Amber and Greg sensationally crowned winners of Love Island 2019

AMBER Gill and Greg O’Shea have been sensationally crowned the winners of Love Island 2019.

The beautician, 21, and Irish rugby player, 24, fought off Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague to snatch victory tonight.

There were tense scenes as they went through the formality of having to open the golden envelopes revealing whether either of them would attempt to steal the £50,000 prize.

However, the nation breathed a huge sigh of relief when they opted to share the cash.

The result is a huge upset for the show, with Molly-Mae and Tommy having been tipped as the winners for weeks.

Ovie Soko and India Reynolds earlier said they were “stunned” to have come third in Love Island – having only been together for 12 days.

That leaves Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague and Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea in the brutal battle for the £50,000 prize.

The 28-year-old basketball star told Caroline Flack: “I’m here with a wonderful lady, I didn’t even expect to still be here to be honest.”

He said their first stop would be getting their families together at a barbecue, insisting: “I love to get on the grill.”

Many fans were unhappy that the pair – seen as one of the most genuine pairings in the villa – had finished outside the top two.

TV presenter Rick Edwards tweeted: “Imagine dragging Ovie down to the bronze medal position. Disgraceful.”

Many fans were unhappy that the pair – seen as one of the most genuine pairings in the villa – had finished outside the top two.

Moments earlier, Curtis Pritchard and Maura Higgins became the first couple to be dumped from the Love Island villa tonight.

The 23-year-old ballroom dancer and the 28-year-old grid girl were sent home in a public vote, putting them fourth in the competition this year.
