Paddy Power have today paid out early on Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu winning this year’s Love Island.

Having been fan favourites from early in the series, the duo has become increasingly popular, with punters leading to Paddy Power having to shorten their odds to 2/9 before deciding to pay out on them as series winners.

With the loved-up pair attracting the vast majority of bets, the early payout has cost the Irish bookie over SIX FIGURES.

Paddy Power, a spokesperson for Paddy Power, said “They say you can’t script reality TV but we’re calling the result on this one early. Davide and Ekin-Su have been the standouts all series and are a match made in heaven for our shrewd customers who backed them early doors.”
