The Love Island final will air tomorrow night, but viewers will have to wait and see if favourites Whitney and Lochan take home the £50,000 prize money
Love Island’s Whitney Adebayo could make history as the first black winner of the ITV dating show.
The 25-year-old, who entered the villa as a bombshell in the third episode, is currently coupled up with Lochan Nowacki, who she met in Casa Amor week. Since then the pair have taken their relationship to the next level with Lochan, also 25, asking Whitney to be exclusive.
And the pair seem to be favourites in and out of the villa as they have consistently been voted most compatible by fans and their fellow islanders. Viewers will have to wait until the nail-biting final on Monday July 31 to find out who will take this year’s Love Island crown â and the £50,000 prize money. But fans are already rooting for Whitney to win and took to social media to call for the public to make it a reality when they come to cast their all-important votes.
One wrote: “Guys, I know everybody doesn’t want to make this about race but I BEG LET’S MAKE WHITNEY THE FIRST BLACK WINNER OF OG LOVE ISLAND.” While another commented: “We might be witnessing history y’all… Whitney will be our first black winner.” A third said: “I can’t to wait to see our first black woman winner. I can’t wait to see Whitney win.” While a fourth added: “Guys Whitney is going to be our first black winner.”
