The winners of Love Island UK 2026 were crowned Monday night with Angelista Gunda and Simba Kudyiwa, who share Zimbabwean heritage claiming a creditable third place.

Julia Majchrzak and Lorenzo Alessi claimed the top prize of £50,000, beating runners-up Jasmine Muller and Kavan Murphy.

Simba, who turned 25 in the villa, told Maya his first plan with nurse Angelista once they left the show would be to celebrate her 25th birthday, which is on Tuesday.

For the first time in the history of the UK series, only three couples were in the final after several shock twists rocked the villa during Sunday’s episode.

The dating show, which is on its 13th UK series, has tried to keep viewers on their toes over the past eight weeks by bringing in 32 islanders.
