Love Island 2023 is returning to ITV2 and ITVX on Monday, June 5. The summer series, which is the tenth season of the popular dating programme, comes just three months after the winter final, which saw Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan win the show in South Africa.
The new series will head back to Mallorca with presenter Maya Jama at the helm and Iain Stirling, who will be back behind the mic to narrate. There will also be a new line-up of cast members seeking to find love in the villa.
A synopsis reads: "Islanders must do their best to flirt, date, and couple up in a bid to avoid being ‘dumped’ from the Island. With new arrivals, heads may turn, while others will prove their true feelings. From romance and heart-to-hearts to betrayal, bombshells, and broken hearts, there’s never a dull moment in the ultimate search for love. More texts, fire pit gatherings, and challenges await the lovestruck Islanders, meaning there’ll be plenty for them to dish the dirt on in the Beach Hut. Twists and turns will follow every step of the way, with shock recouplings, unexpected breakups and dramatic dumpings.
