Host Maya Jama announced the winners this evening (ITV)<\/p>\n
Cach replied: \u201cI\u2019m proud of you. You\u2019re gonna make me cry. You\u2019re so unapologetically yourself. It makes it so easy for you to operate the way I operate.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like our journey has been a roller coaster. I\u2019m grateful for every moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think I could have done it with anybody else, to be honest with you, and I appreciate you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shakira told Harry that he was \u201ceverything\u201d she could want in a partner.<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cIt\u2019s been an amazing last week and I\u2019m excited for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harry replied and said: \u201cPeople say days are like weeks in here, but it really felt like I\u2019ve known you a lifetime, and I\u2019m so excited for the future, and I\u2019ll make so much time for you on the outside.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy priorities have definitely shifted. You are my priority in life right now, so long may that continue.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yasmin told Jamie that he became her \u201csense of calm\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t tell you enough, but I\u2019m so genuinely appreciative of you and everything you\u2019ve done for me in here because my journey would be so, so shit without you,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Jamie replied: \u201cEvery day, I get a feeling of wanting to be around you more and more and knowing that this journey is coming to an end, that we won\u2019t be able to spend every second with each other, it\u2019s gonna make me really miss this place, but I know that on the outside world, we\u2019ve got some great things coming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Angel recalled having a \u201cspark\u201d with Ty from the very beginning, adding that he is \u201cso thoughtful\u201d.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cI can\u2019t wait for outside life with you. I literally couldn\u2019t be happier.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ty replied: \u201cI want to thank you and the Love Island gods for sending you in.<\/p>\n
\u201cI kind of didn\u2019t know where I was, and kind of lost myself a bit. I couldn\u2019t find my feet and I feel like you came at the perfect time.\u201d<\/p>\n
