Sex, hugs ‘n cameras roll
ITV2, 9pm FOR dedicated and devoted fans, today’s the day they’ve been waiting for.
They’re all set to surrender their evening viewing for the next eight weeks to get more invested in the love lives and relationships of a bunch of complete strangers than they are in their own.
Yep, Love Island is back. And 11 new contestants will be heading into the villa, in the hopes of finding romance.
Or of raising their public profile, bagging half a million Instagram followers, a few magazine spreads, This Morning appearances and a load of sponsorship deals. Cynical? Us? As usual, there are more spray tans, six-packs, tattoos, fake lashes and hair extensions than you can shake a water bottle at.
The line-up for this fourth series includes an air hostess, a personal trainer, a couple of models, an electrical engineer, a West End performer and an A&E doctor.
Oh, and Danny Dyer’s daughter, also called Dani Dyer. Woe betide any muppet who mugs her off on national TV, with her hardman dad watching.
Host Caroline Flack is back to bring us all the juicy goings-on from inside the luxury villa as the contestants try to couple up and find their perfect match – and avoid being sent home, loveless and single, with their tail between their perfectly-tanned, sculpted and hairless legs.
As usual, there will be a whole load of twists and surprises in store for the gorgeous gang, and a comedy voice-over from Scottish funnyman Iain Stirling.
