Who gets the £50,000 prize?  

Every year, the couple who receives the most votes from the public are crowned the winners of the series. They are each presented with an envelope by host Laura, one of which contains £0 while the other holds the full £50,000.

The final will take place on Monday 1 August 

Whoever opens the envelope that contains the money has two options. They can either choose to keep the full amount to themselves or split it with their partner and receive £25,000 each. Their choice reveals whether they were in the competition for love or money. 

So far, love has always prevailed and no contestant has ever chosen to take the full £50,000 rather than sharing it.

Who are the remaining couples? 

The final six couples left in the villa and hoping to be crowned this year's champions are: Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Gemma Owen and Luca Bish, Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope, Paige Thorne and Adam Collard, Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page and Danica Taylor and Jamie Allen.
