Love Island's new series kicks off with HUGE twist destined to throw villa into chaos as Maya Jama sets newly single and vulnerable Islander a challenge with first dumping just HOURS away


The Islanders were couple up earlier in the day after the girls matched themselves to dating profiles - but Maya returned later that night with big news.

Forced to make her decision on the spot, Toni, 24, picked taxi driver Ben Holbrough - leaving construction project manager Shakira Khan, 26, single and vulnerable. This year's crop of hopefuls include a Declan Rice body double, fire breather and Maura Higgins lookalike and Maya will once again be at the helm after joining the popular dating series in January 2023. The series, which has been streamed over two billion times on ITVX, has seen over 300 Islanders pass through the villa doors over the years, including the likes of Olivia Attwood, Dani Dyer, Chris Hughes, and Molly-Mae Hague.
