It comes after Mimii and Josh said they had been left both ‘proud and overwhelmed’ by their historic win.

Both were left gobsmacked when host Maya Jama announced their names during the live final as they walked away with the £50K cash prize.

Following the result Mimii said: ‘I’m so shocked about it. It’s nice. Hopefully it will set pace for more diverse representation.  

‘It’s overwhelming, but in the best possible way’.

Agreeing Josh, added: ‘I definitely feel proud. To be able to add a little bit to help balance the scales, if it means greater diverse representation, that is great. We are just happy to write history’.

The couple were in the final with Nicole and Ciaran, Matilda Draper and Sean Stone and Jessica Spencer and Ayo Odukoya. 

Jessica and Ayo finished in fourth place while Matilda and Sean were awarded third position in the reality show competition.

Meanwhile over in Manchester Airport Grace Jackson flaunted her jaw-dropping figure as she arrived at back following the ITV2 show’s live final

The model, 25, showcased her incredibly toned abs in a skimpy white crop which she teamed with tiny shorts.

Grace slipped her feet into comfy trainers and toted a pink quilted Chanel handbag as she stepped off the flight from Mallorca.

The blonde beauty was greeted by family and friends who waved welcome home signs as well as a cardboard cut out of her.

Grace, who was dumped form the villa alongside Rueben Collins just days before the final, beamed as she was presented with a bouquet. 

It comes after Grace Jackson laid into ex Joey Essex as she reflected on the series of rows he instigated during their time together on the reality show.

She was partnered with Joey, 33, for six days after he dumped Samantha Kenny to be with her. Grace and Joey already knew each other as they briefly dated in 2023.

Joey then left Grace to get with Jessy Potts – sneaking to the terrace to kiss her and leaving lasting animosity between himself and Grace. 

On Saturday, Grace told The Sun of their relationship: ‘It got heated from his end. It was very unwarranted and not needed. The information that he was saying didn’t have any truth behind it.

‘It did start to go sour between us because of what he was saying in the games and challenges. So that’s when it started just to go downhill. I would say he was nit-picking and trying to get a reaction.

Grace also revealed she was completely blindsided by Joey’s interest in Jessy as she thought they were in a good place. 

She recalled: ‘Even when he was on his date, I was saying to the girls like I’m so confident in him, I have no worry.

‘I think I put a lot of trust in him just because of how close we’d gotten again. And a lot of his actions and words made me feel very reassured. I didn’t feel like I had anything to worry about.

Joey has stayed loyal to Jessy, 25, for over three weeks – making it his longest pairing in the competition.

Bombshell Lolly Hart’s efforts to sway him were fruitless and Joey has defied the odds to reach the finals with Jessy.

Meanwhile Joey and Jessy shared a very loved-up snap to social media on Tuesday, as they prove they are committed to their ‘exclusive era’.

The couple were sent packing just one day before the series final as their former co-stars returned to settle scores on Sunday.

Just days earlier, Joey and Jessy became exclusive during a romantic date night in the villa.

In a new snap, the couple put on a cosy display as the former TOWIE star, 34, gazed into the 25-year-old’s eyes as they held hands against a pool backdrop in Mallorca.

Joey insisted he wasn’t given any special treatment during his time on Love Island because he was already a celebrity, it can now be revealed that he did.

MailOnline understands that Joey, who was introduced as a ‘bombshell’ in the first week of the show, was ‘promised the final’ before entering the show and was furious when he was sent packing on Sunday night’s show with his partner Jessy Potts after the ex-Islanders voted them the least compatible couple.

Grace has said of their relationship: 'It got heated from his end. It was very unwarranted and not needed. The information that he was saying didn't have any truth behind it'

And, sources close to the show say that the former TOWIE star was given ‘two to three hours’ of time a day out of the villa which he spent with producers and away from the cameras.

Insiders also say Joey was given flowers by the production team to hand to the eventual winner Mimii Ngulube after he was slammed for his behaviour towards her and her partner Josh Oyinsan.

In an episode last week, Joey was seen giving Mimii a bunch of flowers to apologise to her after previously arguing with her during a challenge.

However, ITV have now said: ‘Joey has not been treated differently at all at any point of the process both pre, during and post featuring on the series. We completely refute any claim as all islanders are treated equally.’

Upon entering the villa, ITV producers previously stated: ‘Joey is being treated like any other Love Island contestant, he’s playing by the same rules and won’t be given any preferential treatment.

‘He hasn’t been paid an appearance fee or any money at all for signing up to the show, not a penny.’

Just this week it was reported Joey, who is already worth £8 million, is set to earn a whopping £250,000 with a club tour following his Love Island dumping.
