What is the Love Island All Stars prize money?
As the series came to an end and Molly and Tom's victory was confirmed, host Maya announced the prize won by the pair. She told the pair they had won £50,000 prize money between them.
In recent years, the ITV2 series has ditched the split or steal twist, that would give Islanders the chance to share the money or take it all for themselves. No winning couples were ever ruthless enough to steal it all from their partner, so bosses decided to drop this part of the finale.
Will Love Island be back this summer?
Those already missing their villa fix need not worry, as another series of the show is on the way. The Summer edition of the dating show is confirmed to be returning and it's just months away.
Maya confirmed the show would be back soon, and appeared to confirm she would be back as host. It normally kicks off in June, so fans really do not have long to wait until a new group of sexy singles make their way to Spanish villa.
Callum Jones and Jess Gale came second (ITV)Will Callum Jones and ex Molly Smith reunite after the show?
Callum and Molly seemed pretty happy with their new partners so a reunion probably isn't likely for the time being. Host Maya wasted no time in asking them about it, telling them how viewers had been keen to see them reunite.

But the pair, while friends again, made it clear that they probably wouldn't be reconciling, as they both shared their fondness for their new partners Jess and Tom. They even joked about being a little friendship group after leaving the villa, showing there were no hard feelings.
Callum said: "I feel like a lot of people find it hard to see a friendship after a relationship has ended. We are now friends and I'm happy about that.
"People always want that fairytale ending and sometimes it doesn't happen and people wanted that to happen, it is what it is." Molly added: "It forced us to be friends and we probably wouldn’t be at that stage on the outside but it's got us to a place we never would have got to, and I'm grateful for that."
Stars left fuming in final
Viewers noticed some awkward reactions during the final (ITV)More than one Islander was said to be shown looking furious during the finale, according to fans. First up was Georgia Harrison, with fans sure she was annoyed to have been voted in fifth place with Anton Danyluk by viewers.
