"I'm SO excited to watch Ekin-Su & Davide's careers / lives flourish. I feel like a proud child," celebrated a fourth before adding: "mom & dad [sic]."

Meanwhile, a fifth used the pair's victory to argue that we need older contestants in future seasons.

They wrote: "Ekin-Su & Davide are proof that we want to see islanders over the age of 25 fall in love too pls [sic]."

As the news was welcomed by so many, some complained that the show should have lasted a little longer so that viewers could spend longer with the islanders.

One wrote: "So glad Ekin-Su & Davide won but what was up with that anticlimactic ending? Winners announced then boom, over.

"I wanted to enjoy it more-see Luca squirm, cash split/steal & a final interview! We were robbed of all that just so they could do that stupid celeb montage!"

Ekin-Su and Davide's love story was far from a simple one, and the pair got together before Ekin-Su's head turned for newcomer Jay.

This resulted in hilarious scenes of Ekin-Su and Davide sneaking around together on the terrace before Davide called her a 'liar and an actress' - resulting in a lot of memes.

But they managed to find their way back to each other and by the end of the show admitted that they were in love!
