Some of the most successful Love Island couples include Molly Mae and Tommy Fury and Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde.

Love Island is back once again with 10 singletons heading to Mallorca villa for a summer of romance. The new series kicks off on Monday (June 5).

This year, the contestants - including Coronation Street star Janet Marsh’s daughter, a semi-professional football player and a 21-year-old business owner - are hoping to follow in the footsteps of Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan, who took the crown as winners of the winter series in March 2023.
