“Get ready for a summer of love,” presenter Maya Jama declared – and with that the new series of ITV’s Love Island kicked off. In a surprise turn of events the first episode shocked viewers with a twist within the first few minutes of airing.
Unlike previous years where boys and girls entered the villa separately the summer 2023 series began with boys and girls arriving at the same time. Just as new Islanders Ruchee Gurung and Jess Harding were getting to know each other they were interrupted by the arrival of Mitchel Taylor.
“It’s so weird there are boys and girls!” Jess said and viewers over on social media were quick to agree. What did you think of the format change? Let us know in the comments.
