Love Island theory of how you can tell who will win the show has been correct SEVEN times

Sammy and Jess have been crowned the winners of Love Island 2023, and while everyone is split with the decision, many people are happy with the outcome.

Their fate was sealed when viewers noticed the pair were stood to the left of Maya Jama, proving an old theory correct of who would win the show. While the last two seasons the winners have been to the right of the presenter, Love Island went back to its old way during last night’s final.

The well-known Love Island theory is that whoever wins the show is stood on a particular side of the host, often the left side.

The theory goes back all the way to season one, with Jess Hayes and Max Morley kicking it off. The only other years the theory was incorrect was during 2019 when Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea won and were stood on the right of Caroline Flack, when Ekin-Su and Davide won and when Kai and Sanam won.

Still not convinced? Here is every time the winners of Love Island were on the left side of the host before they were crowned the champions:

Jess Harding and Sammy Root

During the latest Love Island final, Jess and Sammy were crowned the winners of Love Island and you guessed it, they were stood to the left side of Maya Jama.

Millie Court and Liam Reardon

Season seven winners Millie and Liam won the show in 2021 and were stood on Laura Whitmore’s left during the live final, proving the fan theory to be correct.

Paige Turley and Finley Tapp

The winter series of Love Island saw Paige and Finn win the show and yes, they were stood to Laura’s left.

Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham

Skipping the fifth series and going straight to season four, Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham were crowned the winners back in 2018. The two were both stood to the left of Caroline Flack.

Amber Davies and Kem Cetinay

Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey

Throwing it all the way back to the old villa days, in 2016 both Cara and Nathan won the series after becoming fan favourites. When Caroline Flack called out their names, they were both stood to the left of her.
