Fans were thrilled to see the 27-year-old duo take home the crown and £50,000 in prize money.

Usually, the two winners are separated and asked to choose an envelope

Each - one containing £50,000 while the other contains £0

Those pick the envelope with prize funds need to decide whether they want to share the money with their partner or not

That means they each get £25,000, or if they want to steal the whole amount for themselves.

Splitting money is a sign of islanders' commitment to their partner

It shows whether they ultimately entered the villa for love or money.
