An insider said: “Love Island is coming back with a bang and it will begin on the second full week in June. “The schedules are being put together now and fans can expect a long, hot summer of fun from the villa from June 6. “Filming for the promotional adverts is beginning in the next couple of weeks and the ads will start in May," they added to The Sun. “This series is going to be the longest ever and it’s from a brand new location so it’s all very exciting.” Love Island has remained one of ITV’s most popular reality series among 16-34 year olds since its debut in 2015 and has spurred several successful careers for former contestants such as Molly-Mae Hague, Olivia Bowen, Dani Dyer and many more.

The news of the upcoming series’ return comes as it was reported that Laura Whitmore is stepping back into her role as presenter on Love Island in replacement of Caroline Flack who hosted up until her death in 2020, after securing a £500,000 deal.
