Say what now?

Love Island is pretty much Ireland’s obsession at the moment.

But all good things must come to an end, lads.

So what will we do with all our free time?

Naturally, we’ll  need another reality TV show to sink our teeth into – and I have just the one.

Our Shirley Valentine Summer is a new show, that’s basically like Love Island, but for women over 40.

And honestly, it sounds hilarious.

Eight ‘celebs’ will be heading off to a Greek Island, looking for love.

So who are the eight lucky ladies heading off to the island?

We’ll see Sian Lloyd, a former weather girl, Comedian Ninia Benjamin, How Clean Is Your House? presenter Aggie McKenzie and Journalist Ingrid Tarrant.

Presenter and former model Annabel Giles, TV personality and former WAG Lizzie Cundy, former glamour model Melinda Messenger and lawyer turned socialite Nancy Dell’Olio will also star in the show.

The women will find themselves in weird scenarios, such as having to raise chickens, look after a goat and even visit a yoga retreat.

They’ll go on dates, and chat to local matchmaker George in a series of gas interviews.

Our Shirley Valentine Summer starts tonight at 9.30pm on ITV.
