Their shock victory meant series favourites Nicole Samuel and Ciaran Davies came runners-up – despite having been coupled up from the start.

Mimii and Josh got together two weeks before the final after her on/off romance with Ayo Odukoya, with her confessing she still had feelings for her former flame.

But nurse Mimii was a firm favourite among fans from the moment she entered the villa, with many suggesting she’s the reason she and Josh won.

One wrote on social media: “Let’s be honest, people didn’t vote for the most compatible or genuine couple to win, they just voted cause they wanted Mimii to win.”

Another said: “I’m a full Mimii and Josh supporter but can the girl at least show that she’s interested in that man like damn.”

A third added: “Mimii had a sensational #loveisland experience.

“Lots of good looking men checking for her + Josh. Never dumped despite being single couple times. Little bit of drama to stay relevant, looked amazing the entire time and pretty much every single islander LOVED her + loads of fans.”

After Mimii confessed to still having feelings for Ayo he was quick to shut it down and insisted he was focused on his romance with Jess Spencer.

But Mimii was later slammed by fans after she told Josh she’d wanted to speak to Ayo to close the door on things with him.

One viewer said: “Mimii babes stop lying please!”

Another laughed: “Mimi can lieeeeeeee!”

Last night were also left convinced Nicole and Ciaran were “fuming” after missing out on the prize.

 

 

One wrote: “Ciaran and Nicole thought they had it in the bag. They were fuming.”

A second posted: “Nicole and Ciaran thought they won.”

“I know Nicole and Ciaran are fuming,” a third said while another added: “Nicole and Ciaran fuming! All that hard work for nothing.”
