Love Island UK release schedule: Where and when to watch
It's almost that time. The Love Island Villa is just hours away from opening once again to a whole new group of singles looking for their summer of love, guaranteed to have us entertained as the show celebrates its 10th anniversary. And as the show marks a decade of cracking on, eggs in one basket and 'got a text', we reckon there's going to be plenty of surprises in store this season.
So before we start sharing theories and memes in the group chat, this is all the essential watching information you need, ahead of the series starting tonight, to ensure you don't miss a minute of grafting and pies.
Love Island airs every day of the week apart from Saturday nights. Following Sunday night's episode each week, Love Island: Aftersun will air where host Maya Jama will be joined by that week's dumped Islanders and the Aftersun panelists Sam Thompson, Indiyah Polack, Amy Hart and new additions Ash Holme and Joe Baggs to discuss that week's events in the villa.
Since Love Island first began the show has never aired a new episode on a Saturday night, instead a roundup of the not-yet-seen funny moments and outtakes from that week's filming is shown in an hour long episode called Unseen Bits.
Previous contestants have revealed we don't get to see a fresh new episode on Saturday because the Islanders get the day off from filming and cleaners head into the Villa to do a major clean.
"What happens is, it gives them a day to clean the villa, and you take your mics off, and normally we go to the beach," Kem Cetinay explained on This Morning back in 2017.
Every night Love Island will air at 9pm BST. Some nights the episodes will be exactly an hour long, others an hour and 5 mins, and in some instances, like tonight's launch show [9 June], the episode will be 90 minutes long.
Love Island will be shown on ITV2 and ITVX, with all episodes available for catchup on ITVX.
While not 100 per cent confirmed as of yet, Love Island usually runs for around eight weeks.
Love Island starts tonight on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm

Love Island's Georgia Harrison: 'I re-read my MBE letter three times'
The sexual abuse campaigner and former reality star Georgia Harrison has told the BBC she is "honoured" to be receiving an MBE. Harrison, 30, will be awarded for her efforts to tackle violence against women and girls, which includes working with the government on the Online Safety Act in 2023. She says she feels "a responsibility to help" the many women who are victims of crimes such as intimate image abuse and deepfaking. Her ex-partner Stephen Bear was jailed for 21 months in 2023 after uploading sexual footage of himself and Harrison to OnlyFans filmed without her consent. Harrison, who is being awarded her MBE as part of the King's Birthday Honours, said she had to re-read the letter she received from King Charles "three times" as she "just couldn't believe it". "It's definitely not something I anticipated and it feels nice to have my work recognised because with campaigning sometimes you feel like a lot goes unnoticed," she told the BBC. The former reality star appeared on ITV shows such as The Only Way is Essex in 2017 and Love Island in 2018, where she entered the villa as a bombshell and gained nationwide fame. It was during 2019 that she entered MTV's The Challenge, where she met fellow reality star Bear. The pair dated on and off for a few months, with Harrison discovering in December 2020 that the now 35-year-old Bear had uploaded intimate CCTV footage of them to streaming service OnlyFans without her consent. She subsequently reported the crime and Bear was sentenced after being found guilty of voyeurism and discussing private, sexual photographs and films. Harrison was then awarded compensation in a damages claim and said she would donate some of the £207,900 to charity. She says she often feels a "responsibility to help" as she worries about the increase of social media influencers fuelling misogyny and sexism. Harrison, who is currently expecting her first child, said: "I'd be scared to have a teenager right now, being completely honest, I really would be terrified". "We've seen with the rise of Andrew Tate and some men thinking the thing to do with women is to mistreat them and think they can do what they want with them," she said. She added she feels the need to let women know, "they deserve to be treated fairly, they deserve consent and the right to their own bodies". A recent poll of teachers in the UK found three in five believe social media use has had a negative effect on behaviour in schools - with Tate being named as a reason by a number of teachers in the poll. Harrison says she has been into some schools recently to watch consent workshops with primary school age children, describing them as "brilliant". She hopes that these type of lessons will have an impact for the next generation. "I'd like to think by the time my child gets to the age where consent becomes an issue, things are going to be a lot better, because we are doing something to educate around consent and that's something that's never really been done before in this generation," she added. Harrison says "on a positive note" women have told her case and "the strength you found" has encouraged them to take their perpetrators to court for causes of rape, domestic abuse and intimate image abuse. Since Bear's conviction in 2022, she has campaigned to increase the support for women and girls who have faced similar crimes to her by working on the Online Safety Act and as part of the Women and Equalities Committee. She says she has been working with the committee on improving timescales for women who want to report crimes against them - as currently they only have six months after a crime has taken place to tell the police about it. "It took me about four months to even realise a crime had been committed to me when it happened so its scary to think, had I been notified a few months later, I may not have had the right to justice. "It should be a lot easier for women out there," she added. Harrison says she has also been receiving more and more messages from victims of deepfakes, which are videos, pictures or audio clips made with AI to look or sound real. There have been recent concerns about schoolchildren using apps to distribute AI-generated deepfake content, despite the practice being illegal. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) - a UK-based charity partly funded by tech firms - said in February there had been 245 reports of AI-generated child sexual abuse in 2024 compared with 51 in 2023, a 380% increase. "I think [deepfake] technology is getting a lot more impressive and easier to access," Harrison said. Earlier this year, the government announced laws to tackle the threat of child sexual abuse images being generated by AI, which include making it illegal to possess, create, or distribute AI tools designed to create such material.

