Love Island 2023 winners 'confirmed' one day before final as expert exposes telling sign

Love Island’ s winning couple has been revealed just one day before the grand final and it’s all thanks to some saucy antics that went on in Casa Amor.

Body language expert Darren Stanton, who has been dubbed a “human lie detector”, believes one pair’s connection will see them crowned king and queen of the villa.

With the final due to air on Monday 13th March, there are currently five couples all hoping to be in with a chance of making it to the last episode.

Viewers will find out tonight which couple will get the boot but Darren is convinced one pairing is the real deal.

Speaking on behalf of Betfair he said: "I am going to stand by the prediction I made several weeks ago that Shaq and Tanya will be crowned the winners.

"This is based on the deep level of connection that exists between the two.”

Considered by many to be one of the strongest couples from the start, Tanya stunned viewers when she had her head turned by new boy Martin Akinola in Casa Amor while Shaq chose to stay faithful.

But Darren thinks this is what has made them the main contenders for the crowns.

He said: "They have obviously been through a lot in the villa, where they have been tested on numerous occasions.

"However, their level of rapport, connection and reciprocal liking has definitely allowed them to overcome their issues."

In a Love Island first, the remaining five couples were asked to vote for the pair they felt were the least compatible.

The shock twist means the pairs with the most votes are vulnerable and at risk of being dumped before the final.

During Friday’s episode it was revealed that Jessie and Will, Lana and Ron, Sanam and Kai were in the bottom three and would have their fates decided on by the public.

Before that happens however, Love Island viewers will get to see the much anticipated – “meet the family” segment.

For Shaq and Tanya things get awkward very quickly when the airport worker’s sister confronts his girlfriend over what she got up to in Casa Amor.

In a sneak peek of tonight’s episode the families of the final five couples come to say hello but it’s not the cosy reunion they might have been expecting.

Starting off strong, Tanya’s mum Polite and her Auntie Cynthia arrive and shower the couple with compliments.

Auntie Cynthia tells the two: “We’ve seen you guys from the start, we’ve seen you grow, we’ve seen you fall out, we’ve seen you pick up the pieces, we’ve seen you make up and to me, that’s love.”

However, Shaq’s sister Tahira and friend Levi also arrive and it’s clear there are a few things that need to be said.

Admitting to Tanya and her family, Shaq tells them: "My sister had a few choice words to say."

*Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2
