The couple appeared visibly shocked as host Caroline Flack announced the news, having only "coupled up" just over a week ago.

Amber embarked on a romance with Michael Griffiths earlier in the series, but was left heartbroken when he decided to pursue a relationship with Joanna Chimonides.

Law student Greg arrived in the villa late in the competition, but immediately struck up a strong connection with Amber, prompting her to eventually pick him over Michael despite her former flame's shock confession that he still had feelings for her.

Last year's series was won by Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham, who landed their own ITVBe spin-off series before confirming that they had parted ways in April 2019.

ITV confirmed earlier this month that Love Island will return early in 2020 for a winter series, with another season following in the traditional summer slot, in response to a "record breaking year."

The additional series will be filmed in a brand new villa in Cape Town, South Africa.

"Love Island has proven yet again to be the perfect formula that engages younger audiences," Paul Mortimer, head of digital channels and acquisitions at ITV, said.

"In response to this viewer appetite, a new batch of young singletons will deliver some highly anticipated post-Christmas romance and drama from our new and luxurious location."

The show was viewed by more than six million people at its peak this summer.
