Like you, we've a list as long as our arm of things we miss right now. Nando's. We really miss actually sitting in at Nando's. AFTER WORK DRINKS. Oh, what we wouldn't do for a cocktail tree with the girlies down Slug & Lettuce. Do you know what? We even think we're starting to miss the morning commute at this point. Maybe.

But - above all else - we're really craving a new series of Love Island. Don't get us wrong, The Cabins is keeping us entertained and is perfect demolish-the-snack-cupboard telly, but Love Island's just the OG.

Now, do you want the good news or the bad news first? 'THE GOOD,' you say? Well...Love Island is officially returning to screens this summer.

The bad? Only in South Africa.
