If like us you've lived and breathed every single episode of Love Island throughout the most of June and July, you're going to be pretty gutted that the show of the summer is over.

Love Island may have ended, but it certainly didn't go out without an almighty party!

First we saw Gabby and Marcel dumped as they came in fourth place, followed by on/off and then on again couple Chris and Olivia in third. After a look back at the highlights and best bits it was time for the all important reveal, who would win? Tensions were high as we watched the final two couples line-up and eagerly await the announcement from show host Caroline Flack.

After nearly two months of countless break-ups and make-ups, on-screen sex and falling 'in love', Kem and Amber were crowned the winning couple. However it was very shaky as there were two envelopes, one with £50,000 in and one with nothing. Amber was the one with £0 which meant it was left to Kem to decide if to split or steal. Luckily for Amber it was true love and he chose to split the money. YAY!

Here's a look back at the final couples' journeys throughout the show:

WINNERS: Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies

Essex boy Kem and Welsh girl Amber coupled up right from the start but Amber seemed to claim every boy in the villa was '100% her type on paper'. However things have ended REALLY WELL for the couple.

After calling Amber 'the girl of my dreams' and giving her an infinity bracelet, viewers felt Amber was playing Kem.

Kem then told his fellow Islander Dom that he felt Amber was 'putting him down' and making him not enjoy his experience. However the hairdresser soon got out of that rough patch and pulled off one of the most romantic moments on Love Island to date with his plan to ask Amber to be his official girlfriend.

With the help of his fellow Islanders, Kem used texts on their phones to get Amber to go to the locations where they'd had some of their cutest moments, before arriving in the garden and asking the big question.

Amber then passed all of her questions with flying colours in the lie detector test, but the couple did fail the baby sitting task...

2nd: Jamie Jewitt and Camilla Thurlow

Posh girl Camilla entered the villa with high expectations having previously dated the one and only Prince Harry. After thinking she'd found 'the one' with Jonny and finally lifting up her guard, the nation fell in love with Camilla after her heart was broken by Jonny.

Things then seemed to look up for Camilla when new boy Craig Lawson entered the villa, only for him to be a little bit too obsessive and be dumped just a few days later.

Just when Camilla started to lose all hope at finding love on the show, in comes Calvin Klein model Jamie Jewitt to sweep Camilla off her feet. Since Jamie's arrival the pair have enjoyed a serious romance involving a number of romantic dates, a night in the hideaway and have barely argued during their time together.

The pair even got through the dreaded lie detector test despite Camilla failing on a number of questions, including 'do you think yourself and Jamie are compatible'. Viewers were left heartbroken when Camilla broke down telling Jamie she failed the question as she doesn't think she's good enough for someone like him.

Being a total gentleman, Jamie reassured Camilla and the pair have looked strong ever since. They even had a super romantic dance La La Land style on their final date.

3rd: Chris Hughes and Olivia Attwood

Ahhh Chris and Olivia, what a whirlwind romance they've endured! They've been on and off more times than the garden light bulbs but they've certainly come out of the show loved up.

Everything looked to be going smoothly for the pair until Mike Thalassitis (AKA Muggy Mike) entered the villa. When Olivia couldn't resist temptation to give Mike a go, viewers seemed to turn on the Surrey girl and fell in love with Chris.

Despite the Mike 1.0 drama, Olivia re-coupled with Chris meaning Mike was dumped from the villa, only for him to return a few weeks later. With Olivia and Chris constantly arguing, Mike 2.0 drama commenced, when he revealed he was out to get revenge with Olivia.

When the re-coupling happened, Olivia decided to stick with her heart and chose to couple up with Chris yet again. The pair were on/off again until things kicked off when Olivia felt Chris wasn't being supportive, leading them to go on an official 'break'.

This lasted about two days and then the lie detector arrived! With Olivia admitting she loved him, the 26-year-old had yet another argument with Chris because she felt his questions were unfair.

Just days before the final, Chris and Olivia played happy families when they were given a fake baby to look after. Naming him Cash Hughes, the pair sailed through parenting and declared their love for each other yet again when they enjoyed their final date on a super yacht.

4th: Marcel Sommerville and Gabby Allen

When Marcel finished telling anybody that would listen that he was part of Blazin' Squad back in the day, he coupled up with personal trainer Gabby, and the pair have been coupled ever since.

Like most couples in the final, Marcel and Gabby certainly didn't have an easy ride. Viewers of the show were convinced throughout that Gabby was using Marcel in an attempt to win the show because she knew how popular he was with viewers.

Things then took a turn for the worst when Gabby failed her questions in the lie detector test, including 'do you love Marcel?'. Breaking down to the rapper and admitting she said no because she had been planning on telling him properly, Gabby, with the help of the other girls, showed her commitment to her man.

With Marcel telling Gabby he'd always believe her words over the lie detector, the pair got through their awkward spell and went into the final seemingly loved up.
