Sean Fitzgerald is the current favourite to win Love Island 2026, priced at 5/2 with William Hill, followed by Lola Deal leading the women’s market at 9/4.
Series 13 is already delivering everything you’d want from a summer in the villa and then some. Casa Amor has just blown through like a Category 5 hurricane; at least two relationships are in pieces, one Islander is reportedly “livid,” another has broken down in tears, and the recoupling happening tonight on ITV2 is being described by producers as the most dramatic of the series so far. If you’re trying to work out who’s going to be standing at that final fire pit with £50,000 in their hands, let’s check out Love Island 2026 winner predictions and tell us who’s your favourite too.
- Love Island 2026 Series 13 launched on 1st June 2026 on ITV2 and ITVX, hosted by Maya Jama, with Iain Stirling returning as narrator
- Sean Fitzgerald, a 25-year-old Irish primary school teacher from Galway, is the current Odds favourite at 5/2 with William Hill
- Lola Deal leads the women’s market at 9/4, with Jasmine Müller, Ellie Chadwick, and Priya close behind
- Casa Amor caused serious damage to at least two couples: Kavan and Jasmine, and Simba and Angelista
- Kavan Murphy kissed Casa Amor bombshell Charleen, leaving Jasmine devastated
- Simba did not stay loyal in Casa Amor and recoupled with Mara Pirez, ending things with Angelista

Where the Odds Stands
Sean is the man everyone keeps coming back to. The 25-year-old primary school teacher from Galway, who plays Gaelic football in his spare time, has been a public favourite since early in the series and currently leads the men’s market at 5/2 with William Hill. There’s something about a well-mannered Irish lad on Love Island that the British public consistently votes for, and Sean has the added intrigue of a complication coming out of Casa Amor that viewers are now invested in seeing resolved.
Aidan Murphy was installed as joint early favourite before the series began at 4/1 and currently sits at 5/1, with his brother Kavan Murphy close behind, also at 5/1. The introduction of Kavan as a bombshell was one of the more creative casting decisions the show has made in years, and the family dynamic has been a consistent source of conversation in the villa.
On the women’s side, Lola Deal leads at 9/4, with Ellie Chadwick close behind at 4/1. Jasmine Müller sits at 5/1, having taken a hit in the market following Kavan’s Casa Amor kiss.

What Casa Amor Did to the Villa
The Casa Amor fallout is still rippling through the main villa. Kavan Murphy, the 21-year-old electrician from Kent who entered as Aidan’s younger brother, was seen kissing Casa Amor bombshell Charleen Murphy. It was enough to leave Jasmine, his partner, in pieces. Following the recoupling, Kavan chose to bring Charleen back into the main villa, ending his connection with Jasmine.
Jasmine has been one of the more popular Islanders with viewers this series, the 27-year-old Dubai fashion entrepreneur bringing a level of confidence and self-awareness to the villa that didn’t survive Casa Amor unscathed.
Simba’s situation was arguably the more emotionally loaded one. The semi-professional footballer did not stay loyal in Casa Amor, ultimately recoupling with newcomer Mara Pirez and ending things with Angelista Gunda, despite Angelista choosing to remain loyal to him. Angelista, one of the early fan favourites on the female side, was visibly shaken by the outcome.
Who Has the Best Shot at Winning
Sean and Lola represent the most stable partnership from a Odds perspective, having remained loyal to each other through Casa Amor as the villa’s only closed-off couple. Sean’s pre-Casa Amor standing was strong, Lola’s popularity with viewers has been consistent, and a couple that comes through the villa’s biggest test together almost always benefits from a public sympathy vote.
Aidan is the wildcard. The fact that his brother entered and created chaos around him gives him a storyline nobody else in the villa has, and Love Island winners often have the most compelling journey rather than the smoothest one.
Ellie Chadwick and Finley Maddock, who also remained loyal to each other through Casa Amor, are another couple worth watching — the Scottish videographer has resonated strongly with viewers this series.
Lorenzo Alessi, the 28-year-old business owner from Hertfordshire sitting at 5/1, has been steadier than some of the flashier names and tends to come up in conversations about who viewers actually like versus who makes the best TV.
Tonight’s recoupling will change everything. It always does.
