If you are a singleton looking for love then next summer could see you live your dreams in the Love Island villa.
Despite the 2022 series only wrapping up less than 24 hours ago, ITV2 are already on the look out for new contestants to appear on next year's show. Could you be the next winner in the Love Island hall of fame, joining iconic couples such as Davide and Ekin-Su and Liam and Millie?
ITV said: "The chosen cast will spend time in a luxury villa, getting to know one another, but to remain in paradise they must win the hearts of the public and their fellow Islanders who ultimately decide their fate on Love Island."
