When is the Love Island 2024 final? End date for series 11

Fans of ITV's Love Island have just days to wait before the final and a new king and queen of romance are crowned

It may only be July but the summer of love is almost over for the inhabitants of one famous villa in Mallorca.

Just days remain for Love Island‘s besotted couples before this year’s series draws to a close and the residents return to real life.

Series eleven of the ITV reality show, presented by Maya Jama, has been packed with all the usual highs and lows of a romantic drama.

Now the couples have been whittled down to the final few and the heat is on ahead of a final vote for the public’s favourite pair.

Whichever duo comes out on top will then be able to waltz off into the sunset hand-in-hand with a £50,000 prize pot.

When is the Love Island series 11 final?

This series of Love Island began on Monday 3 June and eight weeks down the line is about to come to an end.

Monday 29 July will be the final programme in the 11th series of the show with the winning couple finally revealed.

It will air on ITV 2 and ITVX from 9pm and is expected to conclude at 10.35pm.

Who are the favourites to win Love Island?

There are just five couples left in the show now: Nicole Samuel and Ciaran Davie, Matilda Draper and Sean Stone, Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan, Jessy Potts and Joey Essex and Jessica Spencer and Ayo Odukoya.

According to bookmakers Bet365, the odds for each couple are as follows:

  • Nicole Samuel & Ciaran Davies 2/5
  • Matilda Draper & Sean Stone 5/1
  • Mimii Ngulube & Josh Oyinsan 11/2
  • Jessy Potts & Joey Essex 9/1
  • Jessica Spencer & Ayo Odukoya 28/1

Welsh duo Nicole and Ciaran have been together since day five and survived a recent meet-the-parents episode getting family approval.

Salesman Sean and recruitment consultant Matilda met a couple of weeks into the show and sped off on a date earlier this month in a convertible sports car in a first for Love Island. But all is not fair in love and war for these two, Matilda became annoyed with Sean when he was dared to kiss the islander he thought would be the most passionate in bed and chose Lola.

Mental health nurse Mimii and semi-professional footballer Josh headed out on their first date earlier this month to an authentic Spanish market. The couple have had a rocky road to romance, with Mimii previously partnered with Munveer and Ayo before Josh turned up at the villa.

Towie star Joey Essex swept into Casa Amor on the evening of the first night at the villa as a bombshell arrival. He coupled up with Samantha Kenny, then rekindled a romance with former flame Grace before finally settling on brand partnerships associate Jessy Potts.

Model Ayo was originally coupled up with Mimii for the first half of the series but got toegether with fashion stylist Jess when Mimii went to Casa Amor. Rumours are rife Ayo and Mimii still have feelings for each other but so far he has remained with Jess.

Grace Jackson and Reuben Collins almost made it but came to an ignominious end when they were booted out of the villa in a shock dumping on Wednesday night.

In a game called A Couple Of Sorts, in which islanders learnt where the public ranks their relationships, the final question was which couple would be least likely to work on the outside and Grace and Reuben were voted in first place.

The couple then learnt because they had been voted least likely to work on the outside, they were immediately being dumped from the villa.
