Dust off those bikinis and grab yourself some factor 50 – Love Island is back for another long, hot summer of fun.
After airing its second winter series in South Africa earlier this year, the dating show is back this summer in Mallorca, with presenter Maya Jama at the helm.
You can meet the islanders spending their summer in the villa here.
Love Island airs Sunday to Friday at 9pm on ITV2, with episodes ranging in length but sitting around the hour mark.
In place of a standard episode on Saturdays, ITV2 shows the compilation spin-off Love Island: Unseen Bits at 10pm.
When does Love Island 2023 air?
Love Island airs Sunday to Friday at 9pm on ITV2.
How long does Love Island last for?
Love Island’s 2023 summer series is expected to run for eight weeks as usual. Should the series follow the usual pattern, the grand final is expected to take place on 30 July.
If previous instalments are anything to go by, the final four couples will have visits from their families before the winners are crowned and given the chance to share or steal the £50,000 prize.
Both series this year have seen Jama replace Laura Whitmore as host, after she quit in 2022. Whitmore’s husband, comedian Iain Stirling, narrates the series as normal.
