With just one week to go in the 2025 edition of Love Island, bookmakers have made Antonia Laites and Cach Mercer the couple to beat in the race for the £50,000 prize.
The pair are now 11/10 favourites (47.6%) after a strong run of public support, consistent screen time, and standout performances in the villa.
Antonia, a 23-year-old digital content creator from Essex, has been praised by fans for her authenticity and sharp wit, while 24-year-old fitness model Cach, from Manchester, has impressed with his laid-back charm and emotional maturity.

| Megan Forte Clarke & Conor Phillips | 11/2 | 15.4% |
| Shakira Khan & Harry Cooksley | 15/2 | 11.8% |
| Megan Moore & Dejon Noel Williams | 17/2 | 10.5% |

Since coupling up shortly after Harrison’s shock departure, the two have formed one of the villa’s most genuine and drama-free bonds.
They’ve remained a stable couple throughout the last few weeks, regularly topping internal villa rankings and external popularity polls.
Their affectionate, light-hearted dynamic, and ability to stay out of the major bust ups has seen their odds shorten dramatically ahead of the final.
Trailing behind at 5/2 (28.6%) are Yasmin Pettet and Jamie Rhodes, whose strong early connection has recently been tested by tensions following the kissing challenge fallout.
While they remain competitive, their drop in viewer support could prove costly in the final public vote.
“Antonia and Cach have timed their run to perfection,” said Dave James, odds analyst TVWise.co.uk. “They’ve built trust with each other and the audience, which is a winning combination in this show. But Yasmin and Jamie still have a shot—if they can repair their narrative before the final, it could go down to the wire.”
