Season eight of Love Island begins on Virgin Media Two tonight as this year's singletons enter the villa in the hopes of finding love and possibly a life-changing brand deal.
The show will air at 9pm and will run for its usual eight weeks.
Laura Whitmore will return once again to present the show after the Bray, Co. Wicklow native took over from Caroline Flack in 2020.

As always, Laura will be joined by her funny man husband, Iain Stirling, whose sarcastic voiceover is sure to bring a few laughs this season.

This year, the programme has looked to shake things up and has dropped its previous sponsor for a more sustainable approach.
The series has partnered with eBay to kit the islanders out in "pre-loved" clothes, and for the first time ever, the show will also feature a "shared" wardrobe.
There is also a change of location as the original villa in Majorca is unavailable, so production has relocated to the east of the island and a "large rustic stone villa".
And it seems Laura Whitmore won't be the only Irish person flying the flag on the popular show as Dami Hope from Dublin will too be entering the villa.
The 26-year-old is a microbiologist and said he had signed up out of a sense of adventure.
He said: "This year, I was kind of being more open to new things, and I think actually that's why I put myself out there to get some new experiences. Love Island is a different experience."

He is open-minded about a prospective partner, he adds. "If they had something they wanted to do or something they were passionate about, I'd make sure that, even if it's something I'm not talented at, I'd get talented at it just so it helps them. I'm really good at being in a team and actually looking after each other."
Here's a breakdown of the other islanders who will be joining Dami in the villa.
