Forget bottomless brunches and picnics in the park, we've officially cancelled all of our plans for the next two months and are ready to get absorbed into the brand new series of Love Island. We've waited over a year for this, folks.
Yep, the wait is finally over – tonight is the night Laura Whitmore walks into that villa and helps couple up the ten single Islanders. We're very aware that there will be so many recouplings to come, but there's nothing like the first one, right? Who will be picked first? Who will be on the sub bench? Will there be any awkward 'oh I'm going to step forward for someone else, actually' moments?
Without further ado, here's your first look at the VERY first episode of Love Island 2021.
