Love Island viewers were stunned after Jess Harding and Sammy Root were announced as the winners of the 2023 series last month.
The couple posted Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki for the £50,000 prize, with Whitney and Lochan being declared favorites to the end.
Both Jess and Sammy seemed shocked and hugged tightly after host Maya Jama announced they had won.
Tyrique Hyde and Ella Thomas were third and Molly Marsh and Zachariah Noble were fourth.
After the winners were announced, many viewers took to Twitter to express their shock at the result.
One person wrote: ‘WHAT!!! This show is spoofed because there’s no way Sammy and Jess actually won against Whitney and Lochan. What kind of bad joke is this!!!’
Someone else commented: ‘How did they win???? Sammy said Jess wasn’t attractive. They have been voted by the public several times as the bottom 3, least favorite and compatible couple. Whitney and Lochan have been voted THE FAVORITE COUPLE by the public. And they’ve never been to the bottom.’
Another person joked, “Maya, I think that was a slip of the tongue?” What are Jess and Sammy?”

Someone else wrote, “Jess and Sammy didn’t even have the air of a ‘real relationship.'”
