In case you have been living under a rock, the Love Island line-up was released yesterday. Yes, that means we only have to wait until Sunday to watch a new group of singletons couple up and fight for each other’s attention - all in front of millions of viewers. And this year, for the new winter series in South Africa, the line-up is a little different.

For starters, there doesn’t seem to be anybody with their job title as ‘influencer’. And there’s twins! Eve and Jess Gale. (Eve’s claim to fame? Apparently, Kylie Jenner’s ex, Tyga, messaged her and asked to meet up in Ibiza.)

But there’s also two slightly familiar faces. For different reasons. Rochelle Humes’{ =nofollow}little sister Sophie Piper is on the series - and she looks just like her older sibling. (Good genes obviously run in the family.) And you might recognize incoming islander Paige Turley, as she was on Britain’s Got Talent years ago as a singer. She’s also last year’s biggest selling artist Lewis Capaldi’s ex girlfriend - and if he’s going to tune in, we hope there will be some hilarious Instagram stories.

See the rest of the line-up below.

Eve and Jess Gale, 20 from London - Students and VIP hostesses

Eve says: ''Tyga, Kylie Jenner's ex, messaged me. We were both at an event and I posted an Instagram story tagging him. He then messaged me afterwards and we spoke on WhatsApp. Then when me and Jess were in Ibiza, he was there again. He asked me to meet him but we arrived the day he left. Pop Smoke, the R 'n' B rapper, messaged me too.'Jess says: 'I was seeing someone and it was going really well. Then I saw him on Instagram in photos with a girl. The caption said 'A rare one, I love you'. They'd been to Dubai together and were proper tight. The dates with me meant he'd been cheating the whole time.''

Shaughna Phillips, 25 from London - Democratic Services Officer

'My last boyfriend I was with cheated on me', explains Shaughna. 'I always used to think if I got cheated on it'd be door shut, go away. It's not like that, cheating messes you up. I could never do that to anyone. I wouldn't like to be with someone who had cheated in their past.'

Sophie Piper, 21 from Essex - Medical PA (and sister to This Morning host Rochelle Humes)

'I went for dinner on a date and we had camembert to start. The date went well and I gave him a peck goodbye when I left', recalls Sophie. 'I got home and went in to take my make-up off and realised I had a bit of cheese hanging down from the corner of my mouth. I don't know how I didn't feel it and he hadn't said anything to me! When I asked him about it he said he hadn't wanted to embarrass me but I'd rather have known. I'm hoping my dates are a bit less cheesy in the Villa...'
