LoveIsland 2025 has come to an almighty end with the winner of this year's series making history.
Spoiler alert guys and girls: if you haven't seen the final and don't want to know who wins, we implore you to look away now.
American export Toni Laites and Casa Amor bombshell Cach Mirjah Mercer, managed to win over the public and were crowned the winners of series 12, taking home the £50k as well as everybody's love.
Toni is the first even American contestant on the UK version with Cach being the first ever Casa Amor lad to win the series. We love record breakers.
What's even more poetic is that Toni was joined by her villa besties, Shakira Khan and Yasmin Pettet in the final; Shakira was the runner up alongside Harry Cooksley (no comment) and Yas came in third place with Jamie Rhodes (black cat x golden retriever supremacy).

What happened when Toni Laites was on Love Island?
She didn't have the smoothest of journeys, but she came out on top with two new besties, a new fella, and a crown.
Toni was the first bombshell to enter the villa on night one. She immediately chose to couple up with Ben Holbrough, which led to Shakira becoming single. However, Toni soon switched her allegiance to Irish rugby player, Conor Phillips.
Their relationship faced challenges when Emily Moran arrived. Toni eventually stepped back from Conor and developed a new connection with bombshell, Harrison Solomon.
Toni and Harrison's journey was bumpy to say the least; with him snogging Helena Ford despite having JUST been on a date with Toni and changing his mind about who he wanted nearly as much as Harry with Shakira and Helena.
When Casa Amor came, Toni realised she shared a spark with Cach and chose to recouple with him. Harrison had formed a connection with Casa girl, Lauren Wood and brought her back to the main villa.
Despite NOT being in a couple, Toni and Harrison continued the flirt, with Harrison going from Toni to Lauren, unsure of who he wanted to be with.
After Harrison and Lauren took part in, ahem, certain bedroom antics, Toni decided to take a step back from the love triangle, however, unbeknownst to Toni they had, in fact, slept together. Just a day later – with the help of Harry – Harrison organised a secret meeting with Toni on the terrace and essentially asked her to pick him in the next recoupling as it had been revealed the girls would be choosing.
Everyone in the villa, including Lauren and Cach, were gagged and confused when Toni did just that. It didn't take long for Harrison to change his mind and tell Toni 'he missed' Lauren. It was the final straw for the American who called time on her romance with the bombshell.
Having never fully called things off with Cach, Toni showed remorse for her actions and after many apologies, Cach forgave her and they rekindled the romance. The couple made it all the way to the final and ending up winning the show, with Cach telling Toni he loved her. Swoon.
That being said, the true love story of the 2025 villa was the friendship between Toni, Shakira and Yas. There was a clear divide between the girls this year, with Meg Moore, Helena, Emily and at one time, Megan Forte-Clarke on one side, and Toni, Shakira and Yas on the other with the likes of BillyKiss Azeez and Andrada Pop often backing them.
The girls couldn't help but bicker and row at every given opportunity with The Grafties and Move Night revealing all the not so nice things they had all said behind each other's backs.
What has Emily Moran said about her 'feud' with Toni Laites?
Toni made it clear that she wasn't a fan of Emily's 'Little Miss Sunshine' attitude in the villa and they had a huge row. Following her dumping, Emily spoke out about how they left things and it was very interesting.
'Me and Toni, honestly, we had that one little blip, but we got over it straight away,' she explained.
What is Toni Laites' claim to fame?
Prior to entering the villa, Ton opened up to producers revealing, 'I have ulcerative colitis. I had to go to hospital the same week as my senior prom. They told me, "You can’t go" and then they said, "Surprise, you’re going to prom!" Nothing that exciting happens in Connecticut, so it was a big deal and a few articles were written about me.
'What I hope people see from me being on Love Island is that not all illnesses are visible. It doesn’t have to hold you back, you can travel etc…I live my life day-to-day like anyone else.'
