Love Island Bingo

Although not everybody’s cup of tea, this saucy reality show is immensely popular in the UK and regularly pulls in more than 2.5 million viewers. Each series has included its fair share of ‘OMG’ moments (see below) and no doubt the next series will be no different.

You can pretty much guarantee loads of cliches and platitudes, and highlights will no doubt include ‘top bants’ between contestants, not to mention plenty of ‘mugging off’, ‘not going to lie’ and ‘unreal’ moments.

Love Island now comes in two flavours: the main summer series and All Stars. After successful runs in early 2024 and early 2025, Love Island: All Stars returned for a third series in January 2026, with an extended six-week run in the South Africa villa. The final aired on 23 February 2026, where Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies were crowned the winners, beating Millie Court and Zac Woodworth into second place.  The 4th series has been confirmed for 2027.

Meanwhile, the main summer series has continued to lean into bigger twists and bigger personalities. Series 11 made headlines with Joey Essex’s arrival as the show’s first celebrity bombshell, while Series 12 in 2025 carried on the trend of shock exits, returning faces and twist-heavy recouplings.

Series 13 ran from 1st June 2026 on ITV2 and ITVX and ended on 27th July.

2026 Love Island: All Stars Recap

The 2026 All Stars series is now over, so the biggest update is the final result: Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies won the show, taking the £50,000 prize after six weeks of villa chaos. Millie Court and Zac Woodworth finished as runners-up, with Leanne Amaning and Scott van-der-Sluis in third, Lucinda Strafford and Sean Stone in fourth, and Whitney Adebayo and Yamen Sanders in fifth.

The series had plenty of classic All Stars mess on the way. Early public votes set the tone for a ruthless season, while later dumpings kept proving that supposedly “safe” couples were never really safe. By the final week, returning Islanders were even brought back to help decide who was least compatible, leading to Belle Hassan and Harrison Solomon being dumped just before the final.

In other words, it was exactly the kind of series this bingo card is made for: awkward chats, savage public votes, dramatic fire-pit scenes, and contestants insisting they are “closed off” about five minutes before their head turns.

• Winners: Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies
• Runners-up: Millie Court and Zac Woodworth
• Third place: Leanne Amaning and Scott van-der-Sluis
• Fourth place: Lucinda Strafford and Sean Stone
• Fifth place: Whitney Adebayo and Yamen Sanders
