Well, that’s the end of that! The Islanders have packed their bags and are headed home to Heathrow after five weeks of actively searching for love (with plenty of sun-bathing thrown in for good measure) in South Africa.
The Love Island finale was got off to an emotional start with a tribute to Caroline Flack before the finalists began making their declarations of love (and Fin just being generally stupid) and the tears – happy and sad – ensued.
Thank you @LoveIsland for this beautiful tribute to Caroline and well done to @thewhitmore for getting through it
Caroline, we will always remember you. #LoveIsland #LoveIslandFinal pic.twitter.com/LB98HDkrDt

Of course, in true Twitter fashion, there were memes aplenty…
Iain Stirling, Laura Whitmore and the rest of the Love Island crew deserve a standing ovation for soldiering on in such tragic circumstances, they’ve done a fantastic job #loveisland pic.twitter.com/Y4AIImFmJ9

Anyways, what do normal people do on weekdays when they’re not watching Love Island? Just asking for a friend…
