The finale of the 13th season of Love Island has left fans divided with some saying it was meant to be, while others have been left calling it "rigged".
The latest instalment of ITV's reality TV show saw plenty of drama as usual, including multiple people quitting the show.
However, after almost two months of television, the winners were finally crowned.
Lorenzo Alessi and Julia Majchrzak were announced as winners, taking home the £50,000 cash prize and beating the competition from Kavan Murphy and Jasmine Muller.
Despite their win, not everyone was best pleased with former season 10 contender Whitney Adebayo taking to social media to label the whole thing "rigged".
She posted a picture of the final with the caption "I think I've seen this film before...rigged."
People were fast to back this up on socials too, with one person commenting on X: "Love Island UK is so rigged ew."
Another wrote: "Love Island UK is rigged I love Lorenzo but there is no way they are the best couple lmfao."
Meanwhile, another posted: "Love island UK is rigged man!"
Of course, there's nothing to suggest that it is actually rigged, and these remain opinions, especially seeing as plenty of people were more than happy with the outcome.
Meanwhile, Julia and Lorenzo dominated the final vote and were clear favourites.
The real drama, it seems, surrounds one of the islanders, George Knight who people claimed was “cropped out” of scenes.
Knight left the villa shortly after his arrival at the beginning of the season, citing "personal reasons".
However, viewers flocked to social media after realising that he wasn’t even mentioned during the final moments, and was nowhere to be seen in the clips.
