# Remember the feeling Of my fingertips on your skin
# And the way that our kisses taste Sweeter after drinking
# Don't forget my love
# Love, love, love, Love, love, love
# Don't forget my love. #
Good evening, Australia.
More than a month ago, we started an important experiment,
an experiment to find out whether really, really,
really, really hot people could find love too.
We made it tough for them,
banishing them into a luxurious Spanish villa,
away from their regular gyms, hairdressers, injectable nurses,
and unable to post to their legions of Instagram followers.
Today, I am delighted to report that six young Aussie battlers
have survived these gruelling conditions
and are ready to prove that really, really,
really, really hot people can indeed find love.
Tonight, you will decide your winners.
Tonight, you'll decide who wins $50,000.
Tonight, you are very welcome
to the Love Island Australia Grand Finale.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
OK. We have a huge night ahead.
Who wants to meet our final three couples?
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Say hello to Claudia and Austen.

Now, pay attention, Australia,
because one of these amazing couples
will win $50,000 tonight and it's up to you.
Voting is open at 9now.com.au/loveisland
And you have just over 30 minutes left to vote.
Claudia and Austen,
did you ever think you'd get this far?
No. God, no.
No way. No chance.
But, Claudia, you were voted out the first night...
I know, I thought I was a goner. Yeah.
I did not think I was gonna be here.
Are you kidding me? Yeah. Now, you're in the final.
I know. I still don't believe it.
Yeah. I think, it's a dream.
What would you say your highest point in the villa has been?
I think, my best point in the villa,
uh, was saying, was doing the bubble bath with Claudia.
Ah, yeah. And telling her that I loved her.
And what was your worst?
Probably my ex walking in.
Yeah, that's pretty weird.
Yeah, I did not expect that.
Yeah. Yeah.
I would expect my mum to come in before him.
Yeah. Yeah. That was fun.
(LAUGHS)
Madeline and Callum,
what would you say your most amazing moment was?
Um, for me it's pretty easy.
I think I always did most of my journey
in here to find somebody
and Mads was the last bombshell to come into villa.
I walked out to the garden bed,
you know, and she was just lying on the lounge here,
so I was like, yeah, definitely a highlight for me.
Phoebe and Mitchell,
at what point did you stop and think,
"Hang on a minute, we could actually win this thing?"
Oh, god. I haven't thought that yet.
(LAUGHS) You haven't?
Nah, maybe today.
Yeah. Maybe today.
Yeah. Yeah, it's been pretty crazy.
And what's been your favourite moment in here?
My favourite moment was probably
when Mitch asked me to be his girlfriend.
Yeah.
I feel like I didn't expect it at all,
like Callum was a great distraction.
(LAUGHS)
And walking down the stairs and, yeah,
having everyone in the villa involved
as well was like a...like made me so happy.
And what's the worst bit?
Any bad bits?
I'm gonna say the...the nook. The nook.
(LAUGHTER) Oh, yeah.
What about the nook?
Truth or dare game there. Oh, yes, of course.
Yeah, that was probably a low point for me.
That wasn't great, was it? Yes.
It didn't look good, Mitch, didn't look good.
No, I know. I know. I know that now.
(LAUGHS)
Well, last night ended with Jessica and Al
being dumped from the villa
and they clearly have not got over it yet.
Robbed. Robbed. Robbed.
(LAUGHS)
Stitched up.
Let's see what went down, pardon the pun,
after Jess and Al left the villa.
We really love each other.
(LAUGHS)
You're starting to say 'I love you' a lot more now.
I know it's gross. Tell me to stop.
I don't say like, I don't say it... No, I love it.
I love when you say it.
I get embarrassed.
It makes me...it makes me feel so jittery.
I'm like, "You love me!"
(LAUGHS) Really?
I love it when you say it.
('FEEL THE LOVE' BY RUPERT POPE PLAYS)
It has been the craziest, most exciting,
most stressful ride in here and I would never change any of it.
# Breathe in
# Let go
# Of all the... #
I did not think like walking through these doors that
we would be sitting here in the...in the top three and that,
like we just clicked straight away.
We just like...
It just goes to show that it doesn't matter at times,
and in fact it doesn't matter...
No, it doesn't matter.
Like anything can happen. No. No.
I haven't got the best more vocabulary,
so I can't really explain how I'm feeling,
but yeah, just easiest way to put it is,
yeah, M-E-G-A, mega.
You're so happy.
# I feel the love
# I feel the love... #
Neither can I, got my cheeks a silent hurt.
(LAUGHS)
I can't believe
that I transformed a fuckboy into a simp.
Ah!
You did do that.
I did do that. You did do that.
I honestly, genuinely, from the bottom of my heart
believe that like Mitch is the one and then,
like, it's just meant to be, like, he is my life now,
like, this is the story that was supposed to happen.
We started our journey on day one and now,
we get to finish our journey on the last day.
I know.
How did I get this lucky?
I honestly, I...I don't know.

