When is the Love Island reunion 2023?

Love Island: The Reunion will air at 9pm on Sunday, March 19 on ITV2 and ITVX. It will kick off live from the studio and air for one hour and 35 minutes, ending at 10:35pm.

The last episode will of course be presented by Maya Jama, who took over Love Island hosting duties from Laura Whitmore this year. She will be joined in the studio by Indiyah Polack and Sam Thompson who accompanied Maya during Love Island spin-off Aftersun every Sunday throughout season 9.

What to expect from Love Island: The Reunion 2023?

The reunion will see the 2023 Islanders reunite as they relive this year's most dramatic moments. Speaking about the reunion earlier this week, Swansea contestant Anna-May Robey predicted things could get heated.
