Love Island fans all say same thing about live final over winner result 'delay'

Love Island 2023 viewers were all left thinking the same thing on Monday night, as the winter series' live finale aired.

Host Maya Jama introduced the final four couples to the live show, as they met members of the public for the first time since entering the villa.

While many of the Islanders were originals from day one back in January, others had made their debuts across the series.

Left standing were Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad, Lana Jenkins and Ron Hall, Tom Clare and Samie Elishi, and Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan.

As all four couples waited to learn their fates, viewers were a little distracted during the final episode of the series.

Viewers were quick notice that just 20 minutes in, there had been two advert breaks and a lot of filler content.

While this is normal for the final episode, with viewers seeing the final couples dress up and declare their love for each other, fans were irritated to learn the episode would be an hour and 30 minutes long.

Viewers urged the show to air a shorter episode and get to the results, instead of delaying them until the end of the episode.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer said: "This is gonna be an hour and a half of nothing. Just give us the results and be done with it."

Another viewer said: "Just give us the results already," as a third begged: "Maya Jama should leak the result again I rather know now."

A fourth viewer said: "90 minutes of filler till the result," as another tweeted: "Ngl i just wonna see the results then be on my way."

Meanwhile, another fan begged: "@MayaJama spoil the winners please this is so boring."

The final aired following the last elimination of the series on Sunday night, as Will and Jessie were dumped.

But before fans officially found out who had gone, a blunder during an advert break saw the dumped couple feature in a clip - revealing their fate.

Before the vote off, there were just five couples left in the villa ahead of the final. Kai and Sanam, Will and Jessie and Lana and Ron were up for a possible exit whilst Tanya and Shaq and Samie and Tom were excluded from the public vote.

However, fans fumed when Will and Jessie were shown alongside Casey and Rosie being interviewed on After Sun, before the actual exit was even aired on TV - with fans venting their frustration on social media.

Host Maya had already posted a video on Instagram, which saw Jessie and Will stood in the back for After Sun, but things got worse when they aired a clip of Maya saying she'd be chatting with dumped Islanders Will and Jessie and Casey and Rosie.

Taking to Twitter, angry viewers fumed over the mistake, as one wrote: "Ooh ITV doing one worse than Maya's Instagram as they just revealed to everyone that isn't on social media who got dumped #loveisland."

"Dumped islanders continues to show Casey, Rosie, Will & Jessie … showing who leaves before they even air it #LoveIsland," a second added, whilst a third wrote: "Lmaoooo what a blunder!! They have just revealed that Will and Jessie have been dumped in that aftersun clip #loveIsland." A fourth added: "WHY ARE THEY TELLING US WHO IS DUMPED ALREADY #loveisland."

Love Island airs every night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
