Love Island is a dating reality show which is the revival of the earlier series of the same name which aired from 2005 for two series ending in 2006 on ITV. The new series is presented by Caroline Flack,[1] narrated by Iain Stirling and launched on 7 June 2015 live on ITV2. Unlike the original series, the contestants are members of the public rather than celebrities.
The show will return for a second series in 2016.[2]

The first series of the newly revived show began on 7 June 2015 with a live special of the show hosted by Caroline Flack where the contestants entered the villa and were immediately coupled up. Pictures of the villa were unveiled on 5 June 2015.[3] The contestants for the first series were revealed on 2 June 2015, just days before the launch.[4] The series ended on 15 July 2015, with Jessica Hayes and Max Morley the winners.[5]
