Love Island Casa Amor start date 2023 confirmed as ITV bosses share first glimpse

Love Island has finally announced the news everybody has been waiting for. It was rumoured the ITV2 dating show's biggest twist, Casa Amor would return over the weekend but it looks like it will arrive sooner than expected on Friday, June 30.

Following a dramatic episode that saw Mitchel Taylor stir the pot between Zachariah Noble and Kady McDermott, a Tomorrow Night trailer teased the return of Casa Amor. Typically, the twist sees the introduction of a brand new line-up with six new boys and six new girls joining the show with the aim of ruffling feathers and tempting the contestants away from their current relationships.

The new contestants and the original Islanders are then separated into two villas. After a few days together the Islanders must choose to stick with their current partner or choose to couple up with a new bombshell without knowing what their other half has decided.

And as Thursday night's episode came to a close, voiceover Iain Stirling could be heard, as he told viewers: "Tomorrow night, the cracks start to show. And guess... what's... back?"

At that moment, the famous Casa Amor sign appeared on screen and flickered in neon lights, confirming the second villa was open and waiting for the Islanders. But not before the teaser showed an explosive row between Tyrique Hyde and Welsh footballer Scott Van Der Sluis.

"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Scott asks the group, as Tyrique responds: "You are definitely over exaggerating your feelings towards Catherine. You're just with Catherine to try and stay here longer."

Casa Amor is returning for 2023 (ITV)

No more information was given in the trailer about Casa Amor, which could mean Friday's episode will see either the boys or the girls secretly vacate the main villa and new cast members will be announced.

Reacting to the news Casa Amor was returning, one viewer wrote: "What a crazy time for casa amor. This villa is in shambles."

While another added: "Ooooo it’s kicking off AND Casa Amor?! It’s UP."

And a third commented: "CASA AMORRR. It’s is going to be SO juicy. This might be the most excited I’ve been for Casa Amor to happen."

Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
