Who won Love Island All Stars 2026? Winning couple revealed as fans blast 'boring' result that saw surprising couple take crown

Maya Jama returned to the South African villa alongside this year’s finalists and returning islanders as the result of All Stars 2026 were revealed.

The ITV2 reality dating show has been entertaining fans over the past six weeks, with many branding the series as one of the best edition of Love Island in the past few years. With plenty of drama, twists, and turns, the show finally reached its conclusion.

Whitney and Yamen were the first of the five finalist couples to leave the competition. The couple got together after the arrivals of the American islanders in Villa USA. Whitney had previously been with Konnor before striking up a connection with Yamen.

Prior to the live final, Lucinda and Sean were one of the favourites to take the crown, so fans were shocked when they ended up placing fourth in the final. The duo had been at the centre of drama in the villa, most notably involving Belle after Lucinda and Sean formed a connection while she was at Villa USA.

Scott and Leanne, the other couple who topped the bookies’ odds to win the series, finished in third place. The pair had been partnered up for most of the series, but did find themselves in some drama throughout.

They were both shocked when US islander Sher decided to briefly steal Scott in one recoupling, while they also butted heads with Belle, who expressed an interest in Scott but angered the pair after claiming that they would last a week on the outside before sliding into her DMs.

The final two were confirmed as Millie & Zac and Samie & Ciaran. Maya then revealed that viewers had voted Samie & Ciaran as the Love Island All Stars series three winners.

The winning couple looked stunned by the result, and some viewers at home were just as surprised by the result.

One viewer took to social media to say: “A couple with no screentime and chemistry winning because of facebook.”

Another added: “Best way to put it. Brought absolutely nothing all season, had the most easy journey & were fillers to be in the final. Didn’t deserve to win, boring & uninteresting.”

However, others backed Samie & Brian and celebrated their win. One delighted fan said: “ Samie & Ciaran are one of the most genuine couples in Love Island history [in my opinion] & deserved to win. I don’t ever expect any couple on LI to last tbh, but I’ll be genuinely sad if they don’t work out cause I think they’re great together.”
