DANI Dyer and Jack Fincham have been crowned winners of Love Island 2018 – and they’re celebrating by finally having sex.
The couple were overwhelmed as host Caroline Flack announced they had won the title and the £50,000 prize money after a nail-biting final episode.
The pair were pitched against Josh and Kaz, Megan and Wes and Laura and Paul as they competed for the top spot.
However, it was firm fan favourites Jack, 26, and Dani, 21, who pulled in the public vote and clinched victory.
During their last interview with Caroline before the result was announced, Jack shocked fans by declaring they will finally be having sex tonight.
Caroline asked if they will be finally “doing bits” and then pushed them further by asking if the big night will be tonight, and Jack said: “Yes”.
After the result was announced, fans flocked to Twitter to express their joy, with many revealing they burst into tears when they heard Jack and Dani had won.
One wrote: “Dani and Jack are the winners of Love Island, and in other news the sky is blue #LoveIsland.”
Another wrote: “Well done Dani & Jack worthy winners #loveisland.”
A third added: “Happy that Dani and Jack won #loveisland but equally as happy that Laura and Paul were in the final 2! Perfect final! @LoveIsland.”
Many are already in mourning now the series has come to an end.
There was even a message from Dani’s dad Danny, who posted a video online calling her a “winner” before the result was even announced.
He went on to post another celebrating the win from a ride at a Florida theme park, declaring he’s coming home.
The EastEnders tough guy said: “Dan, you’ve only gone and done it!
“We’re coming to see ya!”
Dani and Jack also returned to social media themselves, posting a loved-up selfie of them hugging outside the villa.
She wrote in an Instagram caption: “Thankyou Thankyou so so so much!!!!!! Can’t believe we are the winners. Means the world to us and more♥️♥️ Love you for all the support words can’t describe how we are feeling. @jack_charlesf love you so much ♥️♥️♥️ time to party!!! #loveisland2018.”
Megan, who wore an eye-popping dress, and Wes were the first couple out of the running as they came in fourth place.
The pair tried not to look disappointed as their names were read out, and afterwards Megan said coming fourth was “amazing” and they have “won already”.
Kaz and Josh came in third place followed by Laura and Paul who nabbed second.
However, many viewers weren’t happy with the ranking and declared the show was “fixed” as Laura and Paul came ahead of Josh and Kaz and Megan and Wes.
When asked about the placing, Laura said she was “so, so shocked” to be in the final two couples.
Caroline later warned the pair not to rush their romance days after her own whirlwind romance with Andrew Brady failed.
The special 90-minute episode was packed with drama and tears as the contestants read out dedications of love to each other outside the villa.
During her emotional speech, Dani told Jack she can’t wait to marry him and “have a family one day”.
Jack couldn’t even get through his speech without crying and had to walk away to compose himself.
There were also tears for Megan as she also struggled to get her words out as she declared her love for Wes.
However, many viewers spotted that all the couples had typed out versions of their speeches when they were seen handwriting them during the episode.
Many took to Twitter to brand the show a fix by switching out the speeches.
The final kicked off in style as host Caroline Flack debuted a head-turning gold dress as she walked into the villa.
However, the outfit divided viewers as many thought it was stunning but others were left a bit baffled by the design.
Some even compared it to a Twister ice lolly.
The show then started with the housemates getting a salsa dancing lesson, and Dani was left exasperated by Jack’s dad dancing.
Afterwards, the girls got a treat as they went out dress-shopping to find their perfect outfits for the Love Island ball.
They had a giggle as they picked out their frocks, with poor Megan revealing the one she wanted didn’t fit because she’s put on weight due to “Wes’ cheese toasties”.
Tonight’s final marked the end of the longest ever series of the hit ITV2 show.
And it’s arguably been the most popular, with over 3.4million people tuning in every night on average.
Over 80,000 people applied to be part of this year’s rollercoaster series, which saw 38 wannabe stars battling to get to the final.
