Love Island 2022: When is the reunion special on and what can we expect?

Love Island isn't quite over yet. Since favourites, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti were announced king and queen of the island, it's been a whirlwind week since landing back on UK soil.

Fans have eagerly been keeping up to date with what's going on with our favourite couples on social media. But tonight's big reunion special will really dish the dirt on what happened inside, and outside, of the villa.

Filmed earlier in the week, already we've seen some fallout from the gang getting back together. Runners-up Luca Bish and Gemma Owen are said to have had a falling out on the way home, while some preview pictures of the episode show shocked islanders in a showdown.

When is the Love Island reunion on and how can I watch it?

The Love Island series eight reunion will take place tonight (August 7) from 9pm on ITV2 or ITV Hub. ITV is said to have filmed the show with host Laura Whitmore on Thursday night (August 4).

What can we expect to see?

With all the islanders back, with the exception of former rugby star Jacques O'Neill, tempers are bound to flare. An audience member told The Mirror that carnage is on the cards and producers were forced to step in.

According to onlookers, Coco and Summer got into a “heated exchange”, which fans now think is a result of Coco's recent comments about Summer's boyfriend and former Islander Josh Le Grove on the Saving Grace Podcast.

Taking to social media, an audience member tweeted: "Just been at the Love Island reunion episode filming, very heated exchange between Coco and Summer production had to step in and close it down.

“Summer made a comment about friends not being real friends on the outside, and Coco was trying to defend herself by saying 'It was all banter' kept going back and forth over the boys (Josh & Billy) for a fair few minutes, production obvs had no idea of context from podcast ep.”

When will Love Island return?

Viewers won’t have to wait too long for the next series of Love Island. The reality dating show will be back with a winter edition in early 2023, filmed in South Africa.

An official date has not been announced yet for Winter Love Island. But ITV has revealed there will be two series next year – with the Mallorca villa back for summer 2023.
