Love Island has finally announced when it’s set to return - and it’s much sooner than you think.

The ITV2 dating series is coming back for its 11th installment with new batch of sexy singletons searching for love.

The broadcaster has revealed that the upcoming series will launch on Monday, June 3 at 9pm for the first time on ITV’s main channel. It will then continue on ITV2 and ITVX for the remainder of the season.

Love Island: Aftersun will also return to screens live from London every Sunday on ITV2 and ITVX hosted by Maya Jama alongside an all star array of regular panellists.

Sam Thompson and Indiyah Polack will resume their roles joined by new pannelists Amy Hart, Chris Taylor and Jordan Stephens as they join celebrity guests to discuss all the goings on from the Villa this summer.

Indiyah Polack will continue to host Love Island: The Morning After podcast joined by Amy Hart and Chris Taylor every Tuesday to Saturday now available to watch visually for the first time ever.

Together they will be joined by a rotation of celebrity Love Island fans as well as the dumped Islanders fresh from the Villa to catch up on all the latest action.

Mike Spencer, Creative Director, Lifted Entertainment said: “We are thrilled that Aftersun is back, as the home for all of the exclusive Love Island chat and gossip this summer.

“We are very excited to have an A-list line up of talent with the brilliant Indiyah and Sam returning alongside Amy, Jordan and Chris all ready to spill the tea alongside the incredible Maya Jama. This summer really will be one to remember!”
