Greg and Amber win Love Island 2019

Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

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.

And the third runner-up is....

OVIE AND INDIA.

Alisha: "If it was Ovie on his own, he would have won."

I love that Ovie has treated this whole thing like a science experiment.

Rick Edwards is still mortified about Caroline Flack's comment, as are we all https://twitter.com/rickedwards1/status/1155944890863243266

Right, so we're down to the final two couples even though I imagine everyone has turned off their TVs after Caroline said 'dead ting'.

This comment follows disappointment that she didn't hurl Ellie-Belly into the firepit.

Amber is great. Saying she wouldn't go back to someone after they did what Michael did.

It's funny, looking back at Tommy and Molly-Mae's relationship, it's actually been one of the most tumultuous.

roisin.oconnor29 July 2019 22:20

Tommy doesn't like shapes. Never did.

roisin.oconnor29 July 2019 22:22

And the winner is....

GREG AND AMBER
