We’ve yet to be introduced to a single Islander this season, however, with the premiere date in sight, it’s only a matter of time before the full opening day line-up of singletons is revealed.

Last summer, during the season seven finale, late-comers and bombshells Liam Reardon and Millie Court were crowned our Love Island winners, and the couple are still an item today. As are runners-up, Chloe Burrows and Toby Aromolaran, along with Faye Winters and Teddy Soares.

Kaz Kamwi and Tyler Cruickshank finished in fourth place together and became one of last season’s most notable post-filming breakups, as the pair announced their split last December. 

Season eight of Love Island is due to air on ITV 2 this coming June 6.
