That night, presenter Maya Jama crowned Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan the winners, who took home a cash prize of £50,000.
Mimii, 24, and Josh, 29, have made Love Island history as the first black couple to win the series since the show’s reboot in 2015.
The couple were in the final with Nicole Samuel and Ciaran Davies, Matilda Draper and Sean Stone and Jessica Spencer and Ayo Odukoya.
Jessica and Ayo finished in fourth place, while Matilda and Sean took third place in the reality show competition.
Nicole and Ciaran finished second in the final, with viewers ultimately voting to crown Mimii and Josh the winners.
After the news broke, many X viewers shared their thoughts on the historic win, saying: ‘I’ve been celebrating Mimii and Josh’s win all weekend’; Josh and Mimii are the first black couple to ever win Love Island UK;
‘The first black couple to ever win Love Island UK in history, oh my god, so happy for Mimii and Josh’; ‘Mimii and Josh are making history, no black couple has ever finished higher than third in the final, we think it’s amazing’;
‘This feels so surreal… so out of the ordinary. But yeaaah, the first black couple to win the UK’; ‘No way. A black couple has finally won Love Island UK. Mimii and Josh deserve it!!’
Meanwhile, Arabella (centre), who also returned for All Stars, stunned in a slinky gold mini dress with wrap detailing (pictured with fellow islanders L-R Tanya Manhenga and Olivia Hawkins)

Their victory comes just a week after black couple Serena Page and Kordell Beckham won the American version of Love Island.
Mental health nurse Mimii burst into tears and model Josh told Maya: ‘Thank you everyone, we love you!’
Josh admitted he only had eyes for Mimii since he entered the villa, telling Maya: ‘I told her when I met her, she surprised me, everything I expected her to be, she was and more. So I didn’t have to make any other connections.’
Before being announced as winners, the two remaining couples received sweet video messages from home.
Mimii has been linked to Josh since he pops up like a bombshell later in the series, after she was previously in a relationship with Ayo.
Mimii was paired with Ayo during the Casa Amor controversy and remained loyal to him when the boys and girls were split into separate villas.
However, Ayo’s head turned after Jessica’s arrival and he eventually decided to marry her again, while Mimii returned from Casa alone.
While many fans were convinced that Mimii and Ayo would rekindle their romance, it was not to be – despite Mimii’s ‘secret mission’ to lure Ayo to the terrace.
Mimii and Ayo decided to put their short romance behind them and pursue their new relationship with Josh and Jessica.
Nicole and Ciaran were the favourites to win the show according to bookmakers at odds of 2/5, with a chance of over 71 percent of them winning the £50,000 prize.
During the final episode of the series, four final couples stood in the garden to declare their love to each other on their last evening in the villa.

During her speech, Mimii opened up to Josh, saying, “You are thoughtful, kind, gentle, and loving. Thank you for showing me the qualities that I found unrealistic in this day and age.”
After they embrace, it’s Josh’s turn to tell Mimii how he feels. Josh says, “You told me no one has ever written you a poem before, and I promised you I would. I hope you like it.”
As Mimii wiped away her tears, fans also became emotional as they saw their heartwarming exchange.
They said: ‘I think Mimii and Josh are the only ones who are real, to be honest’; ‘I haven’t watched a second of Love Island this season but I’m watching it to make sure Mimii and Josh get this money’;
‘Was I the only one who cried during Josh’s speech? Words of affirmation are one of Mimii’s love languages ​​and he gets it, Mimii’s speech also spoke life into Josh, they are adorable’;
“Okay, I take it back after that poem. Mimii and Josh win”; “I’m obsessed with Mimii and Josh, wow.”
