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 on ITV. The new series is presented by Caroline Flack, 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.
On 11 July 2016, ITV confirmed that Love Island had been recommissioned for a third series to air in 2017.
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. The contestants for the first series were revealed on 2 June 2015, just days before the launch. The series ended on 15 July 2015, with Jessica Hayes and Max Morley the winners.
The couples were chosen shortly after the contestants entered the villa. After all of the boys entered, the girls were asked to choose a boy to pair up with. Jonathan was paired with Hannah, Chris was paired with Danielle, Omar and Rachel paired up, Joshua and Lauren coupled up, whilst Jessica paired herself with Jordan and Luis got with Zoe. They were competing in their pairs for £50,000. However, throughout the series the couples swapped and changed.
Official ratings are taken from BARB but do not include +1.
On 14 February 2016, it was confirmed that Love Island would return for a second series due to air later in the year, and that Flack and Stirling would be back to present. The show returned on 30 May 2016. The contestants for this series were revealed on 24 May 2016, just a week before the launch. The live final of the series aired on 11 July 2016.
