Updated on

The latest series of Love Island certainly took a few weeks to get going, but once it did there's been drama every single night. Whether it's Paige Turley and Finn Tapp's cute little love story, Callum Jones' head turning at Casa Amor, or Ollie Williams quitting the show to be with his ex, there's been a LOT of talking points.

But as the final few bombshells enter, ITV have now confirmed when the final of the South African version will take place, and it's not long 😭.

Of course, the current series has seen a lot of changes. Not only is the villa out in South Africa, Laura Whitmore is currently presenting the show after usual host Caroline Flack was arrested and charged with assault back in December.

Despite this, viewers have been loving Laura presenting the show, with many calling for her to become the permanent presenter.

Meanwhile, being the only official couple in the villa at the moment, Paige and Finn are favourites to win the 2020 series, with Siânnise Fudge and Luke T also in the running.

With the current series coming to an end very shortly, applications for the hugely-anticipated Summer series are now open, but the show isn't going to last as long as usual.

It's been announced this week that series seven will only run for six weeks, instead of the usual eight weeks.
