Host Caroline Flack shared various videos of the end-of-series celebrations on her Instagram Story, later revealing she had missed her flight home. 

Despite becoming some of the biggest household names in the UK right now, the cast were not treated to any sort of luxury on their journey, as they were flown home on budget airline Ryanair.

They even had to content with an hour and 20 minute delay to their flight, due to bad weather between Majorca, where the show is filmed, and Stansted. 

The series final of ‘Love Island’ won a record-breaking average of 3.6 million viewers on Monday night, which is the highest overnight figure ever recorded by ITV2.
