Winter Love Island came to a close last night as a winning couple was finally chosen, but the result proved controversial for many fans.

Paige and Finn were voted the champions of this year’s winter edition, beating out Siânnise and Luke T who had to settle for second place.

When the announcement was made, Twitter erupted with expressions of shock and disappointment from those who had been rooting for the runner-ups.

You’re telling me Luke T did a whole disney scavenger hunt to ask Siannese to be his girlfriend and you guys voted phone-reading Finn and Paige to win? Heh? #LoveIsland pic.twitter.com/FPyWf9vdk6

Siânnise Fudge’s horrified face over Rebecca’s entrance becomes Love Island’s best meme

Paige & Fin were good but Siânnise & Luke T had magic. Siânnise had the best arc of all the islanders. She didn’t like Nas but saved him by eliminating Conaugh (who dissed her), fought with Rebecca for Luke, won Luke’s heart and got to the damn final. She was robbed #LoveIsland pic.twitter.com/JBCR191RXY

Certainly, it was a divisive victory for Paige and Finn but they clearly had the backing of the majority – indeed, a number of fans leaped to their defence online…

For a second there I thought Sianesse & Luke T were going to nab that money, happy for Paige & Finn love them #LoveIsland

I can’t stop laughing at everyone complaining that Siânnise and Luke didn’t win. Paige and Finn deserved it just as much as them, you’re all just sore losers. ???? #LoveIsland