OK. Jordan, let's start with you.
Big question first.
Do you regret not leaving with Phoebe H?
No, not at all. Oh!
(LAUGHTER)
No, honestly, um, getting to see Phoebe and Mitch
become boyfriend and girlfriend...
Aw! ..was really amazing.
And, um, obviously, Austen and Claudia
saying they love you getting to share that moment
from day one, watching them couple up and stuff like that,
um, yeah, I don't regret it, but yeah...
Yeah.
And tell us, Jordan, who would you like to win tonight?
Um, I've been backing Phoebe and Mitch from day one.
Whoo-hoo!
Obviously, watching them closely grow as a couple, so yeah,
I'm backing them too.
Yep. Love you, Jordy.
Thanks, Jordy.
Stella and Hugh,
I'm gonna ask what everyone's thinking.
Have you hooked up since you've left?
(LAUGHS) I'm gonna let you answer that one.
Yes. Oh, yes.
Oh!
It must be the Spanish weather.
How do you feel about that?
I'm all for it. I love that. Alright.
And who would you like to win tonight?
Mads and Callum, let's go!
(IMITATES HOWLING)
Stella, who would you like to win tonight?
My final answer, which...
yep, I say rooting for all of them, is Claudia and Austen.
Love you, Stella. Love you, Stella.

Speaking of winners,
don't forget to have your say Australia.

Now, this morning,
our islanders woke up to their final day in the villa
and love was in the air at first light.

on all the things in view and it was all yellow,

Thanks, Owen.
You're welcome, Chris Martin.
Anyway, it's the islanders' final morning in the villa
and the energy is off the charts.
# Just look at us... #
Look at that energy, off the charts!
The lower end of the charts.
How are we feeling?
Oh, my god!
Last day.
It's our last ever day in the Love Island villa!
Whoo! Whoo!
It was such a weird feeling waking up in the bedroom
for the last time.
I feel like we've become so comfortable
and used to waking up with our best friends
in there and to think that we're gonna be going home soon,
and that's now gonna happen, it's...it's weird.
That's right. Our last cuddle.
Morning cuddles.
One big happy family.
Happy family. Whoo!
Fairytale ending.
It is a fairytale ending for me.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, what the hell?
Oh, my gosh.

This might be like my favourite breakfast.
Nice. (GROANS)
What's wrong with you?
What are you planning to do?
# The way that you take my breath
# The way that I'm, Oh, like I gotta be dreaming... #
Yeah, take in the scenery for the last time.
I'm this way. I'm this way.
# I love the way that you are
# Oh, oh... #
Like the first time I saw you,
like I had this like little like...like
feeling inside that was like,
it was like warming and like it was like soothing.
It was just like you made me happy.
As the days have gone on, like,
I have just come to realise that that feeling doesn't go away.
Like, when I see you upstairs in the kitchen,
like, it's still there.
Like, when I see you down here, it's still there.
I'm still like a little kid.
Do you know what I mean? I feel like a little kid.
It's a very good feeling.
That's so nice.
That feeling is so good and I've come out here with Mads now so,
like, yeah, it's...I'm...I'm over the moon.
I'm so happy. I'm so happy.
I couldn't have asked for anything better.
I couldn't change anything.
I... Everything was perfect.
And soppy.
(LAUGHS) Well, I'm (INDISTINCT).

