Hey everyone!
This is the final blog post for Love Island 2021, with a summary of what happened on Sunday 22nd August and Monday 23rd August 2021.
Sunday 22nd August
Faye said to Kaz that as Liberty's best friend, she should put on the bracelet that she left in the villa, to keep her memory there. Faye then asked 'what's a Jake & liberty thing to do?' and then all of the Islanders jumped into the pool. Chloe explained to Toby that she felt very sorry for Liberty, and then it was Toby & Chloe's turn to go on their final date, with the hashtags 'Chloe in wonderland' and 'is it T you're looking for?'. Chloe explained that she was going to 'pop her date cherry' and they walked through the woods which was filled with memories and pictures of them throughout their time in the villa so far. Toby opened a bottle of champagne and explained that it caught him off guard as it squirted everywhere. Toby did a cheers to their first date outside of the villa and Chloe said 'cheers to future dates you're paying for'. Chloe explained to Toby that she did regret choosing Aaron at the beginning and wish she would have picked Toby, and Toby reflected on the fact that they didn't speak about their feelings before, it was all just snogging, and now they're both open with eachother about how they feel.
After Toby & Chloe got back from their date, Tyler explained to Toby that he had changed, and the next morning when the Islanders woke up, Tyler heard Liam laughing in his sleep, Kaz was shocked that Tyler didn't put the toilet seat down, and Millie dropped lots of food after opening the fridge. Millie then received a text which she was instantly shocked by, seeing a picture of Liam's mum and dad and her mother and sister. She said 'they're outside the front of this villa!' and due to the coronavirus pandemic that is still ongoing, there had to be social distancing between the Islanders and their families. Tyler and Toby agreed that his dad seemed really friendly and Millie's family members said that Liam seems like a 'genuinely nice boy'. Millie explained that 'no matter what happens, we have to make time for eachother'. Up next was Faye's sister and best friend along with 2 of Teddy's brothers. Faye's sister admitted that her mum and dad are so proud of her, adding that she's been the unfiltered, loving version of herself. Teddy's brothers said that they had been on a rollercoaster journey with him, and it felt like they were watching Arsenal...but teddy 'scored more goals'. Teddy asked what his brothers thought of Faye and they said that she's funny and she's got the chat. Faye asked her family members what they thought of Teddy, and they said that it's like 'the calm with the storm' and they known trhat they enjoy being in eachother's company. During the chat, Faye's sister managed to make Teddy cry after complimenting how nice of a person he is, and Faye said 'you can't make him cry, but my sister did' and Teddy said 'I needed that' after meeting some of Faye's family.
The third meeting was Tyler's mum and dad and Kaz's mum and sister and Tyler explained to his parents that this was the most time he had been away from home. Kaz's family said that Tyler doesn't take himself too seriously, which she replied to with 'when I'm around him, I feel comfortable'. The final family visit was Toby's mother and sister and Chloe's mother and sister. Chloe asked 'what are you doing here?' and they spoke to their families about the rollercoaster journeys that they had both been on. Toby's mum explained that she had missed him so much and Toby began crying, saying that 'I don't know what's happening to me'. Chloe's mum said that she knew Chloe would take Toby back straightaway, but when they were both in the hideaway and the chocolate came out, she turned away from the screen. Chloe explained that Toby had never had a girlfriend before, and Toby's mum said that 'you've changed him already'. Chloe did a cheers to the family and friends that they were able to see, and also to the family that they have in the villa. They received a text stating that all 4 couples had made the Love Island 2021 final, and only one of them would be victorious!
