Love Island’s Sammy and Jess look loved up as final four couples head home from Mallorca
LOVE Island’s Sammy Root and Jess Harding looked loved up as the final four couples headed home from Mallorca.
Sammy and Jess, both 22, were the surprise winners of the 2023 series, pipping favourites Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki.
Molly Marsh and Zachariah Noble came in fourth place, while Tyrique Hyde and Ella Thomas landed in third place.
They all took to their respective Instagram accounts as they jetted back to the UK after competing on the ITV2 programme.
The show winners cosied up before checking in their luggage, with Jess looking incredible in a blue short mini dress.
Sammy opted for a black tracksuit and flashed a beaming smile.
Their co-stars wore casual ensembles too and all appeared to be in high spirits as they made their way through Palma airport.
Love Island fans grew concerned about Sammy and Jess’ future after watching their romantic declarations in the final.
Worried viewers spotted a huge clue that his feelings might not be genuine as he failed to give her any eye-contact, despite gushing about their romance.
Others felt that Jess appeared to be rather disinterested and fear she has “switched” off.
Discussing their relationship, a fan wrote: “Sammy is not even making eye contact with Jess while he talks about his wondering eye.”
Another tweeted: “No eye contact with Sammy.”
As someone else commented: “Jess defo can’t stand sammy anymore. She just looks tired of him.”
And a further Love Island added: “Who ever said it was right. Something about Jess seems off- like she’s not into Sammy as much anymore.”
During their declarations in the Love Island final, Jess told Sammy: “Knowing how much it takes for you to get strong feelings screams to me how serious and genuine our connection is.”
Sammy replied: “It took some time at the beginning of my journey to realise what I was risking but when I saw you walking towards the fire pit on your own after Casa, I instantly knew that you were all that I wanted, my wandering eye turned into my eye for Jess.”
