Season 12 of Love Island UK has been packed with bombshells, drama, surprises, unexpected shake-ups, headline-making moments, and even some on-screen tension between the host, Maya Jama, and contestant Ben. It’s safe to say that this season has firmly captured our attention.
As the end draws near, curiosity is building around when and how the show will wrap up. While ITV hasn’t officially announced a finale date, there’s strong speculation that the last episode will air on Monday, 4th August. If that’s true, fans only have a few weeks left to enjoy the drama.
The grand finale is expected to be broadcast live at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX, featuring four couples as they compete for both the public’s affection and a £50,000 prize. Set in the iconic Mallorcan villa, the night will once again be hosted by Maya Jama, with viewers given the power to decide who walks away with the win.
