Your support makes all the difference.Amber and Greg have won Love Island 2019 in a shock final after favourites Tommy and Molly-Mae came in second.
The winning couple was voted for by the public, with runners-up Maura and Curtis, and Ovie and India coming 4th and 3rd, respectively.
In the live final, the couples attended a “ball” where they were able to dress up and read declarations of love to one another, with many viewers praising Greg and Ovie’s speeches for being particularly moving.
As presenter Caroline Flack announced the winning couple, Amber was shown with a shocked look on her face. As per tradition, one half of the couple was asked to choose whether to take the money for themselves or split it with their partner -- Greg chose to split the £50,000 winnings with Amber.

Right, so this is my prediction of who's going to win/runners up in descending order:
Tommy and Molly-Mae to win.
Ovie and India – first runners up
Greg and Amber – second runners up
Maura and Curtis – third runners up
Oh god, Curtis has written a fairy tale for Maura. This is when you can sort the Oscar Wildes from the Katie Prices.
"I cannot wait to experience the outside world with you," says Curtis, thinking about that Strictly Come Dancing gig.
Eek it's Ovie's turn.
"I came into this Love Island villa looking for an opportunity to find someone special..." HE DID A SHOUT-OUT TO AMBER.
