The tenth series of Love Island is in full swing - and after just two episodes - viewers think they already know which couple is going to take the crown. The hit ITV dating show returned to screens on Monday night (June 5) with a fresh batch of singletons hoping to fall in love in the Majorcan villa.
The summer series is being hosted by Maya Jama for the second time after she took over former host Laura Whitmore for the 2023 winter series. The first episode began with a format change which saw a selection of the male and female contestants meeting first ahead of coupling up.
At the end of the episode, it was revealed that bombshell Zachariah Noble would have just 24 hours to choose who he would like to couple up with - meaning he would have to 'steal' a girl from one of the original boys.

After getting to know each of the girls, Tuesday night's episode then saw Zachariah pick Catherine Agbaje to couple up with, leaving Andre Furtado single.
But aside from the bombshell drama, viewers think they've already sussed out who is going to win the series.
Fans have picked up on the budding chemistry between gas engineer Mitchel Taylor, 26, and musical theatre performer Molly Marsh, 21, after viewers paired them together on the first day.
Since then, the couple have been getting to know each other and at the end of Tuesday's show, they shared a cuddle and kiss in bed.
But it was another detail that viewers picked up on that has lead them to believe the pair might take the crown after just 48 hours in the villa.
After climbing into bed, Molly showed Mitchel her cuddly toy she'd brought into the villa and told her new partner its name was Plop - and fans quickly noted how Molly was echoing the tradition first started by Molly-Mae Hague with her toy elephant Ellie Belly.
@antoinette213 tweeted: "Not molly trying to be the OG Molly with the soft toy. Guurrrll.. #LoveIsland."
@JadeneAngela said: "Noooo Molly really came in here to do Molly Mae part 2. Brought a cuddly toy and everything. Darling that is straight plagiarism."
@AmyRxddell claimed: "Nahhh Molly’s brought the cuddly toy with the goofy name she knows EXACTLY what she’s doing."
And it seems that many fans have chosen the couple as their winners already.
