Love Island start date finally revealed by ITV – and it’s just DAYS away
Hosted by Maya Jama, 30, viewers can’t wait for the new series to kick off – and they don’t have long to go.
Love Island fans have been patiently awaiting the arrival of the new summer series.
They had been starting to speculate the show had been delayed as there had been no news from ITV confirming the start date – until now.
The broadcaster – who brought fans Love Island ten years ago in 2015 – have revealed the show will start on Monday, June 9.
The action will kick off at 9pm on ITV2 and see host Maya welcome a brand new set of sexy singletons into the famous villa.
The new Islanders will then attempt to “couple up” in order for them not to be “dumped from the Island”.
As per Love Island tradition, the show usually starts the week after the last May Bank Holiday.
However, this year the show is kicking off a week after this at the slightly later date of June 9.
LOVE ISLAND TEASE
It comes after host Maya teased the return of Love Island, in the show’s latest trailer.
In the short clip, she talked about the new series bringing ‘more twists and turns’.
Looking sensational, Maya said: “This year Love Island needs something bigger, something bolder, I want ideas.”
The TV host insisted: “This year I want more drama, more bombshells, more break-ups, more makeups.
“I want more twists, I want more twists than ever.”
VILLA CRISIS
The Sun revealed earlier this week how the Love Island villa isn’t ready yet.
Staff have been working around the clock to prepare for this summer’s Islanders, who will land on the Spanish island next week – but there is still work that needs to be done.
A source said: “it’s always a quick turnaround to sprinkle the Love Island magic on the Villa, which is a regular holiday let the rest of the year.
“But the schedule has gone awry this year and it’s looking like production is as much as ten days behind schedule.
“Everyone is working around the clock.”
Meanwhile, over the weekend, The Sun unveiled one of the new Islanders as 6’5” personal trainer Aaron Beckett.
Aaron has tens of thousands of fans on Instagram and Tiktok where he posts eye popping videos of his workouts.
A villa source told The Sun: “It’s a fact of life that girls go crazy for a tall lad and Aaron is a man mountain.
“He’s got great chat too.”
