Love Island suffers ITV2 'blackouts' as launch ruined for other fans by ITVX issue

Seriously annoyed Love Island fans were quick to complain as their enjoyment of the first episode was 'ruined' by an issue with streaming service ITVX, with ITV also 'blacking out' on more than one occasion during the launch.

While it's still less than six months since Ekin-Su and Davide won the last series, the hit ITV2 dating show returned for its second winter run on Monday, back in South Africa, with a new Love Island villa for the new Islanders to enter, as Maya Jama took over as host.

A week after the Love Island line-up was confirmed, the show kicked off in its usual 9pm slot, with the boys going into the villa first, as they waited for the girls to come in one-by-one. However, many of those people who relied on ITVX to get their Love Island fix were soon left disappointed when they were met with error messages on their TVs and laptops.
