Love Island: Meet 2019 winner Amber Gill
She's won the show!
Last updated 5th Aug 2019
She had her heartbroken by Michael Griffiths, but Geordie girl Amber Gill has been left smitten by Irish hunk Greg O'Shea in the Love Island villa.
As Amber and Greg were crowned the winners of Love Island 2019, find out everything you need to know about Amber below:
Where did Amber Gill finish on Love Island?
Amber was crowned the winner of Love Island 2019 alongside Greg O'Shea.
Who is Amber Gill?
Amber Rose Gill is a beauty therapist who describes herself as being "funny, sassy and kind and like to include everyone." She also said that she likes to make friends with everybody - so we'll see how long that lasts in the villa if she has to contend for a love interest! She also revealed that she "can be hot-headed, loud and some people don’t appreciate that, and quite opinionated."
Revealing what makes her the perfect Love Islander, Amber said, "I’ve got a big personality and I get on with people really well. People think I’m funny. I don’t take myself too seriously and I’m always up for a laugh. I’ll be good on challenges and dates."
When asked about her thoughts on her looks, Amber said, "You have to say ten because you have to back yourself! You’ve got to love yourself. What’s the point if you don’t? I would say ten, but not in a cocky way. I get complimented on my hair all the time."
Are Amber and Greg in a relationship?
Yes! The Love Island 2019 winners confirmed they are official to Caroline Flack during the official reunion show, with Amber even suggesting she would like to move to Ireland with Greg!
How old is Amber Gill?
She is currently 21-years-old.
Where is Amber Gill from?
Amber Gill is from Newcastle, and knows the likes of Ellie Brown and Adam Collard from 2018's series because "everyone knows everyone in Newcastle!"
Who did Amber couple up with on Love Island?
On Thursday 11th July, Amber Gill chose to couple up with basketball player Ovie Soko. After getting her heart broken by Michael Griffiths, Amber coupled with Ovie 'as friends', but fans of the show are shipping their romance, with many wanting the pair to WIN the show!
However, after new boy Greg O'Shea entered the villa, Amber had a smile put back on her face following her heartbreak over Michael. During the recoupling on Friday 19th July, Amber chose to couple up with Greg, instead of old-flame Michael.
What happened between Michael and Amber?
Despite showing his affections for Geordie girl Amber Gill, fire-fighter Michael Griffiths had his head turned when new girl Joanna Chimonides entered the villa during Casa Amor week.
After getting to know Joanna and realising he wasn't 'being himself' around Amber, Michael chose to recouple with Joanna during the dramatic recoupling, leaving poor old Amber single as she stayed loyal.
What's Amber Gill's type on paper?
Ahh, the question on every Love Island fan's lips. Amber revealed that she likes tall, muscly and athletic guys, and people that go to the gym as they'd have something in common. However, it's not all about the looks for Amber, as she said that she wants someone who is funny and "doesn't take themselves too seriously because I am daft."
She added, "Looking at my past relationships, I don’t really have a type, it’s quite broad. If someone catches my eye then I’ll go for them."
But she's not about to slide into anyone's DMs, "I would never reply to a DM on Instagram and I would never send one! I like to meet people through friends. Sometimes you meet nice people on nights out. I’m old fashioned, I wouldn’t do a dating app or anything like that."
It's not been completely plain sailing for Amber, who also confessed her most disastrous date, "I was speaking to this guy and he lived in Manchester and I got the train down to see him. I was nervous because he was really good looking and a bit older than me. I had five Cosmopolitans in a can and I drank them on the train.
"When the train got to Manchester I got up and I was drunk! He was waiting for me at the train station and when I got off I fell through the gap between the train and platform. What an icebreaker though! It was not awkward for one second after that! I think I styled it out."
Who is Amber Gill's celebrity crush?
We feel a LOT of people will relate to Amber here - she admitted that she loves Tom Hardy. Check out her reasons: "He’s just nice and he loves dogs as well and I love dogs. He takes his dog on the red carpet and I just love that so much."
Can't argue with that!
Has Amber Gill ever cheated?
Amber affirmed that she's never cheated on anyone, and doesn't "plan on having a wandering eye." Well, that's good to hear! But we'll reserve judgement till she's actually in the villa...
She added, "You’re dating someone and coupling up but if I have to go for someone else then I have to. I’d obviously tell the guy and explain I liked someone else. I’ve been cheated on several times. I’m not as naive as I was then, I’ve just learnt to be careful from it. Not everyone has your best interests at heart."
What about if she likes someone that another girl is after? "I would ask if it was alright with a girl first and then go for it with a guy. I wouldn’t do anything and tread on their toes, that’s not really my game. That’s not the type of thing I would do.
"If I was really good friends with someone, I wouldn’t go for the guy they were seeing. But girls that you just know, I would speak to the girl first about it and then go for it. Loyalty to your friends is important. Then you should still have some loyalty to girls that you’re not friends with, but not as much."
