Love Island

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 2015 and 2016 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 June 7, 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 May 30, 2016 which ended on July 11, 2016. On July 11, 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 began on June 7, 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 June 5, 2015. The contestants for the first series were revealed on June 2, 2015, just days before the launch. The series ended on July 15, 2015, with Jessica Hayes and Max Morley the winners.
