It’s been a whole 16 months since Love Island was last on our screens, but at 9pm on Monday night, the agonising wait finally comes to an end as Laura Whitmore welcomes 11 brand-new Islanders into the newly-refurbished villa.
And if social media is anything to go by, it seems like anticipation is at fever pitch...
Love Island begins on Monday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.

Please note that from Monday 28th June I will no longer be contactable from 8pm to 11pm. I know Love Island is only on from 9pm to 10pm but I need at least an hour to prepare myself & an hour after to scroll through all the new memes ? #LoveIsland

It’s #LoveIsland Day! If you have no joy in your heart, you may want to mute the hashtag or unfollow because I am about to flee from my feelings and the seriousness of the world by watching HOT PEOPLE FIND LOVE + INFLUENCER DEALS. ?

reminder: you can mute the #LoveIsland hashtag, so no need for catty comments later about being 'above that kind of thing', ok

Kinda glad love island is starting as it means I won’t be at the pub and might actually start saving money