in the place where it all began.
The place where a seed was planted
that would grow into something real...estate agent.
I'm gonna miss all the places like that we did stuff.
First chat.
Ultimatum.
First kiss. First kiss.
Right here. Yeah.
And then, the big one.
Yeah, the big one.
Loved every minute of it.
We can't even describe
how happy we are to be here together.
No. It's actually unreal.
This is a lot to say.
A lot? (CHUCKLES) But...
What?
Like, every time I look at you,
like I'm not just thinking,
oh, like a few months down the track,
I'm literally thinking like life.
Yeah, certainly.
I'm like thinking like, oh, when we get married,
when we have kids, like,
I'm thinking like the full shebang, shebang.
Hopefully, this is my first and last girlfriend.
Oh, yay!
I definitely see a long-term future with Mitch and I wouldn't want it
with anyone else.
I wanna say cheers for being top three,
for making beautiful memories
and to being with people that we love in life.
(LAUGHTER)
To our last day in the villa.
(CHEERS)
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Claudia and Austen,
what will you miss most about the villa
and I don't mean the people, I mean the actual villa?
I'm gonna miss I think just having breakfast.
Oh, OK. Having breakfast with everyone.
You don't have that at home?
No, but like it was like a family. Oh, OK.
It was like when we all like...all like scrambling
to find like everything that we wanted to eat, I just...
I don't know, it was nice.
Callum and Maddy, what about you?
What will you miss most?
For me, it'd have to be my naked showers
and beneath the Spanish sunset every night.
Oh, yeah. Since I've come in and...
Yeah, I love that. Liberating.
Yeah. Free.
(LAUGHS) Free.
Connected to Earth, even though it's on Astroturf.
Phoebe and Mitch, what will you miss most?
I'm gonna miss feeling like
I'm having a big slumber party every night.
Sharing a room with heaps of people,
I thought it would be a bit weird, but it was so much fun.
OK.
We have reached my favourite part of every Love Island finale,
the declarations of love.
Earlier today, our final three couples
stared into each other's eyes and said some lovely things.
So, please can I have my tissues?
Oh, thank you.
My popcorn.
And my wine.
Oh, thanks.
OK. I'm ready. Roll it.
# Billion clouds in billion skies
# Heard about in a lullaby... #
Austen, before I met you,
I hoped and dreamed about finding someone just like you.
But I need to realise that my dream has actually come true.
You, Austen, have taught me so much,
first and foremost, how I can actually trust men.
(CHUCKLES)
You have amazing morals, heart of pure gold,
and of course, you've got the face of like a Greek god, so...
(CHUCKLES)
I'm so thankful for you and I can't wait for you
to be a part of my family.
# Northern lights Will guide you there... #
I can't wait for you to meet them and love them.
And for my Nona to cook you lasagne.
This journey has been more than a dream come true.
# Billion clouds in billion skies... #
Austen, I love you.
And I know how much you love hearing me say it, so...
I love you.
# Northern lights Will guide you there. #
Whoof! I'm crying.
(SIGHS)
To Claudia, sharing this experience with you,
it feels like we've opened the first page
to our very own story.
I only ever heard about the spark in movies
and I experienced it for the first time
when we shared our first kiss.
('WITH ME' BY ALEXANDRA ARMSTRONG AND THOMAS ROBSON PLAYS)

# When I'm calling... #
That spark has grown every single day
and in the words of Harry Styles,
I knew that we'll be Alright.

This journey has been my love story.
And I can't wait for our happy ending.
I love you, Claudia, so much. # I love you...
# Will you hold me?
# Can you feel me?

