Love Island line-up including Michelle Keegan body double and Benidorm extra as series starts

The new series of Love Island starts on Monday and the contestants heading into the villa this time round have now were confirmed with a week to go.

It's been five months now since Ekin-Su and Davide triumphed in Majorca, to win the last series of Love Island and three years since the last winter run, which was won by Paige and Finn at the start of 2020, just a month before the Covid pandemic changed everything.

Love Island is returning to South Africa for only it second winter run in its history, with the biggest change, other than a difference of location, is the fact that Maya Jama has replaced Laura Whitmore as presenter, after Laura walked away from the show just weeks after Ekin-Su and Davide's victory.
