The Love Island challenge is supposed to truly test all of the sets of couples to see if they can keep their cool and successfully look after a little one.
For some, the challenge will bring them closer. But others may leave thinking twice about whether they wish to have children in the future.
Fans of the show are far from happy to hear the news though, taking to social media to express their disappointment in seeing the challenge return.
'We wanted the tweet challenge back!! No one cares about some f*** ass baby dolls,' said one user.
A second shared: 'I actually hate the baby doll challenge. Lol this is when I stop watching'.
A third agrees: 'There is nothing I hate more than the baby challenge, actively skip it everytime.'
The ITV2 show made the decision to axe the baby challenge after nine seasons back in 2023 to allow space to welcome new tasks and challenges to the show.
A sports day event was instead switched in place that year, and saw the Islanders competed in various athletic and silly games.
At the time, fans were sad to see the baby challenge go, deeming the replacement as 'boring and dull'.
One Twitter user shared: 'All I wanted was Tyrella in the baby challenge. Was that too much to ask for???'.
But this year it seems that viewers feel the opposite way.
Lasting love has been found in the villa for ex-Islanders, including Molly-Mae Hague, 26, and Tommy Fury, 26, who made it through the baby challenge in 2019.
The couple, who briefly split in August last year, welcomed their first child, daughter Bambi, back in 2023.
With tensions already high between many of the duos in this year's lineup, including Dejon and Meg, it's going to be interesting seeing what unfolds.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

Liam Gallagher's ex-wife Nicole Appleton supports the singer as she watches Oasis perform at Wembley with Emma Bunton on girls' night out
Nicole Appleton showed her support for her ex-husband Liam Gallagher as she went to watch Oasis perform with her friend Emma Bunton on Saturday night. Brothers Liam, 52, and Noel, 58, are currently touring the UK on their long-awaited reunion tour, marking their first time on stage together in more than 16 years. And Nicole, 50, made a show of solidarity for her ex-husband as she proved she is still a diehard Oasis fan despite their separation. Nicole dated Liam back in the early 2000s, and the couple tied the knot in 2008, before divorcing in 2014 after welcoming a son Gene, now 24, together. The former All Saints star took to Instagram on Saturday to reveal she was watching Oasis with Spice Girl Emma, her younger sister Nat and actress Donna Air. The girls were out in full force as they dressed up in Oasis-appropriate attire to watch the two iconic brothers perform. Nicole wowed in an Oasis branded T-shirt, showing her support for her ex-husband - who she shares son Gene, 24, with. She paired her merchandise with some bright yellow Adidas tracksuit bottoms - a staple for any Oasis fan. Meanwhile, Emma was all smiles as she wore a black mini dress and a blazer for the night out with her close pals. Nicole's sister Nat wore an stylish Adidas jacket with the three-stripes, whilst Donna opted for a leather jacket and jeans. It is not the first time Nicole has watched Liam perform as she took her daughter Skipper, five, who she shares with her husband Stephen Haines, last year. The mother-daughter duo watched both Gene perform with his band Villanelle and Liam at the same gig at the O2 Arena. Elsewhere on Saturday, Liam's daughter Molly Moorish-Gallagher, 27 - who he shares with his ex Lisa Moorish - was also in attendance at his Oasis Wembley gig. She posted some Instagram Stories from the crowd as she watched her dad and uncle perform to hundreds of thousands of people. It's been almost a month since the siblings performed together for the first time in 16 years following an epic falling out backstage in Paris which sparked the band's split. While it's been feared that a major bust-up between the once-warring brothers could put a halt to the live shows, their latest gig showed that the pair are still on track. Liam made a sweet onstage gesture to his brother Noel as they took to the stage on Wednesday. As they continued their Oasis '25 tour at during their third show at Wembley, Liam left fans in awe as he dedicated a song to his older brother, 58. Ahead of belting out his next track, Liam told the crowd: 'Now I've gotta dedicate this next tune to our kid - Stand By Me', reports The Sun. The emotional moment was captured by a fan who shared a clip to X, with music lovers rushing to the comments to share how it made them feel.

