Love Island 2023 preview
What do you get when you put a gas engineer from Sheffield and an aesthetics practitioner from London together in a villa in sizzling hot Mallorca? Pure TV gold is what, especially as Mitchel (the gas man) and Jess (the... let's say beautician) both have it in for anyone who tries to save money. Sparks will surely fly!
The 10th season of Love Island UK invites a new gaggle of preening singletons to flirt and frolic their way into each other's beds for our viewing pleasure, with Maya Jama providing the droll witticisms as Iain Stirling nails the slo-mo struts and tosses in the occasional grenade. It's possible we've got that the wrong way around.
Glaswegian model Ella and Doncastrian musical theatre performer and TikTok star Molly have set the bar high right from the outset. The usual peacocking routine isn't likely to cut it for Ella, who's met Brad Pitt, while Molly already had a legion of followers on social media before her involvement on the show was announced.

Who is hosting Summer Love Island 2023?
After taking over as Love Island presenter in 2020, Laura Whitmore stepped down from her villa duties at the end of season 8 last summer.
While her husband, Iain Stirling, will continue to put his dulcet tones to use for those cracking voiceovers, TV and radio presenter Maya Jama will once again be taking the reins and grabbing love by the horns after her debut season earlier this year.
Where is Summer Love Island 2023 being filmed?
Love Island UK returns to the familiar surroundings of Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, on the island of Mallorca, for season 10.
Average June temperatures on the Balearic Island average 72.9 °F / 22.7 °C, but the mercury regularly approaches the 86 °F / 30 °C mark.
It's a short hop to Menorca and Ibiza, which lie on either side of Mallorca.

Our first port-of-call for Love Island news is the official Love Island Twitter page.

What time can I watch the Love Island first look?

What safe-guarding has been put in place for Love Island?
Both the mental wellbeing of contestants and the way the show tackles inclusivity have come under fire over the last few years. This follows the loss of former contestants Sophie Gradon in 2018 and Mike Thalassitis in 2019, and former host Caroline Flack in 2020, all three to suicide.
The first duty of care protocols were shared in 2019 ahead of season 5, with 2022 seeing Love Island producers release a full set of protocols, including the new addition of inclusion training to tackle “inclusive language around disability, sexuality, race and ethnicity, behaviours and microaggressions".
In its continued efforts to better safeguard contestants, ITV announced a key new rule change earlier this year. Contestants are now asked to pause their social media accounts ahead of entering the villa. This follows previous seasons where friends and family would take the reins of their accounts.
Following last summer's series, where Ofcom were inundated with complaints of controlling and misogynistic behavior particularly from the men in the villa, this year ITV announced: "Islanders will also receive guidance and training around mutually respectful behaviour in relationships [...] to help them identify negative behaviours in relationships and understand the behaviour patterns associated with controlling and coercive behaviour."
The cast will also view a video including interviews with former islanders talking about their experiences following villa life. in an endeavour to better prepare them for the transition.
Outlined on ITV's website, protocols are broken down to pre-filming, during the series, and aftercare.
