Love Island's Laura Whitmore banned from going inside villa by ITV bosses

Love Island presenters Laura Whitmore has revealed she was banned from entering the show's famous villa last year.

After a lot of speculation, the Love Island 2022 line-up was finally confirmed on Monday with ITV bosses breaking with tradition to announce each Islander one by one, rather than in one long list. That meant for five hours, Love Island fans were kept guessing on just would be heading into the villa this year.

The contestants for this year include Michael Owen's daughter Gemma, hands down the most talked about Islander online as the names were all announced. Viewers will get their first look at the 19-year-old in the villa when the new series starts on Monday, June 6.
