Molly Smith and Tom Clare were crowned the winner of Love Island All Stars on Monday night in the final.
The pair scraped their Love Island All Stars win, according to new reports.
New voting percentages reveal her ex Callum Jones and his partner Jess Gale closely missed out on the win during the grand finale by two percent.
Molly and Tom took home the £50,000 prize after receiving 35 percent of the public vote, according to The Sun.
Molly’s former beau Callum and his partner Jess received just below at 33 per cent while Sophie Piper and Joshua Ritchie, who placed third, got 15 per cent of viewer votes.
Georgia Steel and Toby Aromolaran were backed by 10 per cent, leaving Georgia Harrison and Anton Danyluk last place with only seven percent of votes.
After Molly and Tom were declared the winners, Tom told host Maya Jama ‘my mind’s blown’, while Molly was visibly shaking as she shouted ‘what the hell’.
Speaking ahead of the final result, Molly admitted the Love Island experience has ‘forced’ her to be friends with her ex Callum.
Sat alongside Hannah Elizabeth he said: ‘Well I’ve been trying to run back to my ex!’, as Hannah interrupted ‘The Blackpool one!?’
She also said she was ‘grateful’ they’ve had the chance to gain closure on things, but insisted that there would be no ‘fairytale ending’ for them both.
Talking about navigating romance within the villa with her ex there, Molly said: ‘I think obviously from the outside looking in, people won’t understand.
‘We’re in an intense environment and you’ve got to get along so it kind of forced us to be friends.
‘We probably wouldn’t be at this stage on the outside, it probably would have just been a bit awkward, but I feel like it’s got us to a place that we never would have gotten to, and I’m actually grateful for that.’
LOVE ISLAND ALL STARS: MEET THE CAST
Georgia Harrison
AGE: 29
SERIES: 3
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? This is the last year of my 20s so I want to go in the Villa and have some fun and hopefully meet someone that I can fall in love with. I’m lucky in the sense that I’ve got everything in my life that I could possibly wish for, apart from love.
If you had to pick your top Islanders from Series 1 to 10 to couple up with who would they be and why? Chris Taylor, he’s hilarious and the main thing I’m attracted to is a man who can make me laugh. What a fun guy and like I said, I’m looking for someone to TikTok with so I reckon he’d be game for that sort of stuff!
Georgia Steel
AGE: 25
SERIES: 4
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m 25, I have a house, a cat, a nice car – I have everything in life but a boyfriend, so why not give it as go.
You’ve been brave and honest in opening up about being conned by a former partner. How has this experience impacted the way in which you now approach dating?
I take that experience as a really positive reflection now. I look at it as something I had to go through to make me stronger and learn things in life for me to be able to learn what I want in my next partner.
Molly Smith
AGE: 29

Why are you returning to the Villa?
I found love last time, so I am back and ready to give it another go.

Last time I did exactly what I wanted and got the girl that I wanted, so no I wouldn’t do anything different.
Why do you think the Villa is the perfect place to find love?
When you’re with someone 24/7 you really get to know them. It can be such an alien environment, so you really get to know someone in a short space of time. It’s Love Island – it’s the best place!

Anton Danyluk
AGE: 29
SERIES: 5
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? For me it was a no brainer. I got the call and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and probably the best summer I have ever had in my life. Getting the chance to do it twice is going to be unbelievable.
Why do you think the Love Island Villa is the perfect place to find love?
I think this time with Love Island: All Stars, things will be different, as we all understand what it’s like to go on Love Island and the only thing now missing is finding a partner.

Why are you returning to the famous Love Island Villa?
I had a fun experience the first time around but I didn’t go the full way and find love, so I’d love to find someone this time.
What will you do differently this time round?
I’m quite chilled and don’t want drama, so I think I will approach this time round in a similar way. I’m a one guy kind of girl.
Why do you think the Villa is the perfect place to find love?
It’s a once in a lifetime experience and not something that comes up every day.
