How long is the Love Island 2021 final tonight? What time does it start and finish?

Love Island 2021 is coming to a close tonight, and we will finally find out who will walk away with the £50,000 prize – and whether they will steal or split it.

The ITV2 show has provided the publish with daily dose of drama for the past couple of months.

The last few days leading up to the final have been no exception, with Jake Cornish and Liberty Poole deciding to leave the villa together as friends.

The two had been coupled up since day one, and even became boyfriend and girlfriend, but came to the decision that it would be best if they split up and leave as friends.

That leaves the remaining couples as follows: Chloe Burrow and Toby Aromolaran, Millie Court and Liam Reardon, Kaz Kamwi and Tyler Cruickshank and Faye Winter and Teddy Soares.

The finale usually runs slightly longer than an average Love Island episode, which usually lasts for an hour.

The Love Island final will last for 95 minutes, just like the first episode of this season.

It's currently schedules to finish at 10.35pm.

What will happen on the Love Island final?

The Love Island finalists are Kaz, Tyler, Chloe, Toby, Millie, Liam, Teddy and Faye (ITV)

Which couple do you hope will win the Love Island final? Let us know in the comments below.

The final episode is aired live and is hosted by Laura Whitmore, but is coupled with pre-recorded scenes from the last 24 hours.

Usually, the finalists will receive glamorous makeovers and pampering in time for eh final.

The girls usually get whisked away for a makeover and pick out some beautiful ballgowns, while the guys get ready in their suits.

Love Island bosses are known for changing up the format, but usually there is a celebration in the garden of some sorts while the islanders get to see how incredible the other half looks.

They usually have some drinks while they look back on their time in the villa.

As usual, the public will again vote on the four remaining couples.

The winning couple will choose between two envelopes, giving one of them the opportunity to steal or split the cash.

The person who picks the envelope with the money inside will decide whether to split it with the other half, or keep it for themselves.

In other words, they will have to choose between love or money.

So far no one has decided to keep the money for themselves after being crowned winner.

After the show finishes the islanders will fly back to the UK and will be able to check how many Instagram followers they have gained.

Love Island airs tonight on ITV2 at 9pm.
