Maya Jama says public will choose couples in first Love Island vote

Love Island fans will be given the chance to vote for which contestants will be paired up before the new summer series launches.

Host Maya Jama appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain this morning telling viewers: “A very big surprise – the public has all the power. So for the first episode, you guys are going to decide who couples up, you vote and we listen."

In previous series the contestants have made their own decisions on who to couple up with, but the public were given the power to decide for the first time last year. This year, viewers will be given the power to choose who is coupled up with who in the first episode.
