The Twist Before the Final
Only three couples entered the final this year, which is different from past series. This happened because of a new twist in the show (Capital FM). Mica Harris and Samraj Toor were dumped from the villa after receiving the most votes from former Islanders. They were then given the task of dumping another couple from the villa (Parade). Mica and Samraj chose to dump Yasmin Hadlow and Tommy Stagg, which left Jasmine and Kavan, Julia and Lorenzo, and Angelista and Simba as the three finalists (Yahoo).
How Much Money Did They Win
Julia and Lorenzo won the £50,000 prize as a couple, meaning the money is shared between the two of them (AOL). This is close to 66,000 US dollars (Parade). Traditionally, one member of the winning couple is handed an envelope and asked whether they want to split the prize money or keep it all for themselves. Most winning couples in the show’s history have chosen to split the money evenly.

Past Love Island UK Winners
Love Island UK has crowned a new winning couple every summer since it returned to television in 2015. When the show first returned in 2015, Jess Hayes and Max Morley were crowned the winners, taking home £50,000 each (Kiss). The prize amount and structure have stayed largely the same across most series since then, with the winning couple sharing £50,000 between them.
