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.

But the line-up for this year's series has got us VERY excited. Just take a look...

What is Love Island Games?

It is a spin-off series of Love Island that features former Islanders from all over the world, including the UK, USA and France. The contestants must battle it out for the winning title and $100,000. Back in 2023, Liberty Poole, as well as Toby and a bunch of other UK contestants took part, with Love Island 2018 bombshell Jack Fowler winning the show alongside American babe Justine Ndiba.
