Love Island 2025 start date revealed and fans don’t have long to wait
Love Island will be back on television screens very soon.
The ITV2 dating show will return on Monday, June 9th, at 9pm with presenter Maya Jama welcoming a new batch of sexy singletons to the famous villa in Majorca.
Following on from All Stars earlier this year, this season’s cast will be hoping to find romance. ITV announced the news on Wednesday, 28 May, confirming: “Mark your calendar, you’re invited to this year’s hottest meeting. Time: June 9th, 9pm. Venue: Your sofa (via ITV2/ITVX). Agenda: Initial coupling, strategic navigation of red flags, and identification of potential long-term partnerships #LoveIsland.”
On May 19, the Love Island Instagram account teased its comeback with the caption: “100% our type on paper” alongside a video of a printer with the words “Attention: Love Island is coming soon. Attendance mandatory” written on the paper.
It was also signed off by presenter Maya, who branded herself the “CEO of love” on the document.
Confirming the series return, ITV said: “The OG dating show returns as a fresh batch of singletons prepare for the summer of a lifetime in the ultimate search for love.
“Maya Jama will preside over all of the in-villa action as the class of 2025 get set for all of the twists and turns the Island has to offer, from bombshell arrivals to surprise dumpings.
“Series 12, which celebrates a decade since the show first hit screens in 2015, comes hot off the heels of Love Island All Stars, which quickly became one of the most streamed series in the show’s history – the show has also become the most watched programme for 16-34 year olds on over 400 occasions.”
Previously speaking about the upcoming twelfth series in a TikTok video, Maya said: “I’m really excited guys, the sun is out, summer Love Island is about to happen.
“They released a little advert, they haven’t even done the real advert yet. I can smell it in the air, a bunch of new cuties are about to enter that villa. Your 9pm’s will be gone, you will be locked in, you will stan, ship – and all these other new words – the couples that are about to enter.”
Within the video Maya also gave viewers a major update about Aftersun, sharing that it will return this year to the delight of fans. “Aftersun’s back… I just got a really big wave of excitement,” she confirmed.
Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan won Love Island last year but sadly split after two months of being together.
Mimii announced the breakup on her Instagram, stating that they “have been trying to figure it out since leaving the villa but unfortunately things aren’t going to work out between us right now”.
