The final episode of Love Island helped ITV2 reach its biggest ever audience on Monday night.
An average of 2.43 million viewers tuned in live to see Kem and Amber crowned the winning couple - a huge figure for the network.
A further 150,000 watched the show on ITV2+1, and the total number of viewers is likely to rise dramatically when catch up services are included.
ITV2 have already confirmed the show will return for another series in 2018.
This year's Love Island has been something of a surprise hit for the channel, and has developed a cult following since this series launched at the beginning of June.
Last year's Love Island final was watched by 1.3m viewers, while the final of the first series was watched by 737,000 viewers in 2015.
its a win win, get to perv on some birds whilst also being accommodating to the Mrs choice in shit telly as above jack local lad (pal of pals) hopefully gets far.
Unfortunately, the success of last year's series will be the downfall of this one. Contestants trying too hard to match the popular characters from last year, and producers trying to do too much in an attempt to keep it fresh and exciting.
Yes, I'll be watching with the wife. She's been looking forward to it for weeks. I made the comment that she can watch it as long as I can watch the 7pm WC match in my man cave and I'll come out for Love Island and she was all over that. Secretly pleased that its a 9pm start so won't miss any. Won't let her know that though!

I'll still be watching every evening though.
Got to agree with that but will still watch it anyway.
Also see that one of the girls in there is Danny Dyer's daughter (Dani - must've taken him ages to think of that name) so surely she was hand picked without auditioning.

Dani was also on a show called 'survival of the fittest' produced by the production company behind Love Island and she got injured in the first couple of shows so not surprised she's reappearing.

At last, I am part of a cult.
To be fair the photos could just as easily be innocent, all they're doing is chatting outside a club.
Sad journos will pay for answers
9pm every night for 8 weeks, given that the evening WC games are 7pm it will just tie in nicely.
I'll still be watching every evening though.
Is Jack from Orpington?
oglesee one or more fairytale romances blossom.Also see that one of the girls in there is Danny Dyer's daughter (Dani - must've taken him ages to think of that name) so surely she was hand picked without auditioning.
