Series chronology |
The fifth series of Love Island began airing on 3 June 2019 on ITV2, [1] and concluded on 29 July 2019. The show was presented by Caroline Flack and narrated by Iain Stirling. [2] It is the fifth from the current revived series, but seventh overall. [3] Singer Craig David made a cameo appearance at a Ministry of Sound pool party as a DJ performing his new single "When You Know What Love Is".
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.
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]
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.
