The start date for Love Island 2022 has been officially confirmed. The show has announced when it will be coming back with the words: "Here's your first hot date of the summer."
The forthcoming series of the dating show is to be set in a new villa in Majorca after the current property near Sant Llorenc des Cardassar, in the east of the Spanish island, reportedly became unavailable. Love Island returned to Majorca last year after a summer off due to the pandemic, with Liam Reardon and Millie Court crowned winners.
A post on Love Island's Twitter account on Tuesday (May 24) said: "Here's your first hot date of the summer. Love Island is back Monday 6th June on ITV2 and ITV Hub."
Laura Whitmore will be handling presenting duties again for what will be Love Island's eighth series. She took on the role of Love Island host in 2020 from the late Caroline Flack, who presented the first five series.
Whitmore has presented many shows over the years, including Survival Of The Fittest. She also replaced Spice Girl Mel B as a team captain on ITV’s comedy panel game Celebrity Juice in 2020.
Last week it was revealed that Love Island contestants will wear second-hand clothes while appearing in this year's series, it has been announced. Islanders will have a shared wardrobe in their villa for the first time, stocked with garments provided via a new partnership with eBay.
