One contains the £50,000 prize money while the other its empty and it’s up to the person who received the money to choose whether they share it with their partner or pocket the cash themselves. So far no-one has been tempted to keep all the cash.
Last year Millie Court and Liam Reardon won and Millie shared the money with then-boyfriend Liam. They have since broken up and enjoyed a year-long relationship before parting ways amicably.
This year fans of the ITV2 dating show have been expecting drama at the final. So they were crushed when Laura Whitmore made an announcement at the start of the show.
Just moments into the final she said about the £50,000 cash prize: "And his year we're not even asking them to choose between love or money." Viewers were fuming at the idea of the popular nail-biting moment being dropped from the show.
@SherinaG01 raged: "OMG NO LOVE OR MONEY?????? Guys we have been SCAMMED. This was the year aswell." @slackjawsally fumed: "So if Gemma wins she can’t f*** over Luca and steal the money. I feel cheated."
@MsMisery4 asked: "Why isn’t love or money an option this year? Love Island producers scared someone would just run with the money." @Louise_D1492 tweeted: "#loveisland no love or money choice… come on! Massively disappointed, first season to have proper potential for a steal."
@elvacarri complained: "Not asking them to choose between love or money? What the hell was the poooinnnnntt eughhhhhh. I watch this show in the hope that one day I would see someone choose the money and have fooled us all."
@amygaytaylor said: "Love or money is the best bit wtf do you mean." And @fairysdream7 shouted: "WDYM THEYRE NOT MAKING THEM CHOOSE BETWEEN LOVE AND MONEY I WANTED INDIYAH OR EKIN TO STEAL???"
