"Here's your first hot date of the summer #LoveIsland is back Monday 6th June," the network tweeted.

Love Island features a group of singles, known as Islanders, who live together at a remote villa in Mallorca. Contestants must couple up with another Islander in order to remain in the competition.

The series is hosted by Laura Whitmore and narrated by Iain Stirling.

Stirling recently told OK magazine that Season 8 will be the show's sexiest yet.

Love Island has inspired several spinoffs, including a U.S. version of the show that aired its third season on CBS in 2021. In February, the U.S. series was renewed for Seasons 4 and 5, which will stream on Peacock.