# Oh!
That was so nice.
# I love you

Oh, be still my beating heart.
Claudia and Austen, how was that for you?
It was so emotional.
I know. It was so sweet.
I loved it. I loved every second of it.
No, it was very emotional.
Yeah, Claudia's words, my god, she can write.
Well, I thought it was amazing, guys.
Well done.

('STAY WITH ME TONIGHT' BY BRUCE MAGINNIS PLAYS)
# Take your time
# With me... #
Looking back to the first day
we met in the villa, I felt instantly drawn to you.
I don't know whether it was the sexy Welsh accent,
banging rig or your outrageous personality,
but you made me feel comfortable and that is straight away.
I might stop there before your head gets too big.
(LAUGHS)
Whilst you drive me and everyone up the wall
and always fire me over our good side,
you have been by far the highlight of this journey.
And although our journey is early on,
I'm so excited to see where it leads.
Aw. (CHUCKLES)
That's so sweet.
# With me
# Tonight... #
I came in here in the hope of finding love,
although, I knew that would be ambitious
for someone like myself
who finds it difficult to commit and form solid connections.
# Breath taking breath... #
Then, came that morning
when I walked out into the garden like any other morning
and saw an absolute banger of a bird on the sun lounger.
# I feel your hand... #
You made me smile, laugh, and feel nervous,
which is something a girl has never been able to do before.
I wish I could remember everything we spoke about,
but to tell you the truth,
I was too busy looking at your juicy lips...
(LAUGHS)
..thinking about how much
I just wanted to nag on with you.
(LAUGHTER)
As we continue to get to know each other,
I can honestly say,
there's not one thing I would change about you.
And I truly believe that I finally found the missing piece
to complete my Love Island journey.
Aw, that's so good.
# Our love is our life From winter to spring
# Where nothing else matters, we got everything. #
(SOFT MUSIC)
# You're the only girl Got a hold on me... #
Before I started my Love Island journey,
I had little faith in love but then you came along.
From the moment I laid eyes on you in your red shorts,
I knew I wanted you.
From our first chat-chat in the tepee,
I knew I could see myself being with you.
And from the way that you put in so much effort
to change your old habits and my trust,
and make me feel so appreciated and valued,
I knew that I was so deeply in love with you.
I've learned that I do deserve happiness and love,
and that I should never settle (VOICE BREAKS)
because if the right man for you comes along,
he will do everything in his power
to show you what true love feels like.
Mitch, I owe all of this to you.
Not only have you been my whole entire Love Island journey,
you are now my whole future.
I love you so incredibly much, Michi boy, forever.
That's beautiful.
Oh, that's amazing.
('FALLING LIKE THE STARS' BY JAMES ARTHUR PLAYS)
# Know that we're falling So fast... #
Opening the gates to the tunnel love on day one,
my heart was beating out my chest.
My nerves were at a all-time high.
That was until I saw you.
During the first couple of weeks of this experience,
there was two potential paths I was torn between.
One path included exploring all villa connections possible,
and the other was focusing all my energy on you.
I remember when it all clicked,
the moment I realised I wanted to take the path
where I'd build something special purely with you.
The man who walked through those doors
is not the same man who'll be walking out.
And I owe it all to you.
I really have fallen in love with you, Pheebs.
And I cannot wait for our love to continue on the outside.
# I need you to know that we're... #
I love you.
# Falling so fast
# We're falling like the stars
# Falling in love. #
You guys are so bloody cute.
(CHUCKLES)
Thank you. Thanks.
I'm here with Tina and Mitch and Jessica and Al.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
OK, Tina and Mitch, no stranger to finales.
It's weird being on the other side.
Yeah.
And I think I prefer being out there, if I'm honest.
Well, on behalf of all of Australia,
I wanna know what's happened in the last few days
since you've left the villa.
How's it going? (LAUGHS)
Is it good?
(LAUGHTER)
Are you together? Are you not?
Do you regret anything? How's it going?
I don't regret anything. Yeah.
I think, everything kind of played out how it was meant to be
in the villa and, yeah, we're just kind of,
you know, taking things at a slower pace now that we're out
of the villa and you know, the joys of modern dating is a bit confusing.
Yeah.
But we're seeing each other and seeing how it goes.
So, that's where it's at. Yeah.
I feel like I need the truth mic out here.
(LAUGHTER)
Get the real tea.
I'm sick of that thing. (LAUGHS)
OK. I'll let you off the hook.
Who would you like to win? Alright.
Well, I'm gonna have to say Austen and Claudia.
Aw...
Hearing Austen cry today reminds me of myself last year.
Yeah.
So, you know, bit soppy, we love that.
Thanks, Mitch. Thanks, Mitch.
Tina, what about you?
I find it really hard, like I'm...I'm so close
between like Pheebs and Mitch, and Claudia and Austen,
but seeing Austen cry
over how much he loves Claudia, like I can't unsee that.
It was so cute.
So, I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to say Austen and Claudia
'cause that man broke down.
(LAUGHS) Aw! Thanks, Tina.
Thank you.
You're a sucker for tears, clearly.
(LAUGHTER) Real men cry.
That's right. Real men cry. OK.
Jessica and Al, I'm gonna get straight into the good stuff.
Did you spend the night together last night?
Well, let's just say that my one-eyed snake
didn't get much sleep last night.
(LAUGHTER)
Do you reckon if we could keep that in?
They said yes, technically it's an Australian animal.
Oh, Jess, how are you feeling?
Yeah. You had a good night?
I definitely had a good night, yeah.
Jessica, who would you like to win Love Island?
I'm...I'm gonna have to say Claudia and Austen.
I just love watching them both and how happy they make each other.
And Al?
Uh, I've gotta say probably Claudia and Austen as well.
Really? Um...
Oh, my god. That's so sweet!
They got...they got the best hand in the villa.
(LAUGHTER)
Tina and Mitch, and Jessica and Al, everyone!
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
OK.
Australia, this is your last chance to vote for the winners.
The voting closes really, really soon.
Don't go anywhere.
There's plenty more of love coming after the break.

