In total, there have been eight seasons of Love Island, with just one winter series airing in 2020. The winner of the only winter series was also the only Scottish contestant to have won, Paige Turley and her boyfriend Finn Tapp.
Could this be a sign from the Love Island gods that we could see another Scot take the crown? Only time will tell.
