Love Island 2022 final LIVE: Ekin-Su and Davide crowned as the season 8 winners
All the action from the Love Island 2022 final as it happens!
ITV
Published: Monday, 1 August 2022 at 7:02 pm
Live coverage of this event has now concluded
After a very, busy eight weeks in the Love Island villa, it was time for the Love Island 2022 final to take place.
Tonight (Monday, 1st August) one of the remaining couples in the Love Island 2022 line-up was crowned this year's champions, as they joined the Love Island winners hall of fame, taking over from Millie Court and Liam Reardon as the reigning champs.
It was up to viewers to decide who they wantd to win this year, with fans getting a chance to vote for their favourite couple twice. The first vote closes at 8:45pm ahead of the final episode. The vote opened again during the show.
These votes wiere added together, after which Laura Whitmore revealed who come in fourth, third, second and first place.
For the first time in the show's history, Laura revealed that the prize money would be split this year as the usual twist was scrapped for 2022, meaning there'd be no chance of one of the islanders doing a runner with the £50,000 cash prize - not that that's ever happened on the show before, but this is Love Island and anything can happen!

Season eight began with a brand new Love Island twist, which saw the public picking the starting couples, and set the show off with a bang.
The 2022 series continued to get even better as Gemma's ex Jacques O'Neill was brought into the villa to shake things up. And it didn't stop there, with one of the most explosive Casa Amor recouplings the series has ever seen, as six new couples were formed on the night. This made for a very packed villa, which was eventually tidied up with a few shock dumpings and public votes. But that didn't stop the show chucking in new(ish) bombshells, with Adam Collard returning for 2022.
His comeback made us think of all the Love Island contestants they should have brought back for season 8, including the one an only Irish bombshell, Maura Higgins!
Sadly, Jacques O'Neill quit Love Island following Casa Amor drama. Nevertheless, the show went on, with the couples getting stronger and stronger as the series progressed.
From arguing across the villa to a cute wine making date, Ekin-Su and Davide gave us some of their best moments this year.
And who can forget the infamous movie night, which saw Dami's three-way kiss splashed across the screen in 4K, and Andrew and Coco's antics revisited.
Sunday night's show saw Adam Collard and Paige Thorne become the latest couple to leave Love Island, after receiving the fewest votes from the public.
That meant this year's finalists were: Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti, Gemma Owen and Luca Bish, Andrew Le Page and Tasha Ghouri, and Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope.
But only one couple could emerge victorious, with 76 per cent of fans predictig that Davide and Ekin-Su would win Love Island.
So, who won Love Island 2022? And who came in second, third and fourth place?
With the Love Island final now complete, here's our full recap of all the events - from the Love Island 2022 Summer Ball, to the moment this year's winners were revealed.
It was one heck of a night!

#Damiyah
And Indiyah said it was Dami who had a way with words. As she reads out her declaration, telling him how much she loves him, Dami becomes very teary-eyed.
He returns the favour by revealing how much he loves her.
As he reveals he wants to spend the "Summer, Autumn and Winter with her" there's a slight pause upon hearing Summer's name, but he redeems himself. So cute!

It's time for the speeches
Grab the tissues because it's time for the speeches and Gemma is up first.
She tells Luca how much she's enjoyed their time together, admitting that he's brought out a "softer" side to her.
Luca's up next, and it's another beautiful speech as he tells the dressage rider that he hopes that she will become more than his best friend outside of the villa.
No you're cyring!

Dressed to kill
The Love Island boys are dressed in their suit and bow ties, and they're waiting for the girls to return.
First to arrive is Tasha who looks stunning a black number.
"You look unreal," Andrew says as the pair share a kiss.
Indiyah is next in a fish tail white gown that is giving everything that it needs to give.
Then walks in Gemma in a black split thigh dress, and she can't stop smiling as she lays eyes on Luca.
Last but not least is Ekin-Su in a gorgeous satin gown.
"You look beautiful," Davide says before Andrew pops open a bottle of champagne.

Love Island Reality Check
Ahead of the Love Island final, we spoke to former finalist Megan Barton-Hanson for our Love Island Reality Check video series, and she didn't hold back when it came to this year's islanders.
"I just feel like, you know how Paige was with Jacques and then he left and now she's completely different with Adam? And like the way Ekin-Su is with Davide. That's somewhere you can tell these girls are properly into these men. I just think that with her, she's a bit cold with him. I just feel sorry for him because when he gets out, it's all going to be downhill from there – bless him."