of Mallorca, where tonight,
we will crown the winners of Love Island Australia.

Now, Claudia and Austen,
what a rollercoaster of a ride of emotions you've had here.
Yeah.
We've definitely learnt a lot about each other.
Yeah.
But I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Let's have a look at your most memorable moments.
Oh, my god. OK.
(LAUGHS) It's gonna be so weird.
Me and Claudia have had
an absolutely incredible journey here.
How are we? Oh, my god. OK.
I started with Layla.
And I started with Jordan.
We shared a kiss in a challenge
that has set up fireworks with both of us.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Yo!
That's hot.
Do you feel anything there?
Yeah. Wait, did you?
I did.
It was a freaking good kiss.
You felt like there more in the kiss with Claudia?
With Claudia. I do.
Well, I'm not gonna lie and say there's no connection
with Austen 'cause there is.
Yeah.
The boy I want to couple up with is...
Austen.
I'm like nervous.
No, you don't need to be nervous.
Yeah, but you could wake up tomorrow
and be like maybe not.
# Open up your heart To the magic, magic... #
Yeah, you're so mushy.
What? Sorry. Yeah. It's cute.
We were like on a high and then...
Very quickly on the low.
I accidentally said Layla instead of Claudia.
(GASPS) What?
He's pissed me the fuck off, man.
Yeah, I get it.
Yeah, that trusting like really fucking got to me.
I just don't trust boys.
But I'm not gonna be with someone that can't trust me.
Honestly, you're like the first guy that's pulled me up on it.
Then Jason came in.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, that's my ex.
He's from Adelaide. That's my ex.
What? What?
If that's my ex, I swear to god...
And caused some ruckus.
Jason, I'm really good with Austen.
It's not real.
And it was a test for me to trust Claudia.
This boy has come from Australia to Spain.
For you, yeah. For me.
But for me that just proves to me how much I'm into you.

