Contents

On 29 July 2019, the winners of the series were by Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea, having received 48.82% of the final vote. Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury finished as runners-up. [4]

Series five is the highest-rated series ever; with a series average of 5.61 million viewers, up 1.65 million on the previous 2018 series.

Production

During the final of the previous series on 30 July 2018, it was confirmed that Love Island would return for a fifth season due to air the following year. The first 10-second trailer for the series was released on 20 May 2019, featuring "#DayDotIsComing" and confirming the new start date. [1] This was the first series not to feature "Love Island: The Weekly Hotlist," which previously aired on a Saturday featuring highlights from that week. Instead, it was replaced by "Love Island: Unseen Bits." [5]

On 22 May 2019, ITV released a statement that outlined the duty of care processes ahead of the series following the suicides of former contestants Sophie Gradon and Mike Thalassitis. It highlights the care offered before, during, and after the series for each of the contestants. [6] The programme announced that they will offer counseling to all contestants in hopes of preventing further incidents that concern the mental welfare of contestants. [7]

In December, it was announced that Caroline Flack would not return due to her assault charge. This series marked the last since its revival in 2015 to be hosted by Flack. [8]

Islanders

The Islanders for the fifth series were released on 27 May 2019, just one week before the launch. [9] However, throughout the series, more islanders entered the villa to find love. On 11 June 2019, it was announced that Sherif Lanre had been removed from the villa, due to "breaking villa rules." [10] Lanre later said, "I feel that the people in charge of the show have an unconscious bias around the regulations for boys and girls, and maybe different races." [11] On 9 July 2019, it was announced that Amy Hart had decided to leave the villa for "personal reasons." After being dumped by her "half boyfriend," Curtis, she said she knew she could not find love again while in the villa. [12] The series was won by Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea, who received 48.82% of the final vote.

Notes

  • ^Note 1 : Curtis and Tommy arrived after the coupling on Day 1, but were told they would be able to steal girls for themselves on Day 2. Curtis chose Amy, and Tommy picked Lucie.
  • ^Note 2 : On Day 14, the islanders voted anonymously for the two least compatible couples. As Anton and Elma, and Joe and Lucie received the most votes, they went head-to-head with each other in a public vote with only one islander from each couple being able to stay. On Day 16, it was revealed that Joe and Elma received the least votes and were therefore dumped from the island.
  • ^Note 3 : On Day 25, after receiving the fewest public votes, Amy and Curtis, Anna and Jordan, Arabella and Danny, and Maura and Tom were at risk of being dumped. The remaining islanders had to choose one boy and one girl to dump from the island. The boys chose Arabella and the girls chose Tom.
  • ^Note 4 : Original Islanders were only given the option to remain in their current couple, or re-couple with one of the new Islanders.
  • ^Note 5 : On Day 36, after the public voted for their favourite couple, it was announced that Amy and Curtis, Danny and Jourdan, and Lucie and George were the three couples with the fewest votes. Danny and Jourdan were then immediately dumped having been told they'd received the least. It was then up to the safe islanders to pick a second couple to dump. They chose Lucie and George.

Controversies

After ITV announced The Jeremy Kyle Show was cancelled following guest Steve Dymond's suicide, some fans called Love Island to be cancelled as well since former contestants Sophie Gradon and Mike Thalassitis also committed suicide. Fans also noted the show's negative portrayal of body image. [57]

Some contestants, including Tommy Fury and Maura Higgins, have been criticised for using homophobic slurs on past social media posts. [58] [59] Higgins has also made unwanted sexual advances toward Fury, including using the term 'fanny flutters'. [60] [61] Regulator Ofcom received 486 complaints regarding Higgins's unwanted sexual advances toward Fury. [62] Another 302 complaints were recorded about Lucie Donlan's poor treatment from other contestants, including partner Joe Garratt and islander Amy Hart reportedly gaslighting and bullying her respectively. [63] Between 14–18 June, Ofcom heard 1,215 complaints. [64]

Sherif Lanre's removal

On 11 June 2019, Sherif Lanre was removed for "breaking the rules" with no further explanation. His exit was not shown on screen. Fans speculated that producers were attempting to avoid further scandal. [65] [66]
