So that's it - 'Love Island' is done and dusted for another year (or another six months, at least).
Last night saw Limerick's Greg O'Shea and his Geordie villa partner Amber Gill crowned the 'Love Island' champions, beating Tommy and Molly-Mae into second place, Ovie and India into third and Maura and Curtis into fourth.
The Twitter reaction - at least, the Irish contingent - were partying like it was 1999, considering that not only had one of our own won the 8-week-long show, but he'd done it after just 12 days in the villa. Good man, Greg.
Here's a reminder of the moment they were announced as the winners:

And here's what people had to say about it:
Roses are red
Gregg is Irish
Amber’s just won love island

Greg even gave a 'Go raibh mile maith agat' shout-out to his Irish fans (even though we can't vote - sort it out, Love Island):
A little thank you from your brand new king and queen of the villa, Amber and Greg! #LoveIsland pic.twitter.com/z9v4i3qoFL

Maura shouting “Up the Irish” at the end is an absolute mood. It’s like Italia 90 all over again!! G’wan Greg & Amber #LoveIsland #loveIslandfinal pic.twitter.com/b4C7SXILev

There were plenty of Shane Ross jokes...

And people had plenty to say about Tommy and Molly-Mae, who surely reckoned they were home and dry, considering they'd been coupled up for so long...
Molly Mae really thought she was winning that £50,000 . At least she still has ellie bellie that’s what matters

Meanwhile, pretty much everyone agreed that we're going to miss Maura. Can we, as someone suggested below, please get her into 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here'?
Maura has been ITV2’s best investment. #loveisland

Awwww in fairness, Maura is the break out star of this series. She’s going to make a fortune and will be with a footballer by Halloween and in the jungle next series 🎉🎉🎉 #LoveIsland

Lets be real, the only reason that Maura is 4th is because of Curtis, dragging her down. #loveIsland #loveIslandfinal pic.twitter.com/7760iTl75W
