Love Island fans pick their finalists after two couples step up their romances with sweet gestures
LOVE Island have predicted their finalists after claiming two couples are receiving winners’ edits.
It might only be the second week of the series, but two couples appear dead set on sticking together and making it all the way.
Ciaran Davies and Nicole Samuel and Ayo Odukoya and Mimii Ngulube are the early front runners as they swerve drama and forge deep connections.
Tonight, rugby lad Ciaran and Nicole enjoyed some alone time on the terrace where they passionately kissed and cuddled like a pairing who have known each other for months.
Nicole said she was shocked by the intensity of Ciaran’s feelings to her and she couldn’t imagine being with anyone else.
It led to comparisons to previous winners Millie Court and Liam Reardon, who are happily together three years after taking the prize.
Meanwhile, Ayo and Mimii bonded on a boat ride as they went for a romantic first date.
The pair have emerged from an early love triangle unscathed after Ayo ended things with Uma Jammeh.
Tonight he apologised for the drama as the pair discussed family and life on the outside world.
Reflecting on the date back in the villa, Mimii told the girls: “We’re both really happy with how things are going at the moment. I see it working on the outside.”
Ayo gushed to the boys: “Hands down best first date I’ve been on.”
Fans predict a long run for both pairings, with one writing on X: “ayo and mimii talking about church omg idc they’re my winners.”
Another said: “Ciaran is adorable, him and Nicole are my winners, so cute that he said he has feelings and he couldn’t do this journey with anyone else.”
A third posted: “Don’t care for any love…all I know is that Mimii must be in that final #loveIsland top 2 if possible.”
Uma initially stole Ayo from Mimii during her first recoupling, but Mimii took him back in the next recoupling ceremony.
During an Aftersun interview on Sunday, Ayo confirmed that the love triangle was now over and his situation with Uma has ended.
When asked by host Maya Jama: “Are feelings for that wrapped up in a box now?”
He responded: “I wouldn’t say wrapped up, I guess it’s just dead now, in the sense of she’s left the situation.
“I wanted to know her a bit more, but I guess that’s just a dead line for now.”
