over £10k - some as much as £20k - but unlike other reality shows, they do get paid if they pull out. So even though Hannah only lasted one minute, she'll still get paid over £10k for that minute." It comes after reports of all the celebrities rumoured to be joining BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2025. The source added that even though it can be 'embarrassing' for celebrities to quit so early, it is "well worth stars signing up even if they don't think they can complete the show just for the payday - it might be embarrassing taking their armband off early in the show, but it's good money!' Hannah who shot to fame as part of S Club 7 before going on to an acting career with roles in shows such as Primeval and EastEnders, was seen struggling. She was sitting on the way to a mission when she told her fellow recruits that she was 'feeling faint'. And just moments later, it was confirmed that the Reach singer had become the first to leave the course as her co-stars speculated that she had suffered a panic attack. However, in a confessional aired seconds beforehand, Hannah, who last year refused to join her bandmates for their reunion tour, had seemed confident in herself as she said: "I am pretty determined. I wouldn't say I give up easily but whether I get to the end or not...I don't think I'll go on the first day because I just wouldn't forgive myself." She went onto tell instructors: "Sorry - I'm done. Sorry. I've reached a point." And she wasn't the only star to fall at the first hurdle, as Pineapple Dance Studios star Louie also dramatically left the show as the tough scenes unfolded. He initially told the cameras as part of his own confessional segment: "If there was a world war and they decided they were gonna call everyone up, would I be the first to jump up and say 'Yes me?' Being surrounded my thousands of soldiers, I might just jump at it. I'd be the home guard like on Dad's Army. We'll have a gay Dad's Army. Honestly, they wouldn't wanna mess with the gays!" But, despite his confidence, just moments later, Chris Fox described the group's effort as "abysmal" after the latest task. He reminded the recruits to think about why they were there and suggested they take things "seriously". Louie piped up: "I wanna do an immediate withdrawal. I just don't have the conviction and I feel as though I'm not dedicated enough," he said as he removed his armband. Chris gave him the chance to put his arm band back on, but Louie refused, so Chris said: "Get your kit." In a previously-filmed confessional, Louie, 56, had said: "I'm a survivor, I would keep battling to survive. I think the worst way for me to leave the course would be to choose to leave. That would really p*** me off," but just seconds later, it was confirmed that he had indeed quit the show." And following their exits, Chloe took to Instagram to rant about why she had quit as she said: ""I was f*****g exhausted and wanted my own bed and a cuddle from my mum. Forgive a girl for being so naive, but jumping at opportunities I'd never thought possible," whilst Tasha is yet to address her exit.
