Love Island star Zara, 25, and her boyfriend Sam, 30, could be seen sitting in bed on Monday night as they digested the final episode.

After watching Ekin-Su, 27, and Davide, 27, be crowned winners of the latest series, they predicted it won't be long until they SPLIT.

Zara said she was "dreading the day" the couple might break up, as she admitted she felt the "distance" could come between them.

Ekin-Su currently lives in Essex, while her partner Davide is based in Manchester, while his much of his family still lives in Italy.

"Already dreading the break-up statements," Sam captioned a video of Zara predicting that they would soon split up.

"I'm already dreading the day that they probably, most likely, will break up - I don't want to say it as I don't want them to break up," she told Sam as she took off her make-up.

"Then the story comes out that he was on a PA and that something went wrong," Sam then chimed in to speculate.

Before Zara offered up: "Or the distance and the busy schedules or something. Oh no, I hope they don't break up. I love them."

It comes after Ekin-Su and Davide were crowned winners of Love Island 2022 - beating Luca Bish and Gemma Owen.

The popular pairing were heavy favourites going into the final - and two-thirds of Sun readers correctly predicted the couple's victory.

They triumphed over Dami Hope and Indiyah PolackGemma Owen and Luca Bish and Andrew Le Page and Tasha Ghouri.

Ekin said of making the final two on Love Island: "It feels so surreal finding the man of your dreams and just growing."

On what she liked most about Davide, she added: "Apart from the perfect body, I would definitely say there was an instant spark and a genuine butterfly feeling."

In a departure from past series', the winning pair weren't tasked with deciding to split or steal the £50,000 prize pot.

It might have been just as well for Davide, as the Sun recently revealed bombshell texts from Ekin-Su to a friend outlined how she’d be “tempted” to steal the whole prize pot if her connection wasn’t genuine.

Asked what Ekin thought she would do if she won, the Turkish actress, 27, wrote: “It’s a game show at the end of the day, it’s business. If it’s not genuine I’d be tempted.

“But I’m at the right age to find the right guy. I know what I’m looking for. I want to find The One.”

At the time, a source argued: “That kind of chemistry can’t be faked.  Whatever Ekin might’ve thought going into the villa is irrelevant now, really. Love conquers all.”
