Love Island fans delighted as Sanam lets slip sweet confession in live final

As if Love Island winners Kai and Sanam couldn't be any more adorable, the social worker let slip that she loved the teacher for the first time during their chat with Maya Jama.

Before they were crowned winners, beating Ron and Lana, Kai and Sanam sat down for a chat with Maya about their journey.

The pair met when the original girls went to Casa Amor and Kai was coupled up with Olivia, but he quickly fell for Sanam.

Maya asked Sanam what it was about Kai that drew her in, with the TV star replying: "Apart from the looks, I just like, fell in lo..."

Sanam stopped herself and put her hand over her mouth, cuddling into Kai as she realised she had admitted to loving Kai for the first time on live TV.

A second penned: "Guys wtf when Sanam almost slipped I love- out I had tears in my eyes!!"

A third wrote: "Sanam's laugh is adorable when she dropped the L bomb omg, I'm in love with them."

In the last moments of the show, Kai and Sanam were crowned winners, with Ron and Lana placing second, Tom and Samie third and Shaq and Tanya fourth.

During the sweet declarations, the teacher and social worker spoke of their "dream" time together so far.

"You charmed me with your smile and melted me with your warm brown eyes. I was hooked by your intelligence, values, kindness and you always manage to make me laugh. You’ve made me realise my worth and I can’t wait for us to one day be official," Sanam said.

During the pair's chat with Maya, it was impossible to ignore Kai's coupling with Michelle Keegan body double Olivia.

However, the pair didn't hide their feelings when Olivia's name was mentioned by Maya as they both pulled awkward faces.

Maya was quick to pull the pair up as she said: "Don't do that face!"

Viewers soon reacted to the dig on Twitter as one wrote: "KAI’S FACE HES SICK OF HEARING THAT NAME HAHAHA #loveisland".

"not maya saying to kai “don’t pull that face” when she said about Olivia," another noticed.

And a third wrote: "Kai's face when maya mentioned olivia #loveisland".

And a fourth said: "“you were coupled up with olivia- kai don’t do that face” I LOVE THIS MAN #loveisland".
