It's been a long wait, but Love Island is finally back. Almost 16 months after Paige Turley and Finn Tapp were crowned winners of the show's first winter season, the villa is getting ready to host a brand new bunch of singletons.

Laura Whitmore will be returning as host for the second time – alongside her narrator husband Iain Stirling – when the hit show returns to ITV2 on 28 June, but who will be taking part in the new series on the look out for love?

ITV has finally started to reveal who will be stepping into the villa and, in turn, becoming the most talked about people this summer.

Take a look at the confirmed line-up below…




Sharon Gaffka

Sharon Gaffka has been announced as the first of this year's islanders.

The Love Island Instagram page says she has conquered beauty pageants, worked on government policies and is now ready to take on the villa.

Sharon has said that she won't be having sex on TV in the new series, insisting that she won't follow in the footsteps of former Love Island star Zara Holland.

ITV will be announcing the rest of the Love Island line-up on Monday.
