Arguably the greatest thing to grace reality TV, like, ever, Love Island will return to our screens in less than a month – and we’re racing to our TVs quicker than Caroline Flack on her way to boot an islander out of the villa.
Details of the upcoming show are slowly starting to leak and we’re living for them. While we don’t know which lucky islanders will be grafting, sticking it on each other and getting mugged off in summer 2018, we’ve got some essential details that every Love Island aficionado needs to know – including the new beauty accessory the islanders will all be wearing, and the trailer, which recently dropped on social media.
Let’s crack on…
The trailer
The lol-worthy trailer is full of references to last year’s iconic catchphrases, including ‘muggy’, ‘little bit leave it’ and ‘pied off’.
It’s got us (and the entire Twittersphere) feeling super excited for the next series to drop.
When does Love Island start?
Although there is no official date from ITV2 as of yet, Caroline Flack has hinted that the show starts on the 4th of June. This was the start date of 2017’s Love Island and she tweeted “two months” on the 2nd of April 2018, making it only seven weeks to go.

The new smoking rule
According to The Sun, smoking in the villa and the garden area will be banned this year. Instead, the islanders will have to ask a producer if they can have a cigarette and be taken to a private hut – alone.
A TV source said: “Last year there were more viewer complaints about the amount of smoking than anything else.
“It did feel like someone had a fag in their hand constantly last series, so hopefully viewers will notice the difference.”
We’ll certainly miss all of the gossip sessions they usually indulge in at the smoking area.
