Whilst the starry faces looking for love often are taken abroad by the agents for a love-filled trip at the end of the series, in a major shake-up, they were flown to the White Isle after just one mixer - and were forced to take a date with them.
On the E4 show, viewers were treated to a look inside the fabulous villa housing the stars for their first attempts at finding love in the sunshine.
Christine McGuinness, Kerry Katona, Jon Lee, Louis Russell and Olivia Hawkins will be staying in the Ibiza villa for the week and will head out on dates with their chosen match from the very first mixer in London.
The luxury abode comes complete with five spacious bedrooms - each fitted with a double bed in case the celebs decide to take things a step further with their dates.
There's even a swimming pool for them to relax in as well as balconies from their bedroom's - perfect for spying on their fellow celebs and their dates by the pool.
In scenes broadcast last night, viewers saw Kerry racing to pick her perfect room as well as Too Hot To Handle heartthrob Louis making sure he had plenty of space in his bed for any saucy activities.
However, one star that won't be staying in the villa for too long is former model and TV personality Christine.
The Real Housewives of Cheshire star opted to quit the series during her stay in Ibiza after feeling uncomfortable with dating publicaly.
Christine, who split from husband Paddy three years ago, has been open about her sexuality and expressed a desire to focus on dating women during her time at the Agency.
However, during the first mixer, she could be seen visibly distressed as she struggled with the chaotic social environment and having to make moves on the women.

In a statement released earlier this year, Christine said: 'I joined Celebs Go Dating with great intentions but have realised that dating on a public platform and the attention that brings is just too soon for me.
'They've said the door is always open for me, which I'm so grateful for, but for now I'm returning home to my family.'
A Celebs Go Dating spokesperson added: 'We have loved having Christine on the show and completely respect her feelings and decision to return home and have told her that the door is always open for her in the future at the agency.'
Speaking during the first episode of Celebs Go Dating, Christine said: 'I feel like I'm a couple of steps away from being my new self and not 'Paddy's wife'. I'm coming out of the transition part.

'I am single and I absolutely do love women. I'd love to explore that more and I definitely see that's where I'm more comfortable.'
She added: 'When I was a teenager, I dated men and women before I was married and now I'm really, really just enjoying spending time with women.
'For the last three years, I've only ever dated women. I was never heterosexual, I've never labelled myself anything other than Christine, to be honest.'
Since announcing their shock split in July 2022, Christine has been romantically linked to singer Chelcee Grimes and model, rapper and DJ Roxxxan.
Elsewhere, things have began to heat up between Olivia and Louis on the show.
Although stars are forbidden from dating one another, the reality stars have found themselves drawn to one another with sparks already beginning to fly.
Celebrity romances are famously outlawed after Joey Essex and Stephanie Pratt fell for each other on the first series.
However, both Frankie Cocozza and Charlotte Dawson found themselves drawn to each other during filming as did Tom Zanetti and Sophie Hermann.
