Love Island 2023 has been full of drama, explosive recouplings and romance since the popular ITV2 dating show returned to screens. This year fans of the show get a double billing with the winter edition starting in January and the summer series making a comeback as usual later this year. Now the winter series has ended, with Kai Fagan and Casa Amor bombshell Sanam Harrinanan being crowned winners, fans won't have to wait long for the return of the summer series.
Season 9 kicked off on Monday, January 16 in a brand-new luxury villa in South Africa, with presenter Maya Jama at the helm for the very first time. Thousands of viewers tuned in every week - with the final episode of the latest series airing on Monday, March 13. Original Islanders included payroll administrator Anna-May Robey from Swansea, Michelle Keegan body double and Bond star Olivia Hawkins, farmer and TikTok star Will Young, and student and influencer Tanya Manhenga.
Also in the 2023 line-up from the start were science and PE teacher Kai Fagan, makeup artist Lana Jenkins, financial advisor Ron Hall, hair stylist Tanyel Revan, airport security officer Shaq Muhammad, and TV salesman Haris Namani. You can read the full Love Island 2023 line-up here.
