The girls - Shakira, Meg, Alima, Sophie, Megan and Helena - enter the stunning Mallorcan Villa first.
Excited to be in the hit dating show they quickly get to know one another.
But they are excited to meet the boys and it's not long before they start shouting for them to enter the Villa.
However, they don't have to wait for long as host Maya Jama arrives and takes them to the firepit for a chat.
Getting straight to the point, Maya asks them what each of their types are.
Shakira responds: '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!'
Meg teases that she wants: 'Tanned skin, taller and naughty eyes.'
Sophie says: 'I want someone that's a gentleman, not a man child.'
Megan says: 'I'm easily charmed, which is the problem…'
Maya Jama looks incredible as she dives in the sea in thong bikini
Alima says she's looking for: 'A Prince Charming Disney Prince… with no facial hair.'
Maya then has a big announcement, which shocks the girls as she explains: '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?"
She then asks the surprised girls to join her by the swimming pool.
And as the nervous girls line up, Maya explains: 'Girls, in front of you there are six love hearts.
"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.
And in a huge twist - the girls have to decide who they'd like to couple up with based on these key stats with the boys' name, age, job and a headline.
Quotes such as 'I like to play hard and work harder! I love to play, so I work very hard' are also given to help them decide who to pick.
The girls then have a moment to discuss the profiles and try to work out who might be right for them.
Then Maya counts to three and they must run to a heart, with only one girl allowed to stand by each heart.
With only seconds to make a decision, will they all get the boy they wanted? Or will the girls be left eager to swap?
Now it's over to the boys.
Decisions made, they enter the Villa one-by-one to meet their match - will it be love at first write or were the girls too quick to judge their type?
Plus look out for even more shock twists tonight as an Islander is dumped.

KATIE Price, 47, has revealed she likes to show her raunchy OnlyFans photos to her daughter Princess, 17, before she uploads them. The mum-of-five famously started her subscription channel back in 2022, when she wore a nun's habit and a sash reading 'My body my rules' at the launch event. 3 3 Earlier this year, Katie revealed exclusively to The Sun that she can earn 'around £50,000 on a good month'. However, until February 2027, the taxman will take 40% of this as part of her first bankruptcy order. Speaking about her raunchy account on Katherine Ryan's podcast, What's My Age Again, Katie revealed that she often gets feedback from her daughter. She told the Canadian comedian: "I show Princess and she's like, 'mum, that's so good, that picture'. This and that. "This is what's funny about Princess. This is probably why we get on.' She went on: "She does her days where she goes out and does her pictures for her Instagram and she's like, mum, can you get eight outfits for me? I said, what, your clothes? "No, your clothes. I went, why do you want to use my clothes? Because your style, you do it better. So, she uses my clothes for her Instagram pictures." Katie recently revealed that she had been encouraging Princess to sign up for Love Island. Speaking on the latest episode of her podcast The Katie Price Show, she said: 'I keep saying to Princess, 'why don't you do Love Island?'' Revealing her response, Katie continued: ''No… because otherwise I'll be known as a Love Islander'. I said, 'No you won't, everyone knows you anyway'.' An told The Sun how Princess and her ex - who never revealed his identity during the romance - split on good terms. A source said: "She always kept the romance out of the public eye and it will be the same with her split. "They just grew apart - they were each other's first love so it has been tough but there are no hard feelings. "He's still on good terms with both Katie and Peter. "Princess is really concentrating on her career right now and there's no place for a man.' Princess' ex has unfollowed her on social media but does still follow all of her family members. It's been a week of highs and lows for Princess, who revealed she'd passed her driving test and showed off her £10,000 car. She proudly declared in the caption: 'I bought my first car' but was hit with criticism by fans, who believe it was actually mum and dad Katie and Peter Andre who actually forked out the cash for it. But Princess has now put that speculation to bed, hitting back at the comments and declaring: 'These comments are so funny. "To everyone out there, yes I work and yes I earn my own money which I'm super proud of and so thankful that I'm lucky enough to buy my own car xx." 3

Love Island fans threaten to call Ofcom over results of brutal twist leave early favourite at risk
Some have made threats, but some have seemingly already logged complaints FURIOUS VIEWERS Love Island fans threaten to call Ofcom over results of brutal twist leave early favourite at risk LOVE Island fans have threatened to call Ofcom over the results of a brutal twist that has left an early favourite at risk. Maya Jama was at the helm of the ITV2 reality-dating show once again, and at the end of the show she left the villa in a state of shock. 6 Maya Jama headed up the series once again Credit: Eroteme 6 Toni entered the Love Island villa as the first ever American bombshell Credit: Eroteme 6 She stole Ben from Shakira Credit: Eroteme 6 Shakira was left single and vulnerable Credit: Eroteme 6 But fans reckon Alima could be vulnerable too Credit: Eroteme Maya delivered a huge bombshell when she entered the villa for a second time in episode one. Her bombshell was that a bombshell was arriving. American beauty Toni - who is the first ever bombshell from the United States - then arrived. The couples are stunned as Toni says: "Good Evening UK! Surprise!" They quickly worked out she is American and on being the first American bombshell Toni says: "Lucky girl, aren't I?" Maya then explained that Toni was to immediately steal a boy. Toni then stole Ben, meaning Shakira was left single and vulnerable. But despite Shakira being the vulnerable one, fans were quick to say that they thought Alima was the most at risk. Alima is paired with Blu and fans think he will make a move for single Shakira. "You see that Blu, he is already calculating how to get with Shakira. Oh Lorddd! My Alima might be at risk," said one. Love Island star offends viewers within seconds as she makes shock comment about 9-5 jobs Others then quickly shared how if Alima does get dumped this week, they will be making complaints to the regulator. One person took to X to say: "If Alima gets sent home OfCom be ready." Another echoed: "If Alima gets dumped, Ofcom will be hearing from me." While a third agreed: "If Alima gets dumped because of the American I'm reporting the show to ofcom." A fourth then penned: "I don't know what to report but I want to report to ofcom." "Can you complain to Ofcom over #loveisland casting men that are exclusively awful?" asked a fifth. While someone else stated that they had already complained to Ofcom about the episode. In this year's series so far, there are six boys and seven girls - including one bombshell. Ben, Dejon, Harry, Conor, Blu and Tommy make up the OG guys. While Shakira, Meg, Alima, Sophie, Megan and Helena make up the OG girls. And Toni is the first bombshell of the series.
