What happened last week?
Week seven was action packed, with re-kindled romances, the Grafties, and a dramatic recoupling coming into the final week.
Megan Forte-Clarke re-entered the villa and immediately re-kindled her romance with Conor Phillips after he and Shakira Khan called it quits. Ex-islander Blu Chagini also arrived and coupled up with Helena, who was left single after Harry Cooksley admitted he still had feelings for Shakira despite breaking up three weeks ago.
Week seven also brought the infamous ‘Grafties’ on Friday night, where behind-the-scenes footage was shown to all the islanders, exposing their true feelings, bringing controversy, drama, and upset.
Boris, Emma and Billykiss were axed from the villa in a dramatic triple-dumping, which leaves seven couples remaining in the last week before the winners of this season are announced next Monday.

Who will win?
Below are the odds for which couple will win Series 12 of Love Island:
Antonia Laites & Cach Mercer – 11/10
Despite not being in an official couple, the pairing of Antonia and Cach is something many viewers are rooting for. They initially paired up in Casa Amor, leaving Toni’s partner back at the main villa Harrison to explore new connections, as he did in Casa Amor.
However, following a dramatic recoupling which saw Toni switch back to Harrison, unbeknownst to Cach, the two looked over. However, with the exit of Harrison from the villa, we may well see the two rekindle.
Yasmin Pettet & Jamie Rhodes – 5/2
Yasmin and Jamie bonded after meeting in Casa Amor, where initial flirtations turned into one of the most stable pairings in the villa. Their relationship has been supported by fans, who admire their easy-going dynamic and steady growth as a duo.
Megan Forte Clarke & Conor Phillips – 6/1
Megan and Conor re-coupled upon Megan re-entry into the villa, as they re-ignited their romance that began at the start of the series. Conor was coupled with Shakira after Megan’s initial dumping, but now she’s back they have been able to pick up where they left off. The Irish duo has strong chemistry together and are a popular pairing in the villa.
Megan Moore & Dejon Noel-Williams – 15/2
Megan and Dejon paired early in the villa and built their relationship as time has gone on. Megan’s emotional journey, from coupling with others to eventually finding stability, aligns well with Dejon’s grounding presence. Their developing bond has earned them a spot among the more sensible and mature partnerships.
Shakira Khan & Harry Cooksley – 9/1
Harry has been one of the more controversial characters in the villa and seemingly only had eyes for Helena but realised he may have been supressing his feelings for Shakira all this time. Shakira, who was left heartbroken by Harry, is ready to give him another chance going into the final week, as she can’t ignore her feelings for him.
Angel Swift & Ty Isherwood – 16/1
Angel and Ty have been the most recent coupling. Their pairing emerged following Angel’s entry as a bombshell, but the timing of their connection has made them one of the final duos on screen, and in with a chance.
Helena Ford & Blu Chegini – 50/1
Blu’s first stint in the villa left him single and swiftly dumped but he re-entered as a late bombshell this week. Meanwhile, after Harry followed his heart which screamed for Shakira, Blu wasn’t left with much choice but to couple up with Helena.
