The latest season of the hit reality dating show has come to a close, with one pair emerging as the fan favorites. After weeks of romance, rivalry, and emotional twists, the winning duo was revealed in a live finale that kept viewers on the edge of their seats.
Toni Laites and Cach Mercer took home the grand prize, securing both the title and a £50,000 cash reward. Their victory came after a season packed with dramatic moments, including a brief split that left fans questioning their future. The runners-up, Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley, followed closely behind, while Yasmin Pettet and Jamie Rhodes rounded out the top three.
Toni made history as the first American contestant to join the UK version of the show, adding an international flair to the villa. Her emotional reaction to the win—shouting her gratitude to British viewers—was met with cheers from supporters.
Devoted fans of the series shared their excitement over the outcome. “This was the perfect ending,” one viewer remarked. “Seeing them overcome their struggles made their win even sweeter.” Another praised the show for showcasing vulnerability, particularly from male contestants, which resonated with audiences.
The season wasn’t without its heartbreaks, however. Another couple, Dejon Noel-Williams and Meg Moore, were shockingly eliminated just before the final after fellow contestants voted them as the least compatible pair.
This year’s installment has seen a surge in popularity, with streaming numbers and social media engagement hitting new highs. The franchise’s momentum shows no signs of slowing, with plans already announced for another All Stars edition set to film in South Africa early next year.
As the villa doors close on another season, fans are already speculating about what—and who—might come next.
