The ninth series of Love Island UK came to an end on March 13, with one lucky couple being crowned winners of winter Love Island 2023 — but who was the winning couple? Here’s everything to know.

The winter 2023 series of Love Island UK kicked off on January 16, and fans were treated to eight weeks of romance and drama, as a group of singles entered a luxury villa with the hopes of finding love.

The series was full of countless twists and recouplings, and many contestants didn’t make it all the way to the end of the show.

However, four lucky couples found themselves in the final on March 13, with one of them crowned the winners of the season by public vote, and awarded £50,000 in prize money.
