Love Island returns to our screens tonight as 12 sexy singletons head inside the villa searching for a summer romance.

The ITV2 dating show returns at 9pm and there looks set to be the usual mix of love triangles, bedroom trysts and messy breakups as contestants make their way to the island.

This year's crop of hopefuls include a Declan Rice body double, fire breather and Maura Higgins lookalike and Maya Jama will once again be at the helm after joining the popular dating series in January 2023.

This year, the show celebrates a decade on screens and promises to have 'more twists and turns than ever before' in honour of their 10-year anniversary.
