LOVE Island is back and will be jumping straight into the action tonight – with no one safe from the outset.
In a teaser for tonight’s episode, it looks like the game is officially on as the new islanders are hit with a series of cruel twists as they settle into the villa.
For the first time in Love Island history, there will not be an immediate coupling up ceremony, with the show opting to introduce everyone at the same time.
However, Maya Jama arrives with a game to play.
The star says,“You’ve already started getting to know each other so you guys have had enough time for first impressions, right? First impressions count.
“Boys and girls, I now want you to rate each other in order of who you think has come across the most like boyfriend and girlfriend material, right down to who has given the least relationship vibes.”
Things soon go from bad to worse for the group as the girls organise the boys and vice versa, prompting some to get annoyed at their placement straight out the gate.
But while that in itself was difficult, it seems like Maya is only just getting started, and soon she tells them that they’ve managed to couple up without even realising it.
“Well, that was very interesting,” she told them. “I bet you’re wondering how we’re going to couple you up.
“Well, you’ve done it yourselves!”
It seems that not a lot of people are happy with their new partner on the show, with moans being heard from both the boys and girls.
Just when they think they’ve finally got a handle on things, the group settle down for a night in.
But then Maya returns in a killer black dress– and has some business to attend to.
We’re going to have to wait until tonight to find out what that means, but by the sounds of shock coming from the group, it doesn’t sound good.
Speaking from the Majorcan villa last week, Love Island’s executive producer Mike Spencer had warned things were going to get complicated
“We have changed up day one format too,” he said. “There’ll be something very new, it’s not a public vote, but it’ll be a new way to couple up our Islanders.”
He continued: “I hope it’ll shock the Islanders and I think it will because there will be an element of a new gameplay that will lead to their couples without them knowing it.”
Love Island kicks off tonight at 9pm on ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX.
