Love Island's Gemma Owen sees biggest increase out of current contestants and is 4/1 to be top female
Another big week of Love Island is over and with it we see an even bigger rise in popularity of the current crop.
Gemma Owen has had the biggest increase in Instagram followers in the last week, with Paige Thorne close behind her in terms of numbers gained.
With it, we see Gemma Owen as 4/1 with bookmakers to be the top female in this year's series, but it's Thorne who remains 5/4 favourite.
| Love Islander 2022 | Current Followers | Numbers Change in last week |
|---|---|---|
| Gemma Owen | 637,000 | 108,000 |
| Luca Bish | 463,000 | 96,000 |
| Paige Thorne | 510,000 | 131,000 |
| Tasha Ghouri | 268,000 | 28,000 |
| Indiyah Polack | 249,000 | 42,000 |
| Davide Sanclimenti | 262,000 | 73,000 |
| Jacques O'Neill | 358,000 | 113,000 |
| Andrew Le Page | 155,000 | 27,000 |
| Dami Hope | 159,000 | 35,000 |
| Danica Taylor | 74,900 | 27,700 |
| Jay Younger | 61,400 | 22,200 |
Paige Thorne may well catch up with Owen and Bish as the top two most followed contestants this season judging by the increase in numbers.
Those increases seem to coincide with the odds for who wins the show too as the winners are voted for by the public watching at home.
Jacques O'Neill & Paige Thorne now into 4/1 favourites to be winning couple
With Paige Thorne's increasing popularity comes the increase in her chances of being in the winning couple for this year's series too.
With odds of 4/1 it's Jacques O'Neill and Paige Thorne who are the favourites to be the winning couple according to betting sites.
Luca Bish and Gemma Owen follow closely behind them at 9/2 although they aren't currently a couple on the show after new girl Danica Taylor coupled up with Bish.
| Winning Couple Love Island 2022 | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Jacques O'Neill and Paige Thorne | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Luca Bish and Gemma Owen | 9/2 | 18.2% |
| Andrew Le Page and Tasha Ghouri | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack | 25/1 | 3.8% |
| Jay Younger and Ekin-Su Culculoglu | 33/1 | 2.9% |
Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack make an interesting newcomer to the betting market as the two aren't currently couple up with each other.
Sunday's show though had Dami gushing about Indiyah and it may well get to a point where the two get together.
Still loads of Love Island betting specials for this year's series
Specials are always a massive market when it comes to Love Island and this year is no different.
We already reported on the market for Jaques O'Neill and Jay Stronger to have a Boxing bout at some point this year after the two had words around the fire-pit last week.
There are even more specials around the current season of Love Island, including the popularity of the show and much more.
| Love Island Specials | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Any episode to be most watched ever | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Any episode to be least watched ever
|
5/1 | 16.7% |
| Either member of the winning couple to steal the prize money | 7/1 | 12.5% |
| Any islander from a previous series to win the show | 50/1 | 2.0% |
Either member of the winning couple to steal the prize money remains a betting special being offered by bookmakers, but it's something that we haven't yet seen on Love Island.
They say there's a first time for everything though and it's odds of 7/1 that this year will be the year in which we see one of the islanders take the full prize money.
