Well, Islanders, another summer at the villa has now come and gone. The final night of Love Island UK Season 8 is upon us after a tumultuous two months of love, drama, and heartbreak. As fans of the hit reality show know, the contestants battle it out to couple up with one another while their popularity gets ranked by voters or viewers in real-time. New people come and go throughout the season, which gets narrowed down to four final couples during the last week.
The winning couple of Love Island, again voted on by viewers, wins a 50 thousand pound cash prize. That couple may or may not leave the villa with a solid relationship, but, hey, it's all for the plot. This season's been a little different; there's a new villa, and the contestants no longer get sponsored by fast fashion companies. While we wait for the suspense of who will win (US viewers, Hulu streaming gets delayed by about two weeks), get to know this year's Love Island UK finalists.
8 Tasha Amber Ghouri
Tasha quickly became a fan favorite as the first deaf or hard-of-hearing contestant on Love Island. She was born deaf and uses a cochlear implant in her ears to hear. She's a 23-year-old dancer and model from Thirsk, England, who recently graduated from university. She's been coupled up with Andrew Le Page since day one, although things got rocky during Casa Amor.
7 Andrew Le Page
Andrew's a real estate agent who grew up on the English Channel island of Guernsey. He's 27 and entered the Love Island villa on day one. He's been with Tasha for the entire season, besides one week during Casa Amor.
6 Gemma Owen
Gemma's appearance on Love Island garnered a lot of press since her dad is the famous soccer player Michael Owen. The 19-year-old's dad did not come to the villa during parent's day; however, he's very proud of his daughter. Gemma is a renowned horseback rider from Chester, England, who has been with Luca since week three.
5 Luca Bish
Luca's chest tattoos strangely broke the internet before the start of Love Island Season 8, with people believing they looked just like Harry Styles' tattoos. Luca is 23 and works as a fishmonger (which also had the internet talking) in Brighton, England. He was coupled with two other girls before settling down with Gemma Owen.
4 Davide Sanclimenti
Davide is another contestant who's been at the Love Island villa since day one. He's a business owner from Manchester, England. His journey to find love on the show started out a little rocky when he stole Gemma from Liam on the second day, but he eventually coupled up with Ekin-Su in week four. If he and Ekin-Su end up winning, there's a good chance they could become the next Molly-Mae and Tommy with their earnings.
3 Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu
Ekin-Su entered the villa on the third day of Love Island Season 8, causing a stir with the other contestants. She's a 27-year-old actress from Essex, England. Instagram is a huge part of the contestants' popularity on the show. Ekin-Su was the first Islander to reach the coveted 1 million followers during the show. Davide and her have a strong relationship, making them a favorite to win the series.
2 Indiyah Polack
Indiyah ended up with Dami in week three of Love Island UK Season 8, although the two parted during the drama of Casa Amor. She's a model and waitress in London, England. When the parents came to the villa right before the final, Indiyah's mom wasn't too pleased with Dami, even going as far as to call him by another contestant's name.
1 Dami Hope
Dami hails from Dublin, Ireland, where he works as a senior microbiologist. The 26-year-old came to the Love Island villa on day one, dating Amber for the first two weeks before coupling up with Indiyah. He gained the reputation of the resident flirt over the season, which caused romance rumors between him and the other contestants.
