This years' class of Love Island: All Stars have officially graduated with Casey O'Gorman and Gabby Allen being voted prom king and queen of the South African villa.

Second place was awarded to Luca Bish and Grace Jackson but it may well have been the most controversial final of the dating show, ever.

Between Olivia Hawkins accusing Grace of THOSE scandalous 'I will do anything to win' messages and the involvement of 'Messy' Mitch Taylor we didn't know what to believe.

But when it came down to it, the romance reality TV show was won by winter Love Island funnyman Casey and season three gym girlie, Gabby and as far as winning couples go, they are pretty well suited.

Although they didn't bag the £50k cash, Luca and Grace did find each other and that's what the dating show is all about, right?

What happened when Luca Bish was on Love Island: All Stars?

What DIDN'T happen would be easier to answer.

From nearly having fisticuffs with Scott Thomas to snogging Samie Elishi, when he told Grace he would not, Luca was caught up in some major dramz.

He was first put with Olivia, by the public no less, but sparks failed to fly despite them sharing a few flirty glances and Luca soon coupled up with Kaz Crossley and Olivia with Marcel Somerville.

When Grace strolled into the villa alongside Ron Hall, she immediately caught Luca's eye and on day nine they coupled up.

Despite Luca kissing Samie and everybody seeming to want them to make a go of things - they were even put together by the public who obviously just want to create drama - Luca and Grace powered through and ended coming in second place.

Between us and Iain Stirling, we've hammered this home, right? He used to work as a fishmonger. We also like that his last name rhymes with ‘fish’.