Love Island's Ben Holbrough had a hair transplant before the show: See before and after pictures
Love Island's Ben Holbrough has been the talk of this week's show thanks to his icky situ with Toni (read: his ego is through the roof). More recently, however, it's not his coupling that has people online talking, but a number of TikTok and Instagram videos that reveal he underwent a hair transplant before entering the villa. Shocking, much? Well, you've not seen the transformative before and after pictures, yet... Last year, at just 22 years old, the taxi driver from Gloucester underwent the hair transplant procedure at 360 Hair Clinic in Brighton. The clinic has shared multiple clips on social media showcasing his transformation, including a video taken six months post-surgery, highlighting fuller, thicker, and healthier-looking hair. "We developed a full post-treatment plan tailored specifically for Ben, combining in-clinic treatments and our 360 Optimum Hair products to protect the newly transplanted follicles, minimise shedding and promote healthy, long-term growth," the clinic wrote to caption one of their posts. We're pleased to see that the procedure has increased Ben's confidence and self-love! That said, Ben isn't the only boy from this year's cast of Love Island to have had a hair transplant. Semi-pro footballer Harry Cooksley also underwent a transformation in Istanbul, Turkey, at just 24 years old. Harry has previously said that he underwent the "perfect experience". The increasing openness among male reality TV stars about cosmetic procedures reflects a broader societal shift towards destigmatising such treatments. And while users on social media can be cruel, the reach that certain forums have has played a significant role in normalising discussions around hair loss and restoration, encouraging more and more individuals to speak about men's grooming and self-image. And we're all for this positivity! But beyond that, we have one final message for Ben: You better treat our girl Shakira well... This is an ick-free zone, my friend. Follow Lia on Instagram.

'The Traitors' Season 4 cast revealed: 2 Delaware figure skaters and an Eagles mom
The most treacherous show on reality TV is back with a whole new cohort. "The Traitors" revealed its Season 4 cast on June 13, according to a press release from Peacock. The lineup includes up stars from franchises like "Big Brother," "Love Island" and "The Real Housewives," as well as a certain celebrity football mom. There also will a few Delaware and Philadelphia-area connections too. The Emmy-winning series will see three-time national champion and two-time Olympian Johnny Weir, the Greenville resident who began competitive skating at 12 at the University of Delaware. Also the figure skating world, Tara Lipinski, who had periodically trained at UD before becoming the youngest figure-skating Olympic gold medalist when she won the women's singles at age 15, will also appear on the show. In line with the trend of having a celebrity relative on the cast − last season saw Zac Efron's brother Dylan Efron become one of its winners − the newest season will include Donna Kelce, the mother of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce. Viewers will have to wait for the season premiere before learning which contestants will be Faithfuls and which will be Traitors. And just like Season 2 and 3, there's a possibility more reality stars will be revealed later on. Here is who is officially on the Season 4 cast, according to Peacock.
