It may be bitterly cold in the UK today, but Love Island is returning to our screens tonight, whether we like it or not.
Maya Jama will make her long-awaited debut as host, a role she was born to play, and we’ll get to know our new islanders at the first pairing up ceremony.
The boys are the first to arrive, and this time the females will choose which gentleman to pair up with.
‘Well boys, it is time to couple up,’ Maya tells the group – Shaq, Harris, Will, Ron and Kai
‘The girls will come in one by one and I’ll ask you to step forward if you fancy them.
‘Each girl will then decide which boy she wants to couple up with. It’s that simple. So who’s ready to meet our first girl?’
Tanya, Anna-May, Lana, Olivia, and Tanyel all make their way into the villa to meet the women.
‘We now have five lovely couples but will you stay together or will your heads be turned?’ Maya teases, before making a joke about her own love life.
‘Don’t forget finding your perfect match is never that simple, trust me I know…’
Of course, it’s not that simple, as a new bombshell who has been voted by the public to be the first arrival will come to ruffle some feathers.
Are we ready? Yeeeeessssssssss .
Love Island returns tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
