Love Island fan theory that ‘predicts’ who wins the show – and it’s been right SEVEN times
LOVE Island fans have a theory that has correctly predicted who will win seven times.
Viewers looked back at previous champions and predicted that the couple who stands to the left of the presenter during the big reveal will be crowned the winners.
Last year was no different, as Sammy Root and Jess Harding won the £50,000 jackpot after being assigned the lucky spot.
The theory even worked for the first winter series of the show in 2021, when Finley Tapp and Paige Turley won the £50,000 prize by standing to the left of new host Laura.
In previous years Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Davide Sanclimenti Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham, Amber Davies and Kem Cetinay, Cara De La Hoyde and Nathan Massey and Jess Hayes and Max Morley were all placed in the same position in front of the studio audience before being announced as the winners.
The only year it wasn't correct was in 2019, when Amber Gill and Greg O'Shea stunned the nation by winning after only 12 days of dating.

During a live final on Monday, All Stars couples will compete to be crowned winners.
The Sun understands that the couple were gutted to come so close to the end but to be sent packing before the last day.
An insider revealed: "Bosses often like to reserve one last twist before the final and, true to form, they saved one last brutal elimination for the last weekend of the series.
"There were lots of tears shed as the pair said goodbye to their fellow villa residents. Even though they will all be reunited again on Monday night for the final, they've all grown so close and noone wants to leave at this stage, especially so close to the end."
In the past, other couples have had to go home after getting pipped to a spot in the final.
At this stage, the remaining All Stars couples on the show are Georgia Harrison and Anton Danyluk, Molly Smith and Tom Clare, Georgia Steel and Toby Aromolaran, Callum Jones and Jess Gale, Arabella Chi and Adam Maxted and Sophie Piper and Joshua Ritchie.
Monday's final will not only see a winning couple crowned, but all the dumped All Stars will return to the villa for the swansong.
The Sun exclusively revealed that for the first time in Love Island's history, all 13 axed stars will join the remaining cast members for Monday's live episode.
The stars have this week flown back out to Cape Town where they'll join host Maya Jama to find out who will be named the All Stars champions.
Among those returning include Jake Cornish who quit the villa just days after the series launched.
Love Island continues on ITV 2 on Sunday at 9pm
