But UK fans were left fuming because they weren’t able to access it unless they paid subscription fees — Love Island Games was instantly available this side of the Atlantic on Peacock via Sky or Now TV.
But the show finally became available on our TVs for free from February 19 on ITVX — the same day as Love Island All Stars came to an end.
It featured stars from the various international editions of the show all living together in Fiji — with past villa legends from around the world taking part in the ultimate reality show.
Unlike the original format of the show, the stars had to compete in various challenges to win.
Narrated by Iain Stirling, the islanders faced dating, eliminations, re-couplings, and newcomers’ arrivals — all while battling each other in tricky challenges.
