Who are the favourites to Love Island 2022?

According to Betfair, the current couple looking likely to win Love Island series eight is Ekin-Su and Davide. The pair had a brief tiff following movie night after Davide was left unimpressed with Ekin-Su and George's "flirting", but it seems they've patch things up.

According to another poll from Goss, Ekin-Su and Davide are once again at the top, while Indiyah and Dami are second favourites.

Despite being boyfriend and girlfriend, and dropping the 'L-bomb', Tasha and Andrew are listed as the least likely couple to win, while Gemma and Luca rank just above them. But, as with every series, the audience have the final say so we'll have to wait and see…

Ekin-Su and Davide are the favourites to win

Despite being boyfriend and girlfriend, and dropping the 'L-bomb', Tasha and Andrew aren't listed in the top three couples expected to win. But given Dami and Luca's recent fallout with Tasha, it may be that the viewers turn their support towards Tasha.

Who do the fans want to win Love Island 2022?

Since the beginning of the series, fans have been taking to social media to give their thoughts on who they think could win the show. Although things change on the programme over the eight weeks it airs, at the moment, fans seem convinced that Ekin-Su and Davide could land the top spot.

One person said on Twitter: "I feel like Love Island is full of very immature 'boys'. However if #Davide or #ekinsu don't win then there's something wrong! In my eyes only real couple in there! #LoveIsland."