Monday 23rd August
On the final day of Love Island 2021, Toby's morning message was 'morning guys, last morning in the villa' and the boys went off to make the girls their final drinks. Millie explained to Kaz, Faye and Chloe that 'if you think about it, we actually have them whipped'. The Islanders had to prepare for the Love Island 2021 Summerball with the hashtags 'salsasesh' and 'savethelastdance'. Faye explained that she might tell Teddy to dance with a cardboard cut out of herself as she can't dance and whilst Teddy was trying to take the salsa lesson seriously, Faye was giggling and Millie was shouting at Liam for getting the moves wrong. The girls received a text that they would be having some R&R time (rest and relaxation) with the hashtag 'spababes' giving it away that they were going on a spa date, and they all began chanting 'we're going on a spa date!' Whilst the girls were away on their little trip with free cosmetics and drinks, they were beginning to write their declarations of love for the ceremony later that evening. Tyler explained to the boys that he's 'never gonna get this moment again, got to make it special'. Kaz asked Chloe whether she was ready to express her feelings for Toby, who explained to the boys that it's been a journey...but 'no risk no reward'.
For Liam & Millie's speeches, they spoke about spending 7 weeks together and Liam highlighted the fact that Millie was 'Millie Moody' during the Casa Amor situation. He explained that they were like 2 magnets drawn to eachother and that he wanted to 'bring the Essex girl to Wales'. Up next was Teddy & Faye with Faye opening her speech with an aplogy to Teddy; 'sorry you had to deal with someone so insecure' and Teddy's reply speech was described Faye as being fiery, strong, stunning and somebody who cares for others, which is what he was looking for in a partner. Kaz explained to Tyler that her journey started when he walked into the villa and Tyler explained that they 'strayed from our path, but we got through that'. Finally, Toby & Chloe's speeches began with Chloe explaining that she felt like she was going to be sick. She said that they have an 'amazing connection' and they had been on a 'slightly turbulent journey' but she was happier with how everything happened. Toby explained that he finally found someone with a weirder sense of humour than himself and added that he's not the best with words, but for Chloe, he was willing to try, and asked her to be his girlfriend, to which she said 'Yes!'.
The next part of the show saw the host, Laura Whitmore, speaking to each of the 4 couples about their times in the villa. With Toby & Chloe, it was highlighted that this was Toby's first proper relationship and Chloe said that Toby had treated him better than any other guy she had been with. Teddy & Faye highlighted the massive argument between them in the villa, but are glad that they have gone through that. Tyler & Kaz highlighted their Casa Amor drama and Tyler explained that he was like a 'Knight in shining armour' when he walked into the villa, and knew exactly what he wanted. Finally, Liam & Millie also discussed their Casa Amor drama, but Liam managed to make it upto Millie with all the grovelling he did to win her back! We found out that the couple who had placed 4th were Tyler & Kaz and during their interview with Laura, Kaz remembered being coupled with with Toby but added that she was happy for him to get to know other girls. Tyler explained that he wanted to do a rom-com styled scene for Kaz, and they both agreed that they would be taking their relationship at their own pace, with Tyler adding that he wants his next relationship to be his last one. After the adverts, Teddy & Faye were revealed as placing 3rd in the competition and also had their chat with Laura. Faye said that she 'didn't even expect to get this far' and that it was down to Teddy that they got into the final. Faye spoke about the Casa Amor drama and the Mad Movies challenge, to which she said that she could have dealt with differently, and finished the interview saying 'Teddy's gonna get a pair of wellies and I'm going to leave Devon!
Laura had a chat with Toby & Chloe, and Chloe instantly admitted that she also thought Toby was fit, but he was very young. She also explained that she was really hurt but had to keep on a poker face when Toby began chatting to some of the other girls, but was happy when he chose her. During Liam & Millie's chat, they discussed Liam being a bombshell with dumped Islander Chuggs and that he was instantly coupled up with Faye, but realised that they were only going to be in a friendship and the Casa Amor situation with Millie. Liam explained that he 'knew what I wanted, and I wasn't going to stop until I got it'.
Laura revealed that the couple who placed 2nd were Toby & Chloe, which meant Liam & Millie were the winners of the Love Island 2021 show. They each had an envelope in-front of them and Millie was asked to pick either the red or black heart, to which she chose red and she had received the £50,000 cash prize with Liam opening an envelope with £0. She decided to split the money with Liam by shouting the word 'love' rather than 'split or steal', but either way, they split the money equally and they were definitely worthy winners of the show!
