We know that the first series of Love Island: Games was a bit lacklustre (did anyone even watch it?); in fact, the most exciting thing about it was that exes Maura Higgins and Curtis Pritchard were reunited, as Maura had landed herself a presenting job on the dating show spin-off and Curtis was a contestant.

Other than that, it was Scott van-der Sluis' ninety millionth time on some sort of romance reality series and it didn't even air over here until it had come to an end.

That being said, the rumoured line-up for this year's series has us very interested indeed with some of the UK's most entertaining Islanders set to take part.

Here's everything we know about the spin-off series coming this MONTH...
