Love Island 2022 is back - with a start date of Monday, June 6, according to reports.
A brand new location has been announced for the ITV show, which will showcase even more romance and fun in the sun.
Contestants are apparently already being lined up to take part and Laura Whitmore has previously been confirmed as the host.
Her husband Iain Stirling will provide the voiceovers for the smash hit dating show as usual.
A source told the Sun: "Love Island is coming back with a bang and it will begin on the second full week in June.
"The schedules are being put together now and fans can expect a long, hot summer of fun from the villa from June 6, filming for the promotional adverts is beginning in the next couple of weeks and the ads will start in May."
The insider added to The Sun : "This series is going to be the longest ever and it’s from a brand new location so it’s all very exciting."
ITV said in February that a 'brand new villa' had been chosen for the new season of the show.
They said in a statement: "The ultimate Summer of love is on the horizon as Love Island makes it's long awaited return, direct from a brand new villa in Mallorca. Applications are currently open for singletons looking for a long, hot Summer…"
Amongst the first names being touted as possible contestants by ITV2 bosses is said to be Sophie Draper, 22, who had a four year romance with Aston Villa right-back Matty Cash, 24.
It's claimed Love Island bosses thought she was the "perfect fit" for the show.
An insider said: "She has her own beauty salon and already leads a jet set lifestyle, which she likes showing off on Instagram, so she wouldn’t be fazed by being on TV."
