Love Island (Season 5)

The **fifth season** of the revived Love Island premiered on ITV2 on June 3, 2019. It ran for 65 days with the finale airing on August 30th, 2019.

The winners were 23-year old Igor Kelmer and 28-year old Maura Higgens. This season features Casa-Amor and a new segment known as 'the shake-up' which had the public vote for the islanders to be coupled up with another islander for five days to give them a chance at finding a connection. This is also the longest season to date with 65 main episodes, and, the only season to have five finalists.

This served as the final season to feature Caroline Flack as the full presenter following her death on July 15th, 2021. Islander from this season, Igor, took her place as temporary host of the show starting with the Casa Amor recouping. Starting with Season Seven, Maura Higgens took her place as permanent host.

## Coupling

### Notes

1. Curtis and Tommy arrived after the coupling on Day 1 and were told they would be able to steal girls for themselves on Day 2. They chose Amy and Lucie respectively. Thus, leaving Anton and Joe single.
2. On Day 14, the islanders voted anonymously for the two least compatible couples. As Anton and Elma, and Joe and Lucie received the most votes, they went head-to-head with each other in a public vote with only one islander from each couple being able to stay. On Day 16, it was revealed that Joe and Elma received the least votes and were therefore dumped from the island.
3. On Day 25, after receiving the fewest public votes, Amy and Curtis, Anna and Jordan, Arabella and Danny, and Maura and Tom were at risk of being dumped. The remaining islanders had to choose one boy and one girl to dump from the island. The boys chose Arabella and the girls chose Tom.
4. On Day 30, the original Islanders were told they either had to stick with their current partner, or twist and choose a new Islander to couple up with. As Amber and Jordan chose to not recouple but their partner did, they were both left single.
5. On Day 36, after the public voted for their favourite couple, it was announced that Amy and Curtis, Danny and Jourdan, and Lucie and George were the three couples with the fewest votes. Danny and Jourdan were then immediately dumped having been told they'd received the least. It was then up to the safe islanders to pick a second couple to dump. They chose Lucie and George.
6. On Day 46, the Islanders were informed the public had been voting for new temporary couples for the new 'shake it-up' segment of the show. It was revealed the public had voted for Belle and Igor, Maura and Jordan, Molly-Mae and Greg, Amber and Tommy, India and Chris, Harley and Anton, Ellie and Ovie, Francesca and Michael and Anna and Curtis. The public also voted for Yewande to be coupled up with new boy Alexander. The islanders were given five days to get closer to their new partner before another recouping.
7. On Day 49, Caroline arrived at the club house to inform the islanders that the public had been voting on their favourite couples, as Ovie and Ellie had the least votes, they were in danger. The islanders were given the chance to save one of them, as the newest Islander, Alexander was not given a vote as he was also exempt from the dumping. Igor, Michael, Belle, Anton, Jordan and Tommy and Chris voted to save Ellie. Yewande, Amber, Anna, Molly-Mae, Maura, Curtis, Greg, India, Francesca and Harley voted to save Ovie. With the most votes, Ovie was saved and Ellie was dumped from the Island.
8. On Day 50, following the 'Shake it-up' segment, the girls were given the choice to couple up with anyone. Molly-Mae and Tommy; Belle and Anton; and, Anna and Jordan decided to go back to their original couplings. The following changes to couples were made:
	* Amber decided to couple up with Greg, despite being coupled up with Tommy for the segment.
	* Francesca chose to remain coupled up with Michael.
	* India decided to couple up with Ovie, despite being coupled up with Chris during the segment.
	* Harley decided to couple up with Chris, despite being coupled up with Anton
	* Yewande decided to remain coupled up with Alexander.
	* Maura decided to couple up with Igor, despite being coupled up with Jordan.
9. On Day 51, the public voted for their three favourite couples, which were Igor and Maura, Tommy and Molly-Mae, and Greg and Amber. The three couples were given the decision to vote for a single islander to dump and the partner of that islander could choose to remain on the island or leave. As all three couples chose to dump Alexander, he left the villa and Yewande was left single as she chose to stay.
