I don’t have the abs to be a Love Island contestant

Meanwhile, an awkward game called Bang On Trend saw them work out the identities of the co-stars mentioned in viewers’ tweets. It meant they found out what their friends and partners had said about them – and led to some serious friction between Chris and Olivia Attwood, who were already a very on/off pair. As Iain puts it: “There’s nothing better than watching a couple have an argument on television, and knowing that you’re not involved in it in any shape or form. It’s brilliant.” And the drama is bound to keep us hooked long after the tans have faded... Amber and Kem split just months after winning in 2017, and Chris and Olivia not long after – in fact, Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt are the only couple from the third series who are still together. been dating TV personality Laura Whitmore since last summer – but how does he think he would have fared on Love Island in his single days?

“Oh, I would have been absolutely terrible,” he says without hesitation.

“I’ve got a very soft stomach so my ab count is far lower than those gentlemen, I sweat profusely when heated, which is not a great look, and I’m into early noughties pop punk... I don’t think Blink-182 is going to woo many women.

“So all in all, I don’t think I’d be one of your best contestants.” EMOTIONAL make-ups and break-ups, shocking twists and Stormzy appearing to give advice via video link – it’s no wonder Love Island recently nabbed a Bafta for best reality show.

But still, Iain isn’t worried about trying to match last year’s success.

“If you start thinking, ‘What do people want?’, you’re never going to get it right,” he suggests matter-offactly. “You’ve just got to think, ‘What do we like?’”

It helps that the people who work on the series are so obsessed, he adds. “I think Caroline (Flack) mentioned it in her Bafta acceptance speech – the Love Island team, even the ones who weren’t invited – not, not invited but obviously you can’t bring hundreds of people to the Baftas – booked out a pub in north London, and just had a big party. The video of them losing their mind when they won is just insane.”

Who knows what the producers have in store this year?

All we know is, we’ll be watching.
