When will Casa Amor start on Love Island 2022 and how many are in the line-up?

Things are getting rather dramatic in the Love Island villa but viewers are still keen for the return of the show's biggest twist. Casa Amor, which translates to Love House in Spanish, sees the Islanders take on their biggest test as relationships are pushed to the limit.

Each year the boys and girls are split up with one half of the contestants moving to a separate villa where they are joined by a new batch of singletons. Those remaining at the original villa are also joined by new contesants.

Casa Amor is often at the centre of the show's most dramatic scenes as couples are tested and new love is found. After a few days the Islanders must choose to stick with their current partner or choose to couple up with a new contestant, without knowing what their other half has decided.

But is Casa Amor returning this year, when will it take place and how many will be in the line-up? Here's everything you need to know.

When will Casa Amor start on Love Island 2022?

ITV bosses haven't actually confirmed yet whether Casa Amor will make a return in 2022. But an insider at ITV told The Sun that it's due to be back on July 4.

They said: " “Just when the Islanders start to get comfortable in their couples, they are going to get a real shock as they are torn apart.

“This year’s Casa Amor promises to be the most explosive yet thanks to some seriously fiery characters, who have already shown their heads can be turned. Everything is in place, but the date could change at the last minute if bosses decide they can ramp up the drama at an earlier or later moment.”

However, a Love Island spokesperson said: “This is purely speculation.”

Who is in the Casa Amor line-up 2022?

There are usually twelve Casa Amor contestants, six boys and six girls. This was the case in 2019, 2020 and 2021, so it's likely to follow a similar pattern when and if it returns in 2022.

Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
