The 12th season of Love Island is back this month, making its debut on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm on Monday, June 9 - hot on the heels of the second series of Love Island All Stars which was broadcast earlier in the year.
Hosted by Maya Jama and back On the Spanish island of Mallorca, Series 12 marks a decade since the show first hit screens in 2015.
Since then it has been streamed more than a billion times and is regularly the most watched programme for those aged 16-34.
Scottish comedian Iain Stirling will once again be voicing as Islanders battle it out in the UK's biggest dating show.
Show chiefs promise viewers should 'get set for a summer full of twists and turns. From bombshell arrivals to surprise dumpings, Islanders in sun-drenched Mallorca must truly expect the unexpected.'
There's already been controversy, with Kyle Ashman dropped from the villa after reports emerged linking him with a violent incident.
And there's some Scottish interest this year, with 23-year-old Glaswegian wealth management client services executive Alima Gagigo taking part.
And, as well as the prospect of finding true love, there's also the small matter of the £50,000 prize for the last couple standing.

Eduardo Arroyo's ‘Painted Biography' is the new exhibition in Cascais Cultural Centre
The Cascais Cultural Centre opens 'A Painted Biography' on Friday, June 6th – a dedicated exhibition celebrating Eduardo Arroyo, an unmissable figure in 20th-century Spanish art. Organised by the D. Luís I Foundation and Cascais City Council as part of the Bairro dos Museus programme, the show runs until September 7th. Eduardo Arroyo (1937–2018) was known for work steeped in social and political critique, always delivered through a vivid figurative visual language packed with nods to popular culture. Over more than six decades, his practice spanned painting, sculpture, stage design, and illustration, marked by bold colours and powerful symbolism. Curated by Marisa Oropesa, the exhibition features over 40 pieces created from the mid-60s through to 2018. The title echoes Arroyo's own words about his approach: 'In truth, painting is an autobiographical process. You're constantly painting your life… there is, undoubtedly, a very close relationship with one's own life. It's a painted biography.' The works gathered for this exhibition come from private collections and major Spanish institutions such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Villanueva de los Infantes, and the Colección Azcona. Highlights include El último exilio (1963), Los cuatro dictadores (1963), and Robinson Crusoe (1966) – all from the Reina Sofía's collection – alongside pieces where Arroyo experiments with collage techniques and pays tribute to European literary and cultural references. The exhibition traces the various phases of the artist's career, from his years in exile in Paris – due to his opposition to Franco's dictatorship – to a later, more intimate and ironic production, engaging with literature, cinema, history, and music. According to curator Marisa Oropesa, 'an essential element in Arroyo's iconography is undoubtedly Spanish folklore, to which he gives a new meaning.'

Love Island 2025 first look with huge new twist and format change
Love Island launches tonight as 12 brand new islanders hope to find love in the Mallorcan villa this summer Love Island is back tonight on ITV2 with 12 brand new sexy singletons hoping to find love in the Mallorcan villa this summer. Here is your sneak peek into the launch episode before the show hits screens at 9pm. The episode kicks off with the girls - Shakira, Meg, Alima, Sophie, Megan and Helena - entering the newly refurb villa first, without any boys, as they all get to know one another. The conversation soon turns to dating as they each express their excitement to meet the single boys and start shouting for them to enter the villa. They don't have long to wait as host Maya Jama arrives and takes them to the fire pit for a chat. Getting straight to the point, Maya asks them what each of their types are, as Shakira starts by stating: "Tall, muscly, nice smile but for me it's all about personality. Witty, funny, charming." Helena laughs as she adds: "Personality always, my bar is low, I'm not fussy!" while payroll specialist Meg teases that she wants: "Tanned skin, taller and naughty eyes." 29-year-old Sophie says: "I want someone that's a gentleman, not a man child," while aspiring actress Megan jokingly adds: "I'm easily charmed, which is the problem…" Scots contestant Alima is headset in what she wants: "A Prince Charming Disney Prince… with no facial hair." Maya then announces a shocking change to the show's format, giving the girls the decision on who they want to couple up with based on their dating profiles. She reveals: "This year things are slightly different. You've told me what your type on paper is, but does that match your ideal man in reality? Come and join me by the pool." As the girls line up, Maya explains: "Girls, in front of you there are six love hearts and each boy has given me their dating profile which is written on each of these hearts - shall we have a look at what these boys have to offer?" On the boards, the girls see descriptions for this year's boys - Ben, Dejon, Harry, Conor, Blu and Tommy. They have to decide who they'd like to couple up with based on these key stats with the boy's names, age, job and a headline such as "I like to play hard and work harder! I love to play, so I work very hard". After chatting about the profiles and guessing who might be their perfect match, Maya counts them down - three, two, one - and the girls race to claim a heart. Only one girl can stand by each heart, so it's first come, first served. With just moments to choose, will everyone end up with the boy they wanted? or will there be instant regrets, leaving the girls eager to swap? Now it's the boys turn. With the girls locked in, they enter the villa one by one to discover who chose them. Will sparks fly right away - or did the girls rush into their decision? In another turn of events, Love Island UK has their first ever American bombshell. As Toni swaps Sin City for the Island of Majorca. Just as the islanders are getting settled into their new couples and getting to know one another, Maya makes a shock return to the villa in the evening with the huge news. Gathering everyone at the fire pit, Maya reveals the day isn't over yet and someone new is already on their way. Out of nowhere, the Villa is rocked by the arrival of the series' first bombshell - Toni - who makes a jaw-dropping entrance into the villa. It doesn't take long for the islanders to clock her American accent, as she flashes a smile and cheekily announces: "Good evening UK! Surprise!" The group is left stunned by the American bombshell and the boys are clearly intrigued, while the girls start to feel the heat. Maya then delivers a game-changing twist: Toni hasn't just flown in from across the pond, she's also about to immediately steal one of the boys. With all eyes on her, and the power in her hands, Toni grins and coyly replies: "Interesting..." But the twists keep coming. Maya has one more announcement - and the clock is ticking for one Islander. The countdown has begun, and someone's time in the Villa might be up quicker than you can say señorita… Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV3 and ITVX.
