ITV has confirmed a return date for Love Island as she show enters its tenth series. The hit reality show will be jetting back to Mallorca this summer after spending the winter in breezy South Africa, with the next generation of sizzling singletons entering the poolside villa in scenes that will air on ITV2 and ITVX on Monday, June 5.
Series ten will be the second to be hosted by Bristolian bombshell Maya Jama, who was highly praised by viewers as she made her series debut in January of this year. As Maya is at the helm of all the villa action, famed comedian and narrator Iain Stirling returns to voiceover each and every episode of the much-loved format.
Returning to ITVX and ITV2 in June, the Islanders must do their best to flirt, date and couple up in a bid to avoid being ‘dumped’ from the Island. With new arrivals, heads may turn, while others will prove their true feelings. From romance and heart-to-hearts, to betrayal, bombshells and broken hearts, there’s never a dull moment in the ultimate search for love.

More texts, fire pit gatherings and challenges await the lovestruck Islanders, meaning there’ll be plenty for them to dish the dirt on in the Beach Hut. Twists and turns will follow every step of the way, with shock recouplings, unexpected breakups and dramatic dumpings.
As the couples attempt to win the hearts of each other – and the public – one couple will ultimately triumph and be crowned Love Island winners for Summer 2023. Plus, returning to ITV2 and streaming on ITVX is Love Island: Aftersun, with Maya Jama hosting live from London, catching up with Islanders as they leave the villa, getting first-hand interviews from family, celebrity fans and ex-Islanders plus airing exclusive unseen footage.
Also set to make its return this summer is the official Love Island podcast, Love Island: The Morning After, hosted by Sam Thompson and Indiyah Polak as they chat through their thoughts on the latest couplings, dumpings and bombshell antics.
