Love Island episode one review: will give you 'the ick'

Love Island is back! Does anyone care? Well, 12 seasons since it began and 7 since its high water mark - when Tommy Fury gave Maura “fanny flutters” - it’s back for the Best Summer Ever, or so Maya Jama tells us, while her eyes tell us something very different.

It’s a few years since I last watched the show. It hasn’t changed too much. Is the whole series shoppable now? I’m too old to figure that out. And I don’t think any of the boys’ white trousers would quite suit my skin tone, unless ‘corpse’ is this season’s look. I fear I’d give people ‘the ick’.
