Love Island will be coming to an end in just a few days. The final is just around the corner and the couples will be dreaming of victory.

Remind yourself who is currently coupled-up and the timeline of all the couples this season. See which stars have been dumped during the season. Oddschecker has rounded up the latest odds heading into the last few days of Love Island and one couple has emerged as a clear favourite. Meanwhile some of the other couples are not fancied at all by the bookies. If you love TV, check out our Screen Babble podcast to get the latest in TV and film. 1 . Angel and Ty - 25/1 Angel has been a late addition to the villa and couple-up with Ty at the most recent re-coupling.

Megan and Conor - 10/1 Megan was one of the islanders who made a surprise return - having previously been dumped from the villa.

Meg and Dejon - 8/1 Despite being the only couple to have stayed together from Day One, Meg and Dejon are not currently one of the favourites to win Love Island.

Shakira and Harry - 13/2 Shakira and Harry have had a rocky road throughout the season, initially being paired up a couple of times in the middle of the season before reuniting again here at the very end.

BBC star emerges as surprising new contender to play next James Bond
A surprising new candidate has emerged in the running to play the role of James Bond. Six years after Daniel Craig announced his retirement from the franchise, fans are wildly speculating who may take on the role of 007. Former favourite Idris Elba, 52, previously ruled himself out from playing the British spy, while other hotly tipped actors, including James Norton and Theo James, have not confirmed any involvement. The current front-runner to become Bond is Aaron Taylor-Johnson, while bookies' Ladbrokes have also given preferential odds to the likes of Henry Cavill, Jack Lowden, and Tom Hardy. But now, a new name is in the running: 37-year-old actor Scott Rose-Marsh. The actor, who is currently eighth-favourite for the part according to Oddschecker, is a relative unknown compared to other candidates. He previously appeared in movies like Wolves of War and Code of Silence, but is otherwise a lesser-known film star. This shake-up of the candidate list comes after Amazon MGM Studios announced that Denis Villeneuve will helm the next James Bond film in a dramatic move. The move marks a creative shift for the 007 franchise, signaling a new era for Britain's most iconic spy. The Canadian director, best known for directing Dune and Dune: Part Two, as well as Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, Sicario, and Prisoners, expressed reverence for the character. 'Some of my earliest movie-going memories are connected to 007,' he said in a statement released Wednesday. 'I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr. No with Sean Connery. I'm a die-hard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory.' While acknowledging the enormous expectations, Villeneuve said he intends to 'honour the tradition and open the path for many new missions to come.' He called the opportunity 'a massive responsibility, but also, incredibly exciting for me and a huge honour.' The announcement comes during a period of major upheaval behind the scenes of the Bond universe. More Trending Amazon Studios officially purchased MGM for $8.45billion (£6.7billion) in 2022, with a new agreement over creative control meaning Bond — and whoever is next to play 007 – is entirely under the streamer's control. It is a landmark decision as family-run Eon Productions has brought Bond to the big screen since the franchise began. After decades of tight creative control, producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson – heirs to the franchise through their father, original Bond producer Albert 'Cubby' Broccoli – have ceded key decision-making power to Amazon MGM Studios. Given all the changes in the franchise, it's perhaps not surprising if a relatively unknown actor like Scott Rose-Marsh takes on the role. Got a story?
