Here’s a guide to the cast of Love Island season 3, along with which couple were crowned the winners of the show. British reality dating show Love Island aired its first season in 2015 and quickly staked its place as one of the raunchiest, most drama-filled shows in reality TV. The show sees a gaggle of single Brits – referred to as “Islanders” – come together to find love while staying in a luxurious villa on the Spanish Balearic island of Mallorca. There, the singletons must couple up with each other and avoid finding themselves single which leaves them vulnerable to being voted off the island.
Love Island season 3 aired in 2017 and introduced a brand-new twist in the form of a second villa that brought with it eleven new cast members competing for their place on the show. Season 3 was also the first to have two Islanders – Mike Thalassitis and Sam Gowland – return after being dumped but voted back in by a public poll.
A total of 32 contestants took part in Love Island’s third season and were whittled down over the course of 52 days until just one couple remained. Here’s recap of all the Love Island season 3 cast members in order of their elimination from the show through to the eventual winners.

By the time the Love Island season 3 finale came around just four couples remained with Gabby and Marcel, Olivia and Chris and Camilla and Jamie finishing fourth, third and second respectively. The winning Love Island cast members were Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies but in one final twist, it was revealed Kem had won the £50,000 cash prize and that Amber wasn’t entitled to a penny. Luckily for Amber, however, Kem decided to share the money and they both took home a cool £25,000 each.
Unfortunately for Kem and Amber, their relationship didn’t last very long and the couple announced their break up in December 2017. Though Kem didn’t find a lasting relationship through Love Island he did form a pretty sturdy bromance with second runner-up Chris Hughes. They even released a single together titled “Little Bit Leave It” which made it to #15 in the UK Singles Chart. Other Love Island season 3 cast members found post-show work too with Montana Brown going on to feature in Celebrity Island With Bear Grylls and both Georgia Harrison and Theo Campbell competing on MTV’s The Challenge: War Of The Worlds.
