Jack Fowler has won the first-ever series of 'Love Island Games'.

The former 'Love Island' star - who took part in the fourth series of the UK dating show - coupled up with 'Love Island USA' season two winner Justine Ndiba in the inaugural season of the programme, which saw former contestants, who had previously appeared on 'Love Island' series worldwide, compete for "another shot at love".

Jack and Justine hooked up on the first day of the new spin-off show, and they were worthy winners of the $100,000 prize after being the only couple to remain together for the whole 17 days of the series.

When presented with the possibility of keeping the $100k or splitting it, Justine said: "I wouldn't have been able to get here without Jack. My family could really use this.

"I just feel like the connection I felt with Jack this time was a lot more real than the last time.

"[Jack] had a rough time in here, and I feel like we both really deserve it, so I'm going to split it."

Jack told Justine: "Money is not everything. Just to be here with you doing this is more than that."

The couple celebrated by calling themselves "champions".

In a video posted on Jack's Instagram Story, Justine could be heard telling him, "Babe, you're such a champion."

He said: "I'm a what?"

She replied: "A champion."

He then said: "And are you a champion?" And she burst out laughing.

Jack wrote on his Story: "We did that!!!!! Champions!!! Thank you so much for allllll that love and support (sic)"

Former 'Love Island' star Eyal Booker and his partner Cely Vazquez narrowly missed out on a place in the final.

They were eliminated just before the finale after the previously dumped 'Love Island Games' stars returned to decide which two couples should make it through to the final alongside Justine and Jack, who had won a semi-final challenge to progress.

Former 'Love Island USA' star Johnny Middlebrooks and ex 'Love Island Germany' star Aurelia Lamprecht finished as runners up to Justine and Jack.

Love Island Australia's Callum Hole and former 'Love Island USA' star Deb Chubb were third.

Aurelia and Deb's podium finishes were particularly impressive considering they had only been in the villa for five days.
