Greg and Amber were joined in the final by Longford model Maura Higgins and her partner Curtis Pritchard, Tommy Fury (boxer Tyson Fury’s half-brother) and Molly-Mae Hague, and Ovie Soko and India Reynolds
Fury and Hague had been the bookies’ favourites to win for several weeks.

According to ITV, it was the most-watched episode of the series to date and the most-watched Love Island final ever.
Greg, 24, a late entrant to the show who joined at the beginning of last month, described their win as “crazy” while Amber, 21, who entered on Day One, said she could not believe it.
