Love Island’s winter 2023 series has so far given us drama left right and centre, with the arrival of bombshell Claudia Fogarty, plus break-ups, a row over the washing up and, of course, tension and tears.

Especially from Lana Jenkins over Ron Hall’s swivelling head. Though he’s now promising to be good. Hmmm….

For many of us, the reality show is the only thing getting us through the long winter nights and we wish it could go on forever.

Alas, the series will have to end eventually as two new Love Island champions are crowned.

But when exactly could that be?

Let’s find out.

ITV bosses are yet to officially confirm the date.

But word is that there are just a few weeks left before the finale – when we will see who bags the £50,000 prize money. Could it be Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga? Or maybe farmer Will Young and Jessie Wynter?

Both couples have gone the whole way in The Hideaway.

Or could the upcoming Casa Amor – when the islanders are split and new bombshells thrown in – really shake things up?

Maybe new couple Casey O’Gorman and Claudia Fogarty are the real deal? So when exactly could we find out?

Sources say that the finale date for the ITV2 series will be at the beginning of March.

An insider told The Sun: ‘There was speculation that the current series might only run for six weeks as that was the format for the first Winter Love Island outing in 2020.

‘By the same token, there was talk last year that the summer series could be extended as ratings were so impressive thanks to the likes of Ekin-Su and Davide.’

But the insider said that bosses intend to stay with the usual eight-week schedule, so winners will reportedly be crowned on Monday March 13.

However, don’t fret, as after the winter series has finished, it won’t be long before the summer series of Love Island takes to our screens (likely at some point in June 2023).

This will be the first year that two instalments of Love Island have aired – so it will be on our screens for a whopping four months, or a third of 2023! Yay!

In 2020, the first winter series of the show was supposed to be followed by a summer series – but the latter was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

What happens in the Love Island final?

In the Love Island final, the four remaining couples pour their hearts out to each other in romantic vows.

The results of the public vote are then revealed, in reverse order, from the fourth place couple until the winning couple is revealed.

In previous series, the couple have then been given the choice to either split the £50k prize money between them or steal it for themselves (which has never happened).

But in the last series this was scrapped and winners Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Saclimente were told the prize money would be split between them.