Harry Hill says he was ‘absolutely merciless' in his determination to succeed
Hill, who gave up medicine for a career in comedy, was speaking as he appeared as a guest on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs. 'I was absolutely driven,' he told host Lauren Laverne. 'I had gone from doing 80, 100 hours a week as a doctor, getting up at the crack of dawn. Suddenly I had all this time free during the day, so I really felt like I had something to prove. 'So I would get up and I would write jokes.' Hill said he would make constant calls to get bookings when he started doing stand-up in the early 1990s. 'I would just bug them and bug them,' he said. 'I was absolutely merciless in my pursuit of it. It's not the funniest people that get on, it's the pushiest. And I was pushy.' Hill, whose real name is Matthew Hall, said his first stand-up gig was at a Mexican restaurant in South Norwood, south London. 'My first gag got a laugh, and it completely threw me because I had been rehearsing it without laughs,' he told Laverne. But he recovered and continued his routine, and even got another booking from it. Hill, who won the Perrier Award for best newcomer at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1992, said being a comedian means 'I can get away with just about any silly behaviour'. Hill, who created and presented Harry Hill's TV Burp on ITV from 2001 to 2012, said he takes time to prepare ahead of his comedy routines. 'I have to have an hour to myself,' he said. 'It's not a character, it is me. It is a persona, if you like. 'I have to pace up and down and work myself up, because if I don't do that it's not as funny.' Describing how he felt about being a doctor, he told Laverne about an incident soon after he qualified, when he had to break the news to a man that his wife had unexpectedly died during an operation. 'I was completely out of my depth,' he said. 'I told him and he started crying, and I started crying. I thought this is – this isn't good. What it makes you do is bottle up your emotions.' But he added: 'I wasn't a bad doctor.' Among the songs he chose as his desert island discs were Hey Bulldog by the Beatles, Life During Wartime by Talking Heads, and Gay Bar by Electric Six. Hill said a 'thick book you could use to kill small mammals' would be useful, and chose Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. He said his luxury item would be a bucket and spade, because 'where's the fun of a sandy beach without the ability to make sandcastles?'

Strictly Come Dancing: BBC responds as two TV stars accused of taking cocaine
The BBC has responded after it was reported that two Strictly Come Dancing stars have been accused of taking cocaine. The broadcaster is said to have hired an external law firm to probe the drug-taking allegations, which a source said were "well-known" on the show, The Sun on Sunday reports. The claims were reportedly made on behalf of celebrity contestant Wynne Evans in a legal submission to the BBC in March. In response, a BBC spokesperson told Sky News: "We have clear protocols and policies in place for dealing with any serious complaint raised with us. We would always encourage people to speak to us if they have concerns. "It would not be appropriate for us to comment further." Sky News understands that it is not unusual for the BBC to engage an external individual to provide additional expert resource to help deliver a BBC-led investigation. In these cases, they would report to an established BBC team. The allegations published in The Sun on Sunday include a source saying that one Strictly star had told another about a third celebrity on the show: "Have you seen their pupils... they're off their face." "The BBC have known about these allegations for some time, and acknowledged receiving them. Now they are taking firm action," the source reportedly said. The two individuals accused of drug taking have not been named. It is the latest crisis to hit the BBC and Strictly. In July last year, Amanda Abbington accused Strictly dancer Giovanni Pernice of "abusive or threatening behaviour". The actress, who was paired with Pernice, withdrew from the show in 2023. The BBC upheld "some, but not all" of the allegations, with Abbington describing an apology from the corporation as a "vindication", while Pernice denied displaying "abusive or threatening behaviour". In the same month, Strictly professional dancer, Graziano Di Prima confirmed he was leaving the show amid reports of alleged misconduct. Separately, Laura Whitmore alleged "inappropriate behaviour" during her time on the show.