# World is turning
# But I'm standing still
# Alone with the sky... #
My expectations on going on Love Island,
I did not think I'd fall in love.
People say when you're in love you will know.
I never understood that until now.
Claudia, I love you.
(LAUGHS)
I'm not crying.
(LAUGHS)
I love you.
I love you too.
# We can light up the sky... #
I'm telling you I think I'm in a dream.
Like, I think this is all a dream and then wake up.
# Light up the sky
# We can light up the sky
# With stars in our eyes... #
I've never been afraid to lose someone.
Love you. I love you too.
# And we can burn so brightly. #
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
(INDISTINCT)
That's so cute.
Cool, I love that, I love that.
So, what did you think watching that back?
Oh, my god. Yeah.
That was so surreal.
It's sweet.
So weird and I loved it.
Yeah. Oh, my god. That's crazy.
Austen, how did you cope with the whole Jason thing?
Um, yeah, it was honestly a little bit weird at first.
Yeah.
But like from day dot, Claudia had said,
"Listen, I'm 100% you," and you know,
"we talked about trust in the relationship and that's...
"was testing my trust with Claudia, so I was like, "Listen,
"if you've said you're 100% me, I want to trust you."
I think, it worked out good...
Yeah. ..worked out well in the end.
I mean clearly.
I mean you're very trusting.
Claudia, do you trust him now?
I do. I do.
Well, guys, I loved watching that.
Well done.
Thank you. Thank you.
Madeline and Callum...
(LAUGHS)
How are you guys feeling?
Nervous after seeing that.
(LAUGHTER)
It's your turn in the hot seat.
Well, let's take a look at your Love Island highlights.
Coming to love Island,
my expectations of finding love were very low.
You're just giving like fuckboy aura.
I'm excited.
(GIGGLES) Ah!
What's wrong with you?
I thought I'd come in here, play around a little bit.
Have a bit of fun.
I've never actually done this, but I think you'd ripped the ass off.
(LAUGHS)
I had a little bit of a connection with Layla and then obviously,
all the other girls were coming through and I was coupling up with,
like, I didn't really have any sparks or anything there.
I'm gonna miss you.
I was starting to lose a little bit hope.
# This is love... #
Having Mads come in, Turned everything on its head.
# This is love
# Ooh, yeah... #
Hi.
Hello! Good morning.
Oh, my god. She is banging.
There's bombs and bombshells, but she's nuke.
I'm Madeline. How are you?
Good. Good. What's your name?
Callum. Oh, my god, lovely to meet you.
Nice to meet you. How's the accent?
As soon as he opened his mouth I was like, accent, bod, banter.
Watch your hands, boy.
Whoa, my hands have gotta go there,
I'm sorry, but my hands have gotta touch your ass.
OK, I'm gonna roll back. Don't fart on me.
(LAUGHS) Come on.
(LAUGHS) No!
That's one kiss, that's two kiss.
Me and Callum, sort of, hit it off straight away
and he ticked so many of my boxes.
# You gotta show me, Show me love... #
I've never seen Callum and you smile so much.
# Show me love... #
We laugh 24/7.
We have such similar personalities and I'm very excited to see
where it goes.
So, the boy I would like to couple up with is Callum.
# Show me love
# Show me... #
Good things come to those who wait
and I waited my whole pretty much journey
in here for this one to come through.
Better late than never, hey?
Yeah, that's right.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
How do you feel about that, guys?
Oh, mixed emotions.
Yeah.
I feel like there was a few cringe moments in there.
Yeah, exactly, A few cringe moments in there,
but actually pretty cute to be fair.
I don't think I had a bit of a romantic side,
but I think I do now looking back.
(LAUGHS)
You are cute, Callum.
(LAUGHTER)
You guys have crammed
everything into such a short amount of time.
Mads has come in super late,
but so far, it's been nothing but good, like everything...
Yeah, I feel like our connection
definitely grew very, very quickly.
Yeah.
Yeah, you were patient and it was worth the wait.
Yeah.
So, Callum, I've got a question for you.
When you switch your phone on tomorrow morning...
..and there's a message from Layla,
what are you gonna do?
I probably won't be able to put it into a text message.
I'd probably have to call her straight away and just explain,
yeah, what my journey's been like 'cause I think I owe that to her.
Yeah.
'Cause yeah, the way she left,
obviously was emotional, um, so yeah,
I'll have a chat with her as soon as I come out and yeah,
let her know what's happened, and...
And, Mads, how do you feel about that?
He's gotta do what he's gotta do.
Oh, that's good. Yeah.
Yeah, that's a good answer.
No hard feelings.
Well, Mitch and Phoebe,
we haven't forgotten about you.
We'll see your stuff soon.
Voting is still open, but not for long.
Go to 9now.com.au/loveisland and vote now.
Stay with us, Australia.
We are so close to announcing our new king and queen of the villa.

