The arrival of the new year also brings the long-awaited return of ITV2 dating show Love Island. The latest series, which aired last summer, was won by Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti.
Ekin-Su and Davide have gone on to star in their own travel show and Ekin-Su will also take part in Dancing on Ice in the new year.
The most recent series also marked the end of host Laura Whitmore’s time on the show. She took over as presenter following the tragic death of Caroline Flack in 2020. Upon leaving Love Island, Laura said: “There are certain elements of the show I’ve found very difficult that cannot be changed due to the format, including the flying back and forth to South Africa along with my new conflicting projects. I wish it was still possible but know you’ll be in safe hands. I was only planning to fill in for Caroline for a series and it turned into 3 series. I hope I did you proud Caroline.”
