Faye and Teddy saw 14.85% of users voting for them, landing them in third place. Kaz and Tyler, who were the first of the four finalists to be booted from the villa, received 12.27% of the votes. 

Love Island’s voting system has faced criticism this year, with viewers as well as previous contestants branding it ‘pointless’.

The series saw a string of public votes take place, but the final decision as to who leaves the villa was always down to the contestants – resulting in them opting to save their friends.

Earlier in August, contestants Abi, Mary, Kaz, Dale, Tyler and Jake were voted the least popular by the public, with host Laura Whitmore announcing that the safe islanders would decide which two would be dumped.

Amber Gill – who won the show in 2019 – took to Twitter to ask why this was the case, penning: ‘Why would they leave the decision to the islanders AGAIN makes it too obvious!’

Paige Turley, the reigning champion, agreed: ‘Why allow the public to vote yet continually let the islanders decide who stays?’

2018 contestant Samira Mighty chimed in with: ‘I don’t see the point of a public vote ???? When they always just ask the islanders to choice … like every time!!! I’m shook tbh!’

The final of this year’s Love Island aired on ITV2 on Monday night and saw Liam and Millie’s very rocky journey end in glee as they won £50k, and split the money between them, with Liam asking Millie to be his official girlfriend during their live exit interview.

The remaining couples of the series were whittled down bit-by-bit as they waited to find out who would be crowned the series’ winners. 

Leading couple: Liam and Millie were crowned the winners of Love Island on Monday, and ITV has now released the show's voting figures, with the couple earning 42% of the public's votes
