Love Island 2023 launch date revealed

Hit ITV2 reality show Love Island is returning to screens – and it’s going to be much sooner than you think!

ITV has announced today that the hugely popular dating show is returning on Monday, June 5 – that’s less than two weeks away!

The tenth season of the show will see Maya Jama return to host. Maya made her debut as the show’s host during the winter series earlier this year.

Iain Stirling will also be returning to narrate every episode – something he has done since the show launched in 2015.

Love Island 2023 launches in June

In a press release, ITV also revealed that the show is heading back to Spain, with the couples heading for a summer of love in Mallorca.

“Returning to ITVX and ITV2 in June, the Islanders must do their best to flirt, date and couple up in a bid to avoid being ‘dumped’ from the Island. With new arrivals, heads may turn, while others will prove their true feelings,” the press release read.

“.From romance and heart-to-hearts to betrayal, bombshells, and broken hearts, there’s never a dull moment in the ultimate search for love. More texts, fire pit gatherings and challenges await the lovestruck Islanders, meaning there’ll be plenty for them to dish the dirt on in the Beach Hut. Twists and turns will follow every step of the way, with shock recouplings, unexpected breakups and dramatic dumpings.”
