Love Island UK Season 5 - Update

There are times when you want to venture out of the U.S. reality tv scene and check out another country. We recommend that you check out Love Island UK. So far, we have finished Season 5. It was refreshing.  It was nice to see how classy and mature young adults behave in the UK.  This season aired in June 2019.  Let us know what you think if you check it out on Hulu or other entertainment sources.  Get ready as this Season is a lot longer than the American version!

Here is a summary of all the Islanders, however, we will only provide updates for the Islanders who appeared on Day 1 and Islanders who were finalists.

Callum Macleod (28), Sherif Lanre (20), Elma Pazar (26), Joe Garratt (22), Yewande Biala (23), Tom Walker (29), Arabella Chi (28), Stevie Bradley (21), Nabila Badda (29), Maria Wild (22), Lavena Back (23), Dennon Lewis (22), Dan Rose (21),Jourdan Riane (24), Danny Williams (21), Lucie Donlan (21), George Rains (22), Amy Hart (26), Marvin Brooks (29), Joanna Chimonides (22), Michael Griffiths (27), Francesca Allen (23), Harley Brash (20), Chris Taylor (28), Jordan Hames (24), Anna Vakili (29), Belle Hassan (21), Anton Danyluk (24), Maura Higgins (28), Curtis Pritchard (23), Ovie Soko (28), India Reynolds (28), Tommy Fury (20), Molly-Mae Hague (20), Greg O'Shea (24), and Amber Gill (21).  

Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea.

Amber Gill from United Kingdom and Greg O'Shea from Ireland won this season of Love Island.  Greg actually held the $50K envelope, and he did the right thing by sharing it with Amber, since she was the reason why he won.  

​This straight talking British girl entered on Day 1, and nice and laid-back Greg entered on Day 44.  It was reported in September 2019 that they broke up.  In an article, Greg stated the reason for the split is pure reality: the distance and busy engagements for Amber.  They lasted for five weeks, so please give young love a little credit :). #loveislandUK

Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury

Molly Mae Hague, a 20 year old Social Media Influencer and Tommy Fury, a 20 year old pro boxer who is a half-brother to two time heavy weight champion, Tyson Luke Fury, were high contenders to win.  They had an ongoing relationship that started rather early during the season. 

Tommy Fury was a delight to watch.  He is so classy, sophisticated, intelligent and wise beyond his years.  We think he should consider becoming a movie star!  He is gorgeous, charming and would make so many ladies smile watching him on the big screen.

Unfortunately, Molly Mae Hague wasn't popular with the fans.  During the episodes, their feedback painted her as a gold digger using Tommy to win.  The good news is that they are still together.  They live together and Tommy stated he is planning to propose to Molly Mae.

India Reynolds and Ovie Soko

​India Reynolds and Ovie Soko finished in third place.  They both were new arrivals and were paired together.  They dated shortly after the show, but it didn't last.

Curtis Prichard and Maura Higgins.

Curtis Prichard was a delight to watch.  He is extremely mature and wise for a 23 year old.  He was coupled with Amy Hart for the longest time.  Amy was somewhat insecure, but Curtis was always a gentleman towards her.  

It wasn't until the guys were taken out of the house for an experience with a group of singles did Curtis decide that he wanted to explore other relationships.  Amy was extremely hurt and she decided to leave the Island.  

​Maura Higgins, while not included with the original arrivals, she was on the island for a long time.  Maura isn't shy, and she tried to build relationships with multiple guys.  Once Curtis became single, she approached Curtis and they began a relationship.  They finished in fourth place.  The are no longer dating.
