Love Island: the psychological challenges contestants – and viewers – could face after the show is over

Love Island winners Ekin-Su and Davide will leave the villa £50,000 richer. ITV Plc

The finale of ITV’s Love Island was watched by millions of fans, many commenting live on social media as Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti were awarded the £50,000 prize. The four couples who made the final will now leave the Majorca villa where they’ve kissed, cried and cracked on for the past eight weeks.
