Love Island’s Shaughna Phillips and Paige Turley became besties from the very first day they entered the villa and although Shaughna might not have left the villa with a man, she definitely found love with her BFF.

Although the two were brutally separated when Shaughna was dumped from the villa just a week before the final, it’s safe to say their friendship is definitely one relationship that will last on the outside world.

Paige and her boyfriend Finn Tapp were crowned as the winners of Love Island last night and Shaughna celebrated in the best possible way.

She attended a screening of the final at the swanky W hotel in central London along with fellow ex-Islanders Sophie Piper, Nas Majeed and Connagh Howard and documented the evening on her Instagram story.

“Can I first just say thank you from the very bottom of my heart to everyone who has spent their time watching my journey, and reaching out with support, it means more than you’ll ever know! It is a very surreal world I am living in right now, I am just your average every day girl who was lucky enough to be offered the opportunity of a lifetime, and I will forever be grateful.”
