Latest news on Love Island, covering contestants, couples, recouplings, Casa Amor, bombshells, dumpings, results and reaction from the ITV2 villa.

Love Island is one of British television's biggest reality dating shows, broadcast on ITV2 and streamed on ITVX. Each series follows a group of single contestants, known as 'Islanders', living together in a villa in Mallorca. They must couple up to survive, with the winning pair sharing a £50,000 cash prize decided by public vote.

Our feed brings you every twist from the villa, from shock recouplings and brutal dumpings to the arrival of new bombshells. Follow fan-favourite moments including Casa Amor, movie night and the heart rate challenge, plus news of the live final and the winning couple. We also cover the cast's lives after the show, including relationship updates, splits and brand deals.

The show has become a cultural phenomenon, spawning catchphrases, memes and huge social media followings for its stars. Companion programming includes the spin-off Love Island: All Stars, filmed in South Africa with returning former Islanders, and the discussion show Aftersun. The format has been exported worldwide, with versions including Love Island USA and Love Island Australia.

Love Island has also faced scrutiny and controversy. Questions over contestant welfare, aftercare and the pressures of sudden fame have prompted broadcaster ITV to strengthen its duty of care protocols. Episodes regularly attract Ofcom complaints, and debates continue about body image, diversity and the influence of social media on the show.

The programme began as a celebrity format in 2005 before being revived with non-famous contestants in 2015, becoming a ratings hit for ITV2. Its mix of romance, rivalry and unscripted drama has kept audiences hooked across more than a decade of series, including winter editions and all-star specials.
