Most read in Showbiz “They may not have been the furthest along in their relationship out of the finalist couples, but fans loved them both – and that’s the key to their victory. “When YouTube sensation Molly-Mae Hague met boxing legend Tyson Fury‘s brother Tommy in the villa it was the perfect recipe for success. “Julia and Lorenzo have a similar opportunity to capitalise on that dynamic by being popular individually as well as together. The world is their oyster.” Love Island host Maya Jama announced Lothario Lorenzo and his Polish beauty Julia were champions – saying their love story had been “been beautiful to witness”. The couple looked stunned after beating runner-ups Kavan Murphy and Jasmine Muller. Julia said: “I would just love to say thank you to everyone!”, while Lorenzo was giggling to himself saying: “What the hell is going on?!” The pair have left the villa with more than 200,000 followers each on Instagram, but it’s set to dramatically climb when they get their phone backs. Another industry insider told The Sun: “This year has proven that Love Island is still king. “It’s got a successful track record of the likes of Blind Date back in the day – with marriage and children coming from the couples. “It helps keep the genuineness of the show alive – even when the series reinvents itself to keep it fresh.” In the coming days, Lorenzo and Julia will meet with showbiz agents pitching to represent them. They’ll sit down for an hour to hear what they have to offer before making a decision. Our source added: “They’ve been on TV for six weeks and their engagement is vast so they are very much being scouted by agents looking for the opportunity to work with them. “Everyone can’t stop talking about how much they love Lorenzo so brands will be desperate to work with him and Julia has become a Love Island icon who has the personality and model looks combined. “The future is extremely bright – and prosperous – for them both.” Winners Lorenzo and Julia with Love Island host Maya Jama Credit: Shutterstock Jasmine Muller and Kavan Murphy finished in second place Credit: Shutterstock Comment now
