What is this years surprise twist?

Narrator Iain Stirling revealed the twist on ITV's Lorraine last week, saying: "I’m coming at you now with a big fat exclusive. We’re mixing things up this year I can tell you.

"This year, for the first year ever, we want you guys at home to play Cupid, and you will have your say which boy couples up with which girl. All you have to do is go over to the Love Island app right now and decide who you want to couple up with who.

"The poll is live right now, and the poll will close again tomorrow morning at 9am. It’s a fantastic poll, where you get to decide who’s being coupled up with who."

Love Island also confirmed the news, writing on social media: "For the first time ever, you get to have your say on who couples up on Day 1!

"Head to the app to play matchmaker and pick which boy you think should couple up with each girl. The polls will close at 9am Saturday."

Love Island resumes tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
