After almost a year of waiting our prayers have finally been answered and a new series of Love Island is well under way, with a brand new batch of Islanders ready to find love.
We’re predicting the next ten weeks to be full of grafting, crackin’ on, getting the ick, new fit bombshells, pulling each other for chats and maybe, just maybe, some lucky people might just last the distance.
Despite our goal to be sat on our sofas watching Love Island at ITV2 at 9pm, sometimes that just isn’t the case and that’s where the ITV Hub comes in. It's where you can catch up almost minutes later and avoid all the social media spoilers.
So, when does Love Island go on the ITV Hub?
And what is the case if it doesn't?
When does Love Island go on the ITV hub?
Episodes of Love Island, which usually air on ITV2 at 9pm - we'll update you with any changes, don't worry - are set to be uploaded on ITV Hub as soon as the show has wrapped. The live finale is the only exception as live shows take about two hours to upload.
"We want you to be able to watch our shows when it suits you, so we aim to get them onto the ITV Hub as soon as possible. Many shows, such as the soaps, dramas, and documentaries will be available to watch just after they’ve finished on TV," say ITV.
"However, live shows like This Morning, The X Factor and sports matches may take a little longer but should be available a couple of hours after they’ve finished."
How long do episodes of Love Island stay on ITV hub for?
If you've missed an episode of Love Island, or even several (shame on you), don't feel rushed to catch up, as episodes will stay online for two months after they are initially available on the ITV Hub.
Although we'd recommend watching them asap to avoid spoilers.
CHECK OUT: Islanders who recoupled outside the villa
Love Island stars who have recoupled outside the villa slider
1 of 19Yewande Biala and George Rains
Yewande Biala and George Rains were not even in the villa at the same time but outside they seem to be having a whale of a time. Fans were buzzing in August when the Casa Amor star appeared to have Yewande's makeup all over his face.
2 of 19Laura Anderson and Max Morley
Months after Paul Knops dumped her, Laura Anderson moved on and started dating Love Island 2015 winner Max Morley. However the pair have been on-off since then and in July 2019 they called it quits.
3 of 19Kieran Nicholls and Chloe Crowhurst
Two months after Love Island 2018 ended it came to light that Casa Amor star Kieran Nicholls (who lasted on the show for three days) and 2017 contestant Chloe Crowhurst had recoupled outside the villa. It didn't last though because days later he pied her in a brutal public announcement. Ouch.
4 of 19Lucie Donlan and Joe Garratt
They (not the public) branded themselves as 'Juicy' but when Joe Garrett was booted from the villaviewers were shocked that Lucie Donlan didn't follow him. Instead she coupled up with George in Casa Amor and then dumped him before being kicked out the villa alongside him. Weeks after the Love Island 2019 final and Lucie and Joe confirmed on Instagram that 'Juicy' was back together.
5 of 19Arabella Chi and Wes Nelson
Arabella Chi was mugged off by Danny Williams who appeared to be devastated when she left the villa but he quickly bounced back with Jourdan Riane. Luckily the model got over him with Love Island 2018 finalist Wes Nelson and she was recently slated for 'PhotoShopping' a photo alongside her new man.
6 of 19Jon Clark and Chloe Crowhurst
If you cast your mind back to Love Island 2015 you'll remember when Jon Clark famously proposed to Hannah Elizabeth. It didn't last (bless them) and he went on to star on TOWIE. Fast forward a couple of years and he dated Chloe Crowhurst but after the Love Island 2017 line-up was announced he publicly slammed her and revealed they were dating. After she left the villa they briefly reunited before calling it quits.
7 of 19Jon Clark and Elma Pazar
Okay so this one hasn't actually happened but Jon Clark apparently has his eyes set on Elma Pazar. We don't blame him tbh, she's an absolute babe.
8 of 19Kem Cetinay and Kendall Rae-Knight
Days after being the first dumped Love Island 2018 star, Kendall Rae Knight was apparently spotted kissing 2017 winner Kem Cetinay. Although Kem insisted they're just friends.
