After two months of coupling up, bombshells, and head-turning, the winter series of Love Island came to an end on Monday night (March 13). And fans of the ITV2 dating show were delighted to see Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan crowned as the winners of the ninth series, but only the second-ever winter run.
The pair beat fellow couples Lana Jenkins and Ron Hall, who landed up in second place, and Samie Elishi and Tom Clare, who finished in third position, during the final episode which saw host Maya Jama return to the South African villa. Tanya Mahenga and Shaq Muhammad placed fourth following a public vote.
The last episode of the series saw the four remaining girls leave the villa for a luxurious spa day, before returning to share declarations of love with their partners. Decked out in tuxedos and elegant dresses, the contestants each gathered by the pool before standing to read to each other in front of a heart-shaped arch.
