The Love Island finale gave ITV2 its biggest ever audience last night.

A total of 3.6 million tuned in for the final, a million more than last year, and made Love Island the most-watch programme in its slot across all channels.

The final boasted a further 1.9 million simulcast requests on ITV Hub.

The figures mean that Love Island is the most-watched programme on a digital channel ever amongst 16-34s, and has attracted the biggest 16-34 audiences on TV this year, outside of World Cup matches.

Paul Mortimer, ITV’s Head of Digital Channels and Acquisitions, said: “Love Island was once again the must-see show of the summer. At ITV2, we were thrilled with the level of younger viewer engagement to the extent that it broke all our previous audience records and is now firmly established as the biggest ever series in the multi-channel space.”

Love Island is an original ITV Studios Entertainment format, co-produced with Motion Content Group, and is distributed internationally by ITV Studios Global Entertainment.
