Overview
In early July 2026, Polish contestant Julia Majchrzak attracted media attention after joining the cast of Love Island UK, generating buzz around her participation.
By July 27, the series concluded with Lorenzo Alessi and Julia Majchrzak declared the winners of Season 13 during the live ITV2 final. The pair split the £50,000 prize. Runners‑up were Jasmine Müller & Kavan Murphy, with Angelista Gunda & Simba Kudyiwa in third place.

Former champions, including 2025 winner Toni Laites and Shakira Khan, commented on the contestants' strategies. Beyond the show, winner Lorenzo Alessi, a fashion entrepreneur, used his television exposure to revive his luxury menswear brand Palmera.
