This is how popular each Love Island 2023 finalist is, based on their Instagram followers

The Love Island final is right around the corner and like every year, viewers are desperately counting down the hours until the new winners of the show are crowned. This season has been a season like no other, there has been drama, love and a lot more drama than anyone could think of and now it’s down to one final vote.

The winners are crowned based on how many votes they get from the public, which is often down to how popular each couple is with the public. This final couldn’t be more of a close call, whether the public has rallied behind one couple or just one person, there is just no saying who could win the show this year.

But if we take a look at popularity of each contestant based on how popular they are on social media, it could give a good idea as to who could take that £50,000 home. So, here’s a look at just how popular each Love Island finalist is based on how many Instagram followers they have.

Lochan

Followers: 20,900

Lochan entered the villa as a Casa Amor bombshell and they often take a while to catch up to the OG Islanders when it comes to Instagram followers. He currently has 20,900 followers on Instagram, so maybe this Love Island contestant isn’t all that popular as you may think.

Sammy

Followers: 69,700

Sammy is in second to last place when it comes to popularity amongst Love Island viewers with 69,700 followers. Given how far ahead Jess is in followers, a few joint posts will do him a world of good in boosting his follower count.

Zachariah

Followers: 127,000

Zachariah has recently hit the six figure mark on Instagram, with 127,000 followers on Instagram. He is currently in a couple with Molly who is arguably the most popular contestant on this year’s Love Island given how many Instagram followers she has.

Whitney

Followers: 220,000

Whitney kicks off the over 200k club with 220,000 followers on Instagram. While she has only got nine posts on her feed, that’ll no doubt grow as she steps out of the villa and sees how loved she is by the public.

Tyrique

Followers: 246,000

Tyrique currently has 246,000 followers on Instagram, a fair few thousand away from his girlfriend Ella. Ella and Tyrique recently made it official and became boyfriend and girlfriend on their final date.

Jess

Followers: 260,000

Jess has amassed an impressive 260,000 followers on Instagram and given how loved she is each episode by the public, it makes sense she’s been rewarded in thousands of followers. Love that for her x

Ella

Followers: 300,000

Ella is slowly creeping up to Molly with 300,000 followers on Instagram. While she did start with a few thousand before she entered the villa, this follower count just goes to show how popular she is amongst Love Island viewers.

Molly

Followers: 349,000

Molly is the most followed Love Island 2023 contestant with just under 350,000 followers. Molly was already fairly popular on Instagram prior to appearing on the show, so there is no doubt she has grown we fan based even further.

Follower counts were correct at the time of publishing.
