Islanders gathered at the fire pit. ITV

Love Island final airs tonight as show hits 12.1 million streams on Virgin Media Player

Among the final contestants is Irishman Dami Hope who has coupled up with Indiyah Pollack.

THE LOVE ISLAND finale will be broadcast tonight as viewers wait to see who will be crowned as winners of the hit reality UK TV show. 

Season 8 of the programme has hit 12.1 million streams so far on the Virgin Media Player and on-demand. 

Following weeks of recoupling, friendships and tears, the finale airs at 9pm tonight on Virgin Media Two and on the broadcaster’s online player. 

Four couples have made it to the final and the public will vote tonight for their favourites to win. 

The winners will have a chance to either split £50,000 (€59,700) between them, or one of the two will have an option to take the £50,000 for themselves.

Among the final contestants is Irishman Dami Hope who has coupled up with Indiyah Polack.  

ITV’s popular reality show involves men and women living on a villa in Mallorca with the aim of finding a partner to couple up with.

A one-hour episode of the show airs every day of the week except Saturday, and can involve challenges that the couples partake in.

The show has been watched by millions in recent years but has also attracted controversy amid concerns for the well-being of some previous contestants. 

Last year’s winners were Millie Court and Liam Reardon.

    @Danny
    I would like to point out that I work with drug addicts every day! Class B (HASH)has longer lasting and probably even worse effects than the various Heroin’s, Crack’s , amphetamine’s that are out there
    Long term use makes people so paranoid, and it’s a very different situation then that most perceive Class B the calming relaxing effects that we see on TV

    If u think our Law Enforcers are wasting their time Then I suggest u have a good think about this 1, if your child had been smoking this (SHITE is how i would describe it ) for years and their once intelligent curious minds were active now there brains are so fried that you can’t even have a simple conversation with them , then maybe u would think twice !!!!!

    Class A,B, &C are all as bad as each other,
    Illegal Importers, Dealers of banned illegal substances should not be jailed its too good for them, they should be made work day in day out in homes where these poor folk are detained due to drug induced mental health issues! That would teach them!

    I call bullshit Anita, how can you put cannabis in the same category as heroin? Are you for real? I haven’t heard of anyone dying of a cannabis overdose. Also, cannabis doesn’t necessarily make people paranoid, it affects people differently. And you work with these people? God help them.

    Cannabis is a gateway drug which not always but can often lead to the use of heavier class A drugs. By inhibiting the gateway drug they are still lessening the impact and demand for class A drugs. ‘nipping it in the bud’ as such.

    The two Irish are a couple who are very well known in the Cork city chattering classes brigade. Your man has a penchant for fast expensive cars. Now everyone knows how he could afford them.
