While the rest of us were hiding indoors with our heads rammed in our freezers in a bid to escape the apocalyptic UK heat, Love Island 2022's Islanders were soaking up the sun and partying it up outside of the villa at Vibe Club.
As they arrived at the VIP club, they were greeted to a set from superstar DJ Joel Corry, who bashed out his hit Head & Heart - to which the Islanders bopped along to in super sexy slo-mo. For god's sake, producers, slip these lethargic things a Red Bull every now and again.
Despite the show's endless controversy, the reality is, virtually everything that appears on it turns to gold: sunglasses, bikinis, Adam Collard and now former Geordie Shore star turned celeb DJ, Joel Corry.
