Love Island has returned to our television screens this week, and fans are ready for their nightly fix of the ITV2 dating programme.
So, since the show is on every weeknight from now on for the next ten weeks, there is one question on every fans lips - why doesn't the show air on a Saturday night?
And no, it's not for the reason many people would think - everyone's out on a Saturday night, nobody would watch it!

Any loyal Love Island fan knows that all plans go out the window when the show starts in June, so there has been many a night out cancelled to watch people fall in love on television.
So, why doesn't the show air on a Saturday night?
The reason is extremely simple - it's so the cleaners can come in.
I mean come on, a group of young adults staying in a villa together? There's bound to be a few messy pups in the mix.
This also means that the cast do get one day off from filming the show - but they are told to keep chat strictly home life during this day, so producers don't miss any juicy gossip or blooming relationships.
Speaking on This Morning in 2021, season three winner Kem Cetinay said: "They give you one day off. You get one day off per week.
"What happens is, it gives them a day to clean the villa, and you take your mics off, and normally we go to the beach.

“So what happens is, when you take your mic off, you are not allowed to talk about anything to do with the show, you have to talk about home life.
“You are being watched by the producers, because they don’t want you to talk about what is going on.
"They are quite careful about what you talk about, because they want to keep it so everyone at home can see it.”
So there you have it, Love Island's ultimate secret is finally revealed!
Love Island resumes on Tuesday, June 7 at 9pm on ITV2.