(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Welcome back to the Love Island Grand Finale.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
We're getting close to finding out
who you've chosen as your winners for 2022.
Phoebe and Mitchell, nervous about what we are about to watch?
(LAUGHS) I'm excited.
Yeah. Yeah.
There might be a few bad things in there, but...
(LAUGHTER)
OK. We're past that.
We're definitely past that, eh?
(LAUGHTER)
Let's have a look at your time in the villa.
I had this weird gut feeling that I would find love.
Day one, Michi boy was the first guy to walk in.
Oh, my god, he's here.
Oh, my god, he's yum. (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Straight away, I was like, yep, that one's mine.
I pretty much knew as soon as I walked in.
Is that right? Yeah, Phoebe.
Ooh!
Everyone always tells me to stay away from Kiwi boys.
We're not that bad.
I looked at Phoebe and I was like whoa.
That is literally the type
I wrote down on paper before coming in.
If I was going to fall in love anywhere...
It'd be... It'd be here.
100%. Exactly, yeah.
Glad the feelings are reciprocate...reciprocate...
Reciprocated. Reciprocated.
But at the start I was so torn between having that connection
with someone and playing the field.
(CHEERS)
If there was a re-coupling like tomorrow...
Yeah.
And if I chose you, would you be mad?
I wouldn't be angry.
(SOBS) Everyone always leaves me for someone else.
I did some dumb stuff.
(LAUGHTER)
(SQUEALS)
What the fuck?
(SOBS) I'm gonna vomit.
No, take it.
I think, you're a fucking prick. Yep.
And I'm literally will never tolerate
a guy treating me like that.
Yep.
And even though I had to make a few mistakes,
Phoebe has forgiven me.
I want you to want me as much as I want you, so...
# Give you my love... #
Did brush your teeth with her toothbrush last night?
I did, that is a big step.
In the end, I put all my pride aside
and gave him a second chance and I'm really glad that I did.
# Wanna give you my love... #
Definitely falling for you.
I know, me too. Falling hard.
Hard and fast. Hard and fast.
(LAUGHS) What is this?
"I walked into the villa not expecting to find love,
"but then, I saw you and knew it was game over."
You're making me cry.
Will you be my girlfriend?
(SCREAMS)
Yes! Yes?
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
We've been through a lot together,
but if none of that happened, we wouldn't be where we are today.
# Wanna give you my love... #
Oh, it's a Spanish class.
Te quiero. Te quiero.
It means 'I love you.'
Te quiero! Te quiero.
You love me? Of course.
(LAUGHS) Well, I love you too.
# Wanna give you my love... #
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Well, you guys have certainly packed plenty
into your timing.
Yeah. Yeah, it's been a lot.
Was it emotional watching that?
Um, yeah, it's emotional seeing
what I did to Pheebs and seeing how she reacted.
I didn't realise it was that bad, but yeah, um, it is what it is.
(CHUCKLES)
How did it feel seeing how emotional Phoebe got?
Yeah, it sucks. Yeah.
It makes me still upset with myself,
but yeah, she's changed me for the better I reckon.
I hope so. (LAUGHS)
Yeah.
It was really hard watching that back
'cause it brought up a lot of emotions,
but I thought today, you saw like my reaction in the end I was like,
"You know what, I'll give him another shot."
(LAUGHS)
I knew I wanted him from the start
and I'm glad I stuck to it because...
Watching that back, have you forgiven him for it?
Oh, 100%. Like I...
And I'm so glad, like it sounds weird
but in hindsight I feel like it made us so much stronger
and I'm kind of happy we got over that 'cause like,
yeah, now look at us.
Like, I'm honestly, like,
head over heels for this boy, so it worked out with us.
Yeah. I mean, look at you now.
Look at us now. Yeah.
Well done.
Thank you. Thank you, Soph.
OK, tough question time for all of you.
Phoebe and Mitchell, we'll start with you.
If you don't win tonight,
which of these other couples would you want to win?
Um, I mean, yeah, I love...love youse both, but yeah,
I think, at the end of the day it is Love Island
and I feel like Claudia and Austen, you guys are,
um, madly in love, so I would have to say you two.
I think, you guys deserve it. I agree.
Oh, you agree with your boyfriend?
(LAUGHTER) I do for once.
For once.
Callum and Madeline,
if you two can't win, who would you like to win?
They can only be one winner and purely because Mitch has been
with Phoebe since day one,
that's the only reason I can say that, yeah.
They stuck to each other and,
yeah, hats off to them 'cause they've been through thick and thin.
(LAUGHTER)
And I would say obviously everyone deserves to be here,
but I'd have to say Claudia and Austen.
You can definitely feel the love and,
yeah, I would say you guys.
Claudia and Austen, if you don't win Love Island,
who would you hand it to?
I would say Phoebe and Mitch.
Um, you know, like I'm proud of youse both, and...
Thanks bro.
Yeah. Thank you.
So, Callum and Maddy, you had no votes, which means...
(LAUGHTER) Still standing.
You're almost, you...you're a shoo-in.
(LAUGHS)
Well, Australia, there is some breaking news.
The voting has just closed,
which means the result is now locked and cannot be changed.
Guys, if you've got a secret girlfriend
or boyfriend back at home,
now is the time to tell us
because there is literally nothing we can do about it.
Nobody?
Nah? Nah.
You sure? OK.
That is it.
All the business is taken care
of and the only thing that remains
to do is to announce the winners.
After this short break,
it's the moment all of you
and all of these guys have been waiting for.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)