9 of 19Niall Aslam and Rosie Williams
Love Island fans were devastated when Niall Aslam left the villa after eight days but a few weeks later there was a lot of speculation that he was dating Rosie Williams.
10 of 19Charlie Frederick and Lucie Donlan
Charlie Frederick didn't get the best of chances in the Love Island 2018 villa; he was partnered with the iconic Hayley Hughes but they were quickly dumped. When the 2019 series started Charlie slammed Lucie and said she's "most definitely not looking for love". Lucie didn't take it lightly and clapped back at him.
11 of 19Charlie Frederick and Arabella Chi
Charlie also got with Arabella before she entered the villa. He actually claimed that the model was a 'liar' and hinted they were still dating even when she went into the villa. After being booted from Love Islandshe branded him an 'idiot' and said they had blocked each other before she went on the reality show.
12 of 19Kaz Crossley and Theo Campbell
We really thought Kaz Crossley and Josh Denzel were going to last but alas they didn't. A few months after announcing their split Kaz announced on Instagram that she moved on with 2017 legend Theo Campbell. They since shared cute snaps on social media.
13 of 19Jess Shears and Dom Lever
So Jess and Dom were happily coupled up in the villa but when the boys voted for her to leave they were both left devastated… Dom wasn't that upset though because he didn't follow her. Then there were reports that something went down with Mike Thalassitis but after Dom left Love Island he reunited with Jess, the pair got married and are set to welcome their baby into the world this year.
14 of 19Sam Gowland and Amber Davies
Love Island and Geordie Shore fans were stunned when Chloe Ferry claimed that her ex-boyfriend Sam cheated on her with Amber. Dramz. Sam and Amber have both denied the accusations but Chloe has insisted they're true.
15 of 19Wes Nelson and Amber Davies
In January 2019 following all that Dancing on Ice drama with Vanessa Bauer, Wes Nelson and Megan Barton Hanson split. However a couple of months later there were reports that Wes had been 'sexting' 2017 winner Amber Davies. Then on Celebs Go Dating, Amber claimed he had been messaging another Love Island star before she appeared to brand Amber a "snakey b-tch" on Instagram. Following the whole Amber/Sam allegations, Megan wrote: "Imagine moving like that and lying to numerous heartbroken girls that you ain't sh-gged their ex!"Amber denied the rumours in an emotional tweet.
16 of 19Eyal Booker and Kendall Rae Knight
Tbf, these two did share a little kiss on the main show, but then things got hella steamy and a little weird tbh in the reunion show when they snogged in a swimming pool. Nothing long term came of it.
17 of 19Ellie Brown and Michael Griffiths
Michael and Ellie got together during MTV's Celebrity Ex On The Beach. They both said they were single as the show ended but then posted cute pictures together on social media. However, that came grinding to a halt when Michael started posting cute pictures with other women too.
18 of 19Rebecca Gormley and Biggs Chris
Beauty queen Rebecca chose to couple up with Jordan Waobikeze instead of Biggs in the Love Island villa, following her failed romances with Connagh Howard, Wallace Wilson and Luke Trotman. She clearly regretted her decision though as she coupled up with Biggs just weeks after being dumped and returning to the UK. Despite cheating rumours on both sides, they're still going strong.
19 of 19Luke Mabbott and Lucie Donlan
Romance blossomed for the couple in summer 2020 and they 'confirmed' their relationship status when they shared the same photo (of a hot tub) to Instagram. As is the modern way.

Did the ITV Hub crash on Love Island launch night?
Last year, thanks to many people trying to watch Love Island and the France vs Switzerland Euros match at the same time, ITV Hub had a little bit of trouble trying to accommodate them all.
Viewers took to Twitter to voice their concerns, saying, "As if ITV Hub has crashed."
"ITV HUB NEEDS TO BEHAVE!! WHAT IS THIS BUFFERING ABOUT?" shouted another fan.
The ITV Hub official Twitter account then issued a message reassuring users they were aware of the issues.
"We are currently experiencing technical difficulties and working on getting services back as soon as possible."
The issue soon got sorted, phew and luckily, there are no major sporting event clashes with Love Island this year.
