The 2025 season of Love Island concluded with Toni Laites and Cach Mercer crowned as winners, marking Toni as the show's first American contestant to win. The pair secured the £50,000 cash prize in what was reported as the closest final in the show's history based on voting percentages. The finale was marked by controversy, including a shock confession from islanders Tommy and Ben, who admitted to kissing the same woman, later identified as TOWIE's Dani Imbert. Dani responded sardonically to the cheating revelations. The final also featured moments of tension, such as a Love Island star reportedly snubbing a finalist during the live event and a finalist being seen crying. Runner-up Shakira Khan disclosed the reasons behind her feud with fellow contestant Meg Moore, a dispute that attracted complaints to Ofcom. Post-show developments include Love Island stars Dejon and Meg sharing plans to prove critics wrong, a contestant publicly revealing a new boyfriend three years after the villa, and a finalist being lined up for their own show after impressing ITV executives. Fans have called for certain stars to be signed for the All Stars edition following the dramatic finale.
