Love Island: All Stars fans think they’ve figured out a reason behind last night’s final results, and it has nothing to do with popularity or public votes. The final of the ITV show saw Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman secure the win, in a result that seemed to shock some viewers. Grace and Luca came second, Ekin-Su and Curtis in third, Catherine and Omar in fourth, and Elma and Sammy in fifth. Casey’s win comes after he’s entered Casa Amor a jaw-dropping three years on the trot, first doing the original version in 2023 before coming back for all stars in both 2024 and this year.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, fans joked that the show was “rigged” by producers in the hopes that by giving Casey a win he’d stop returning to the villa every year. “Love Island had to crown Casey the winner - they didn't want him back in the Summer,” one person said, with another adding: “They handed Casey the win so he would stop coming back every January.”. “Maybe we don’t have to see Casey back on our screens ever again .. and for the love of god no love island games,” said a third, as a fourth joked: “I just know the airport staff are sick of seeing him.”.
“They dead*** just don’t want Casey back that’s why they rigged the votes,” one person complained of Casey’s win, with another agreeing: “They probably let Casey win in the hopes he doesn’t want to come back.”. Many fans were disappointed by the final as a whole, complaining that it took too long with lots of waiting around and not enough drama. Do you think the right couple won Love Island All Stars?

"Can we just announce the winner so I can go to bed please. It’s been on for 50 mins and we’ve only got to 5th place!!!" one viewer wrote on X. Some people even said they were switching their TVs off out of boredom, and vowed not to watch the show again. Whether or not Casey returns to the villa for the fourth time, his first win has finally secured him the cash pot. During the first season of All Stars in 2024, a source told The Sun that the returnees make a lot more from the show the second time around. Reportedly, the source stated each All Star was being paid £2,000 a week to return to the villa - instead of £1000 for the original version - totalling up to £10,000 for the five weeks the series runs for. With the additional prize of £50,000 if they win the series, each individual of the final couple will supposedly walk away with £35,000 each, instead of the expected £25,000.