Well done guys.
Okay, guys.
Congratulations.
Thank you. How are you feeling?
I'm over the moon, I can't believe it.
Yeah. I genuinely cannot believe it.
I know. How are you feeling?
I'm lost for words, I don't even know what to say.
I'm proud of you. I don't-
OK, don't celebrate too early because Austen and Claudia,
you found a beautiful connection with each other.
But one question remains.
Were you here for love, or were you here for money?
Do you plan to split the cash?
Or would you rather walk away with the lot?
The basket of eggs, please.
Thank you, Anita.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
So we've heard a lot about all your eggs being in each other's baskets.
Now we will find out if it was actually true.
In this basket, there are two golden eggs.
Take your pick, whichever one you want.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES)
Now one of these eggs has got zero dollars written on it.
The other, $50,000.
If you pick that egg, you will face the ultimate question.
Love or money?
Okay, Austen. Let's see what you got there.
Oh. Zero dollars, Austen.
Claudia, let's see your egg.
I got $50k. $50,000.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUD)
Claudia.
That $50,000 is currently all yours.
Choose money and you leave with every cent.
Choose love, and you'll share it with Austen.
So, Claudia...
Do you choose love or do you choose money?
So, yeah, I'm definitely not taking the money.
I just want you.
Make it official, what do you choose?
(CHEERING) Love!
Love. Love.
Love wins!
(CHEERFUL MUSIC)
Well, there you go.
The eggs were really in loves baskets.
What a season this has been!
Thank you to our Islanders.
Thank you to Spain for our banging tans.
Even though mine's fake.
But most of all,
thank you to you,
for watching across Australia and across the world.
Love wins everyone!
