Five couples made the final of the third series of Love Island: All Stars
This article contains spoilers for the Love Island: All Stars final.
They survived a delayed start because of South African wildfires and an invasion from American bombshells, but the latest Love Island: All Stars winners have been revealed.
Host Maya Jama crowned the couple during Monday's live final after six weeks of drama, grafting and recoupling.
Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies took the top spot following a public vote, picking up the £50,000 cash prize.
Previous Love Island winner Millie Court came second with her partner Zac Woodworth, while Scott van-der-Sluis and Leanne Amaning came third.
Samie and Ciaran, who have been "exclusive" as a couple in the villa for a while, looked shocked when they were announced as winners of All Stars' third series.
Asked what was next, Samie said they had planned a weekend in Wales, with Gavin and Stacey tourist spot Barry Island top of their list.
Ciaran, who's from south Wales, described Samie as "a bit of me", while she said none of the other male contestants "touched the sides compared to Ciaran".
The pair join previous winners Molly Smith and Tom Clare, as well as Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman, in the Love Island: All Stars hall of fame.
They'll be hoping their futures match Molly and Tom, who are now engaged, rather than Gabby and Casey who split up not long after their 2025 win.
The final on ITV2 also saw Lucinda Strafford and Sean Stone come fourth, with Whitney Adebayo and Yamen Sanders finishing fifth.

Samie looked shocked when Maya Jama announced she'd won with Ciaran
Last year, ITV told BBC Newsbeat streams on ITVX were up 9% year on year, and figures from TikTok show one million people followed Love Island's official account in 2025.
Producers were keen to capitalise on that for the latest All Stars, which saw six American bombshells enter in their own Casa Amor villa halfway through.
Only two of them made the final, including second-place Zac who hit it off with series seven winner Millie straight away.
"Villa USA was the best experience for me and I found this one," Millie told host Maya in the final.
"Health and safety is our greatest priority and will always come first, and therefore the transmission of Love Island: All Stars will be delayed until a date to be confirmed," the show posted on Instagram at the time.

Sealed with a kiss... Samie and Ciaran are the latest All Stars winners
Monday's night's All Stars final was watched by around 659,000 people, according to the overnight TV viewing figures.
ITV told Newsbeat it didn't have numbers for that episode yet, but said most of the audience get their Love Island fix on streaming service ITVX, where it's the most-watched show.
It also said the recent series had been streamed 100 million times.
The overnight figures are only slightly better than the start of the series in January, which attracted fewer than 500,000 viewers.
ITV said those were "not inclusive of engagement" on ITVX or YouTube - and said the total when those platforms were included rose to 2.2 million.
The first episode of last June's summer Love Island series was watched by 2.6 million people, almost double 2023's low of 1.3 million.
But all of them are a long way from its 2019 heyday when six million of us tuned in to see Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea win series five.
ITV also used the All Stars final to confirm the main show would be returning for series 13 in Mallorca this summer.
And a source told The Sun that Maya, who's hosted the dating show since taking over from Laura Whitmore in 2023, would also be returning.
