The latest series of Love Island 2023 came to a close on Monday, 31 July, with a new couple emerging victorious after a public vote.

The ITV2 dating show has crowned 10 winning couples since its revival in 2015, with some remembered as household TV names while others quickly faded into obscurity.

Before its runaway success, Love Island started out as a celebrity series for two runs in 2005 and 2006, but who has won since it opened up to regular singles looking for love?

All the winners and finalists of Love Island

Season 1 - 2015

Winners: Jess Hayes and Max Morley

Runners up: Hannah Elizabeth and Jon Clark

What happened next: Even die-hard Love Island fans will have to search the outer reaches of their memories to unearth details of what happened way back in series one, when contestants really were looking for love rather than a reality TV career.

Sadly, things didn't work out for Jess and Max, who split just six weeks after winning. He went on to date Charlotte Crosby for a while, but they broke up when she was caught kissing ex Gaz Beadle.

Season 2 - 2016

Winners: Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey

Runners up: Alex Bowen and Olivia Buckland

What happened next: Season two is probably the biggest success story in Love Island history.

Although winners Cara and Nathan had a brief wobble during their first pregnancy, they got back together shortly before she gave birth and are now married with two children.

They aren't the only ones: runners up Olivia and Alex are also married, and welcomed their first child last summer.

Season 3 - 2017

Winners: Amber Davies and Kem Cetinay

Runners up: Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt

What happened next: This was the year that Love Island got really big in the world of reality TV and although its relationships didn't work out, it led to stardom for many of the cast.

It wasn't long before Amber and Kem split, but she has gone on to star in various big name musicals while he has landed a huge amount of TV work, including presenting for This Morning and taking part in Dancing On Ice.

The enduring romance from season three was between Kem and best pal Chris Hughes.

Season 4 - 2018

Winners: Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham

Runners up: Laura Anderson and Paul Knops

What happened next: Danny Dyer's namesake daughter was the popular winner in 2018, but less than a year later they had split.

Dani rekindled things with her pre-Love Island ex Sammy Kimmence and they welcomed a son in 2021, but split when Kimmence was jailed for scamming two elderly men out of thousands. She recently welcomed twins with Premier League footballer Jarrod Bowen.

What happened next: The first ever winter series ended up being the only Love Island that year as the Covid pandemic hit shortly afterwards.

Runners up: Gemma Owen and Luca Bish

What happened next: Summer 2022's champions Ekin-Su and Davide are said to be the series' most popular winners yet.

Both entered as bombshells, but won the hearts of viewers as well as each other and are still together, having filmed a travel series about visiting their hometowns in Turkey and Italy.

Ekin-Su took part in Dancing On Ice 2023 but was eliminated in the third week.

While things looked dreamy for a while, the pair, unfortunately, revealed that they had separated in late June 2023. Taking to his Instagram stories, Davide explained: “Ekin-Su and I are no longer together. I am grateful for the memories and opportunities we shared together and I wish her nothing but the best.

“I would like for everybody to respect this decision during this difficult time, I will continue to support Ekin in any way possible.”

Meanwhile, runners-up Gemma and Luca also previously announced their split.
