Love Island Australia

With extra time in lockdown, now seems like the perfect time to get stuck into a new series of Love Island. But, understandably, due to the coronavirus pandemic promises that the show is going to return bigger and better next year. But thankfully, for the meanwhile, ITV2 have a plan to help us get through quarantine. Enter: Love Island Australia.

The show aired Down Under last year, and it follows pretty much the same format as the UK version, as singletons try to couple up to win a $50,000 AUS (£27,000) cash prize, which is barely more than half of the £50,000 our version offers. Like the UK equivalent, it’s also filmed in Mallorca in a swish villa, but instead it’s hosted by Sophie Monk - TV presenter and former member of Australian girl band Bardot - and narrated by Eoghan McDermott.

‘The series sees a bunch of sizzling Aussie singles embark on the ultimate summer of love, leaving the Australian winter behind them, as they take up residence in a luxury villa in Mallorca,' ITV annouced.

‘Playing the definitive game of love, the Aussie Islanders will get to know each other in the hope of finding romance. But as new bombshells arrive on the Island, which couples will stand the test of time and make it all the way to the final, and have a chance of bagging the $50,000 cash prize.’

Sounds like it’s going to have all the drama of the UK series, then.

Love Island Australia comes to ITV2 on June 15th, at 9pm. Start the countdown...
