The first look at the upcoming season is here!

It’s been a long time coming, but the first trailer for this summer’s Love Island is finally here.

In the snippet, we see the the show’s host Laura Whitmore in a stunning red jumpsuit strut confidentially through a sea of (potentially) singletons before facing the camera.

As she does, a voice-over bellows, “This is not a drill.”

Laura shared the snippet on her Instagram last night with the caption, “You ready?”

We’ve never been more ready Laura.

In the comments section, many famous fans chipped in to share their excitement.

Darren Kennedy replied with a “YESSSS!”

Filmmaker Mika Simmons echoed our sentiments by writing, “JESUS MARY WEPT WHITMORE”.

While the trailer doesn’t give much away, it’s certainly a sight for sore eyes. After months of speculation over this year’s Love Island, it’s great to have visual confirmation of the upcoming season.

Earlier this year, there were doubts over filming locations due to Covid-19 travel restrictions. Numerous sources reported that the reality dating show may take place in the UK. However, it is currently looking likely that filming in Majorca this summer will go ahead.

According to the Independent, the hit dating show will return to our screens on 28 June on ITV2, and it’s shaping up to be a great series.

Months ago, inside sources shared that the Love Island bosses were actively seeking LGBT+ contestants for this year’s season. Numerous bisexual contestants have taken part in the show in the past, however this year viewers may expect to see a considerable increase in openly LGBT+ participants.

Last week, Her’s Jade Hayden shared the scoop on everything you need to know about this year’s Love Island and it’s pretty comprehensive. However, as new information comes in, we’ll be sure to keep you updated.
