If you rewind your minds back a month or so, Love Island 2019 contestants Michael Griffiths and Amber Gill were one of the strongest couples on series five... That was until Casa Amor happened and Michael's head was turned by Joanna Chimonides.

After dumping Amber, the Geordie girl was left heartbroken, until Irish hunk Greg O'Shea arrived with just two weeks left of the show, sweeping her off her feet!

Although Michael tried his best to win Amber back when Joanna was dumped, Amber followed her heart and coupled up with Greg, and during last night's (Monday 29th July) final, the pair were crowned the 2019 winners of Love Island.

Of course, Michael was dumped from the villa last week, and was back in the UK watching the final like the rest of us.

Filming himself on his Instagram Story at a Love Island event in Brighton, alongside 2018 Islander Josh Denzel, Michael's reaction was somewhat strange, with the fireman looking in shock.

Speaking to the camera, Michael said, “I did not expect that,” before shouting, "ratings, ratings, ratings."

Despite this, Michael appeared on today's (Tuesday 30 July) episode of Lorraine, where host Christine Lampard asked how he's feeling about Amber's victory.

He said, "I was actually so happy for her, just to see that smile on her face. It was unbelievable, I'm so happy for her. They did not expect it, Amber's been on such a journey, it's great."

He later added, "She did deserve that, she's been on such an amazing journey and Greg's such a lovely guy, a genuinely lovely guy."

Despite only being a couple for two weeks, Amber and Greg were crowned the winners of the 2019 series, with Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, Maura Higgins and Curtis Pritchard, and India Reynolds and Ovie Soko also making it to the final.

TOMMY STOLE LUCIE FROM JOE

After surfer girl Lucie coupled up with Joe on the first episode of the series, things seemed to get off to a good start... before Tommy entered hours later.


Tommy chose to couple up with Lucie, stealing her from poor Joe. He said in the Beach Hut, "At the moment the girl I want to pursue is going to be Lucie. She's a surfer, she goes to the gym. Her body is banging. She has beautiful eyes, a beautiful face, beautiful everything."
