The much-anticipated first episode of Love Island’s eighth series aired on ITV this evening. However, host Laura Whitmore revealed a change to the format which changed the way the first set of couples were determined.
Previously, the girls would be asked to step forward if they’ve taken a fancy to a particular boy, before the boy would choose who they want to couple up with. However, Whitmore stated that the programme “asked the public to play cupid and pick the boy they thought you should couple up with.”
This alteration to the format wasn’t met with universal positivity from viewers. Instead, many fans made a simple suggestion which would have enhanced this process significantly and undoubtedly caused early drama.
