Love Island is a British dating reality show. It is a revival of the earlier series of the same name, which aired for two series in 2005 and 2006, respectively, on ITV. The new series is presented by Caroline Flack,[1] narrated by Iain Stirling, who also occasionally presents the show alongside Flack often on elimination nights, and launched on 7 June 2015 live on ITV2. Unlike the original series, the contestants are members of the public rather than celebrities. The show returned for a second series on 30 May 2016 which ended on 11 July 2016.[2]

On 11 July 2016, ITV confirmed that Love Island had been recommissioned for a third series to air in 2017.[3][4]

The first series of the newly revived show la began on 7 June 2015 with a live special of the show hosted by Caroline Flack where the contestants entered the villa and were immediately coupled up. Pictures of the villa were unveiled on 5 June 2015.[5] The contestants for the first series were revealed on 2 June 2015, just days before the launch.[6] The series ended on 15 July 2015, with Jessica Hayes and Max Morley the winners.[7]
