Love Island first look at cheesy promo as 2022 stars get ready for hot flirty summer

Who ordered a cheesy promo? Well it looks like Love Island is finally back and the latest batch of islanders are ready to find love in the iconic villa over the coming weeks.

Ahead of its return next week, ITV2 have released its first-look promo featuring 11 singletons who are on the hunt for romance - and maybe a cheeky PLT deal on the side.

Reiterating that this year's Islanders are not just social media influencers - but real people with real jobs - it shows each of the contestants 'going about' their day to day lives.

Queue a fishmonger ditching his kippers to follow his dreams of meeting a bikini-clad model and a slow-motion scene of a equestrian dropping down from her horse.

The video opens with paramedic Paige Thorne who is seen in her work uniform in the front of an ambulance before excitedly noticing a billboard advertising the show.

She's clearly ready for a summer holiday as viewers soon see Paige strip off into a leopard-print bikini, emerging from the back of the vehicle in it within the blink of an eye.

Next up is fishmonger Luca Bish, who daydreams of being on a summer getaway whilst behind the counter at work. It doesn't take long before he's throwing off his netted hat.

Those in the villa are likely to see his cheeky smile quite a bit, which he flashes a few times in the promo - in which he also shows off his tattooed body in a pair of swim shorts.

And although he's a pharmaceutical sales specialist, don't expect to see Ikenna Ekwonna mixing a love potion in his segment because he works up a sweat in the gym instead.

Teasing that he's a knockout, the islander is seen boxing - with his shirtless performance in the promo giving fans of the show a glimpse of his toned physique as well.

Hotel waitress Indiyah Polack shows her cheeky side in her part of the newly-released promo, with her stealing chips from the plate of a guest who has ordered room service.

Her actions unsurprisingly leave him less than impressed when he gets his meal, but will she manage to steal a few hearts in the iconic villa though? Only time will tell.

It also introduces fans of the show to equestrian and business owner Gemma Owen - who has already made headlines for being the daughter of football icon Michael Owen.

She is seen getting off a horse in a dramatic slow-mo clip, before winking at the camera as she heads off through the stable setting. She's said to be looking for a strapping lad.

Postgraduate student Liam Llewellyn is next up to try his hand at playing it cool on camera, with his bit teasing that there's always time for flirting alongside his studies.

Fans see him in the newly-released teaser video getting close to someone in a library - but will he have first-class chat in the villa or does he need some tutoring perhaps?

Next up is nanny Amber Beckford, who looks bored as she tidies up after the children she's looking after have gone to bed. A surprise text however offers her a welcomed escape.

The promise of a romantic summer getaway sees her leave her keys behind as she heads off in search of love. Will she find what she's looking for though? We'll find out soon enough.

We're shown another work environment when it comes to Andrew Le Page's introduction, with the estate agent filmed in an office setting where he's seen smartly suited up.

The clip shows him excitedly responding to completing a deal for the villa, but viewers will have to wait and see whether the girls on the show buy what he's selling them.

There's a bit of innuendo in the scene involving microbiologist Dami Hope, as he's shown looking into a microscrope to see boob-like cells combining to form a love heart.

It looks like the breakthrough he's been waiting for, with him turning towards the camera with a grin - before opening up his protective overalls to tease his body.

Time for a dance break! It's courtesy of islander Tasha Ghouri - who is a model and dancer - with her filmed for the promo showing off some of her moves whilst on a rooftop.

Fans will have to tune in next week to see if she has the right routine to make a good first impression or whether she will be quickstepping out of there in no time.

And rounding off the islanders in the promo is Davide Sanclimenti - who has been dubbed the 'Italian stallion.' It should come as no surprise that he's pretty ripped indeed.

His scene in the newly-released promo sees him working out in a gym as two people observe his body - complete with six-pack, obviously - from across the room.

Love Island returns with its new series on Monday (June 6) from 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes will be available the morning after broadcast through BritBox.
