The new season of Love Island will begin tonight.
Maya Jama will welcome a new batch of singletons to the South African villa for the winter edition of the ITV programme. This year's lineup features a student from Liverpool as Tanya Manhenga is among the Islanders looking for love this season.
Love Island has been matching single people together since the ITV programme returned in 2015. The show has had mixed results with helping people find their one true love.

The ECHO has taken a look at the previous eight winning couples and whether they are still going strong after the show.
Season 8 - Davide Sanclimenti and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu
The popular couple were crowned last summer's winner. The two overcame a number of obstacles as they both almost had their heads turned during a dramatic time in the Majorcan villa.
However, the two are now stronger than ever as Davide supported Ekin-Su as she donned her skates for the first episode of Dancing On Ice last night. Ekin-Su was surprisingly voted to compete in the dance off, but Davide appeared on Good Morning Britain to offer some words of encouragement.
He said: "The fact that now she's in the skate-off, naturally she's a bit sad. Last night we had a long talk, but I know that she knows she's a strong woman, she's very determined, she knows what she wants, and I think this will now push her to be better week by week"
Season 7 - Millie Court and Liam Reardon

Millie Court and Liam Reardon went through a lot of drama to win the 2021 season of Love Island. The couple had a rocky patch when Liam kissed Lillie in Casa Amor, but, after a lot of grovelling, they reunited and were eventually crowned winners.
However, the romance did not last outside of the villa as they announced their split last year, with both Liam and Millie saying in their respective statements that they are "gutted" to part.

Fan favourites Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham won Season 4 of the show in 2018 - and seemed as though they had all the right ingredients to enjoy a long relationship. However, Jack confirmed he had split from Danny Dyer's daughter nine months later.

Despite now seemingly leading very separate lives, Kem sparked fans into a frenzy their romance could be rekindled when he liked a fan's comment on TikTok which suggested the pair should get back together.
