Love Island begins tonight at 9pm. Here's all you need to know . . .
Who will be the lucky castaways on the atoll of amour this year?It’s a summer rite of passage as old as time itself . Having cruelly left us to our own devices for the last 12 months, Love Island is back – complete with Irish presenter and Irish contestant. So squeeze into your lucky short-shorts, slap on some fake tan and get grafting by the pool as we bring you everything you need to know about this season of love in a warm climate.
“Firstly, Iain has never had attention on money he earns. Why don’t we like women earning money?” she said. “I bloody wish I earned what was written in the press! I only get paid days I work.”Love Island has gone eco-aware in 2022. The series has partnered with eBay and will furnish contestants with “pre-loved” clothes. For the first time ever, the show will also feature a “shared” wardrobe.
Love Island has also moved on from its stomach-churning food challenges, in which Islanders would pass items of food mouth to mouth. These trials had long grossed-out viewers and, as we settle into a post-Covid world, have very sensibly been dropped.Irish singletons have had a patchy time on Love Island. Maura Higgins, from Longford, parlayed her stint in the villa into a TV career. But Yewande Biala , from Enfield, Co Meath, has spoken out about racism on the show.
Love Island has in the past pledged to do better. This year, ITV, which produces the show, said participants would receive “training on how to avoid micro-aggressions as well as the use of appropriate language around race”.
