Despite being together for the least amount of time compared to their co-stars, the winning couple were backed by bookies - with offering 1/3 odds they'd win.
"Literally she blew me away straight away," Kai told Maya of his first impressions of Sanam.
"For me, it was always Kai. I always said he was my number one," Sanam added, before dropping the L-bomb without realising it.
Sanam covered her mouth in shock after letting slip that she "fell in love" with Kai in the villa.
Tom and Samie finished third, with Tom calling it the "best experience of my life" and Samie summing it up as "unreal."
Tanya and Shaq finished in fourth place and were the first to be interviewed by Maya.
Shaq said the pair had "lots of plans" for the future, while Tanya agreed with Maya that they had "the rest of their lives".
But it was the 24-year-old winners who won over fans with their drama-free romance after falling for each other in Casa Amor.
