SUNSHINE & ROMANCE

Below Deck, 8pm, E4/ Love Island, 9pm, ITV2/ Temptation Island, Discovery+

FANS of reality shows featuring camera-friendly young things in idyllic, sun-drenched locations are spoilt for choice today. As Below Deck kicks off a new, ninth series of challenges and shenanigans for the charter yacht staff, chief stewardess Heather and first officer Eddie are both having a tense time. Then, Love Island returns — also for it’s ninth series — with a new host in Maya Jama (pictured) and a new villa in South Africa. Happily, we’ll still have the familiar

tones of Iain Stirling’s wry commentary. Meanwhile, there’s another glossy mix of jealousy, drama and emotional turmoil in the latest, fourth series of Temptation Island, as another batch of couples whose relationships have hit a sticky patch are dispatched to a paradise filled with gorgeous singletons.
