Love Island UK 2024 gave viewers two runs at the villa rather than one. A winter spin-off landed in January, then the main summer series followed in June. Both handed over a cheque for £50,000. Two years on, only one of those winning couples is still speaking to each other, and they are now married.
Love Island UK 2024 produced two winning couples. Molly Smith and Tom Clare took the first All Stars series on 19 February 2024. Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan won series 11 on 29 July 2024 with 41 per cent of the public vote. They were the first Black couple to win the British show.

Key takeaways
- Two series aired in 2024: All Stars in January and February, then series 11 in June and July.
- Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan beat Nicole Samuel and Ciaran Davies in the summer final.
- All four series 11 finalist couples had split by December 2024, and none has reconciled.
- All Stars champions Molly Smith and Tom Clare married on 23 July 2026.
- Every episode is still streaming on ITVX at no cost.
Who won each 2024 series?
That summer final was closer than the winners’ margin suggests. Mimii and Josh took 41 per cent, with Nicole Samuel and Ciaran Davies on 35 per cent. Matilda Draper and Sean Stone finished third on 14 per cent. Ayo Odukoya and Jess Spencer came fourth on 10 per cent.
Josh’s route to the win was odd. He walked in on day 30 of a 48-day run, well after Casa Amor had finished, and still left with half the prize money 18 days later.
January’s spin-off was a shorter, sharper affair. Molly Smith and Tom Clare won on 35 per cent, narrowly ahead of Jess Gale and Callum Jones on 33 per cent. Sophie Piper and Josh Ritchie placed third, with Georgia Steel and Toby Aromolaran fourth.
That cheque is not the real payday, though. Reality fame turns into business income far more often than into appearance fees. Look at Jamie Laing’s net worth, which rests on a sweets brand rather than on screen time.
All Stars and series 11 compared
The two 2024 runs side by side
| Love Island: All Stars | Series 11 | |
|---|---|---|
| Dates | 15 January to 19 February 2024 | 3 June to 29 July 2024 |
| Villa | Franschhoek, South Africa | Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, Mallorca |
| Days | 37 | 48 |
| Episodes | 36 | 57 |
| Cast | 25 returning islanders | 39 new faces |
| Winners | Molly Smith and Tom Clare | Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan |
| Status in 2026 | Married | Split in October 2024 |
That contrast explains why the spin-off stuck around. Familiar faces with a bit of mileage on them turned out to be better value than another set of debutants.
The full series 11 line-up
Twelve islanders walked in on day one. First through the door were Ayo Odukoya, Ciaran Davies, Harriett Blackmore, Jess White, Mimii Ngulube and Munveer Jabbal. Alongside them came Nicole Samuel, Patsy Field, Ronnie Vint, Sam Taylor, Samantha Kenny and Sean Stone.
Joey Essex arrived that same evening as the first celebrity bombshell in the show’s modern run. He lasted until day 46.
The other arrivals who shaped the series were:
- Matilda Draper, in on day 15, third place by the final.
- Uma Jammeh, in on day 3, walked on day 31.
- Grace Jackson and Wil Anderson, both in on day 11.
- Jessy Potts and Trey Norman, in on day 20.
- Jess Spencer, a Casa Amor arrival on day 25 who reached the final.
- Josh Oyinsan and Reuben Collins, both in on day 30.
Add Konnor Ewudzi, Omar Nyame, Blade Siddiqi and Emma Milton to that list. Then count Hugo Godfroy, Tiffany Leighton, Ellie Jackson, Lolly Hart, Harry Baker, Lola Deluca and the seven-strong Casa Amor group. The total reaches 39.
Churn was the point. Roughly two-thirds of the cast never saw day one, and the producers kept feeding new arrivals in right up to day 37.
Are any Love Island UK 2024 couples still together?
No. Every couple who stood on that final terrace has since gone their separate ways, and the last of the four splits was confirmed before Christmas that year.
Series 11 finalists and what happened next
| Couple | Finish | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan | Winners, 41% | Split October 2024 |
| Nicole Samuel and Ciaran Davies | Runners-up, 35% | Split December 2024 |
| Matilda Draper and Sean Stone | Third, 14% | Split roughly a month after the final |
| Ayo Odukoya and Jess Spencer | Fourth, 10% | Split October 2024 |
Nicole later said the break-up came down to the gap between villa life and a normal week at home, not to anything Ciaran had done. It is a familiar ending. The one couple from 2024 who beat those odds came from the January series, not the summer one.
Contrast that with Tasha Ghouri and her boyfriend Andrew Le Page, who met in the 2022 villa and are still together. Lasting matches happen. They are simply rarer than the reunion specials suggest.
What the 2024 cast is doing now
Molly Smith and Tom Clare had the year. They got engaged in Dubai in September 2025, then married quietly at Stockport Town Hall on 23 July 2026, with a second celebration planned in Spain. Tom’s best man was fellow islander Casey O’Gorman.
Mimii went back to nursing. She had been working in mental health before the show and was training as a therapist, and she confirmed a new relationship in March 2026. Josh, a former Hemel Hempstead Town forward, now works through a talent agency and has about 170,000 Instagram followers.
Ciaran Davies had the strangest arc of the lot. He returned for the third All Stars series in early 2026, won it with Samie Elishi on 23 February, then split from her within a month.
Others went back for a second go too. Harriett Blackmore, Grace Jackson, Omar Nyame and Ronnie Vint all appeared in the 2025 All Stars run. Konnor Ewudzi, Jessy Potts and Sean Stone joined Ciaran in the 2026 series. Vint also turned up on Celebrity Ex on the Beach.
A ballroom booking is the other well-worn exit route. Strictly Come Dancing has taken islanders before, and fans pick over its pay every autumn. Figures like Motsi Mabuse’s earnings as a judge get quoted constantly. None of the 2024 class has landed a place yet.
How many people watched
Opening night on 3 June 2024 drew 2.73 million viewers on consolidated BARB figures, the highest of the run. Nightly episodes then settled between 2.2 million and 2.5 million. The final on 29 July pulled 2.22 million.
Those are respectable numbers for ITV2, though a long way from the show’s peak years. Airing that launch on ITV1 and ITV2 at once helped.
Where to watch the 2024 series in 2026
Both series remain on ITVX. Its standard tier costs nothing and plays adverts, so you can start series 11 from episode one tonight without paying anything.
- ITVX (free): full box sets, adverts included, sign-in required.
- ITVX Premium: £5.99 a month or £59.99 a year, no adverts on demand, plus downloads.
Fancy a rewatch? Start with the launch episode and the day 30 recoupling, then jump to the final. That gives you the whole arc in about four hours.
