Love Island 2025 Odds: Shakira And Harry Favourites For Final After Punters Pile In

The Love Island series 12 finale is nearly upon us - and there is a new favourite on betting sites for victory in the villa. 

While punters have piled into an original couple to win this year's Love Island in recent days, it won't be Megan Forte Clarke and Conor Phillips. 

The pair were 5/4 favourites to be the next couple dumped from the Island on Friday night, and the public obliged by voting them as the least compatible couple, which sent them home.

On Sunday night, host Maya Jama returned to the villa and revealed one of the other two couples with the fewest votes, Megan Moore and Dejon Noel-Williams, and Angel Swift and Ty Isherwood, would be ditched.

Maya invited former Islanders back to vote on which pairing should be axed - and a disappointed Meg and Dejon topped the vote. 

Ty and Angel are now in the finale alongside Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley, Yasmin Pettet and Jamie Rhodes, and Toni Laites and Cach Mercer - but who will win this year's Love Island? 

Odds Don't Lie 

It's been quite a journey for original Islanders Shakira and Harry - and they are now 11/10 favourites on betting apps to win the £50,000 prize money. 

Shakira - not to be confused with the Hips Don't Lie popstar of the same name - and Harry were coupled up halfway through the series, but it all ended in tears when he reconciled with Helena Ford. 

Harry went on to make things exclusive with Helena, only for Shakira to reveal she still had feelings for him.

After some deliberation, Harry realised his heart was still with Shakira and he recoupled with her, devastating Helena. 

Harry was seen as a villain by some of the public, and even Shakira's mum and sister refused to give him a hug when they entered the villa as part of the friends and family segment of the series.

Despite this, Harry and Shakira proved they know plenty about each other by finishing joint-top during the Knowing Me, Knowing You game, and they certainly seem to be into each other.

While a victory for Harry might leave a bad taste in the mouth of some Islanders, they do seem to be the real deal. 

The pair were as big as 9/1 to win series 12 just one week ago, and were still available at 7/2 heading into Friday night's episode. 

They look to be the couple to beat - but can anyone else spring a last-minute surprise?

Toni's Cach Prize

Toni and Cach had been favourites for just over a week, and looked set to head into the finale as frontrunners for the £50,000 jackpot. 

But, such has been the nature of this Love Island series, there was another twist in the betting market, and Harry and Shakira have knocked them off top spot at a crucial time. 

Like Harry and Shakira, Toni has been on some journey in the villa.

She was previously all about Harrison Solomon, but things ended in tears when he voluntarily left the Island after Lauren Wood was dumped. 

As a result, Toni was on the hunt for a new man and she went back to her ex Cach, who had previously been left in tears when she blindsided him in a recoupling by picking Harrison instead. 

The pair have since kissed and made up and become exclusive, and they were 11/10 favourites a week ago.

However, their price increased slightly, to 11/8, by the end of the week, and they have now drifted to 15/8 second favourites with BoyleSports following Friday and Sunday night's episodes. 

Yas And Jamie's Tough Ask 

Yasmin and Jamie were favourites to win this year's Love Island recently, but they drifted last week. 

Their price increase appeared to coincide with two events - the baby challenge and Dejongate. 

During the baby challenge, Yas revealed to Jamie she doesn't want to have children. 

While Jamie admitted it wasn't a deal-breaker in their relationship, punters weren't rushing to back the pair for villa victory.

In the Knowing Me, Knowing You game, Jamie was stunned when Dejon wrote Yas' name down as the person he would couple up with if Meg wasn't in the villa. 

It came as a shock to Jamie, because D and Yas have been at loggerheads during numerous challenges. 

In an unfortunate moment for Yas, she also wrote Dejon's name down when she misheard the question and thought she was required to pick the guy she would couple up with if Jamie wasn't in the villa.

While the pair have since quashed any subsequent beef, their chances of victory have lengthened, and they are now 4/1 with Bet365, from a best price of 3/1 late last week and 5/2 one week ago.

Elsewhere, Angel and Ty appear to be a solid couple, but the fact they were voted as one of the least compatible pairings by the public doesn't bode well for their chances of villa victory on Monday night. 

They are propping up the market at 20/1 with William Hill, and it would be a huge shock if they were to win this year's Love Island.

Whoever scoops the £50,000 prize money, it won't change the fact that series 12 has been a captivating combination of tears, tantrums, twists and turns. 

Let's have more of the same next year - when series 13 will no doubt be unlucky for some.
