On social media, fans have been sharing their excitement at the prospect of another two months of drama.
“On the 28th June at 9pm, my feminist self will sadly pass away in light of the new series of Love Island,” one person joked.
“Love Island better bring the drama this year because Matt Hancock’s recoupling has set the bar high,” one widely shared tweet read, referring to the recent scandal surrounding the former health secretary and his aide, Gina Coladangelo.
“Thinking about when they got Craig David to DJ on Love Island and Anton cried,” another reminisced of the last series.
One fan claimed: “Love Island is about to make 9-10pms great again.”
Many viewers compared the excitement of the night before the launch to Christmas Eve.
Laura Whitmore is presenting Love Island for a second series, with Iain Stirling providing the show’s sarcastic voiceover once more. You can find out more information about Love Island series seven here.

“We’re so grateful they’re letting us follow their journey this summer. We hope you enjoy the show, but please think before you post.”
