There was a rather awkward moment as Love Island launched on Monday night, when Ella Thomas claimed to recognise Tyrique Hyde, only for him to shut the conversation down.
Just months after Kai and Sanam won only the second ever Winter Love Island, the long running dating show was back in its usual home of Mallorca, in time for a new series. Having replaced Laura Whitmore as host at the end of last year, Maya Jama is back on hosting duties for the new run and she was right at the centre of the action as all of the new Islanders entered the luxury villa for the first time.
Once again, there was no 'coupling up' when either the boys or the girls got to do the picking, with the public doing the picking instead, as the contestants looked confused that they were all in the Love Island villa at the same time.
