Jess Harding and Sammy Root are over the moon after being crowned the winners of Love Island 2023 - but say they’re not rushing to move in together.The couple beat out runners up Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki in a nail biting live final - which saw host Maya Jama unable to play back their best bits back in an awkward tech gaffe.

Jess and Sammy are now looking forward to their future on the outside, and say winning feels “amazing.” “I feel like it was a close call and everyone did so well,” Jess said, before saying that she's feeling both "happy" and "overwhelmed." “When we were stood up there we looked at everyone and thought they were all worthy to win.

It was hard to work it out. When our names were called it was a shock to the system, but a nice shock,” Sammy added. “It’s been a very very long journey and I’ve enjoyed every step of the way, the best two months of my life.

It’s exciting for us to crack on on the outside.” The couple also said they had an instant connection when Sammy entered the villa as a bombshell and picked Jess as one of his first three dates. “We said the whole time there was an instant spark there on the hot tub date,” Sammy says, while Jess explains that she just knew there was an “instant connection” between the pair.
