'Love Island' is to launch with a huge new twist.
'Love Island' airs tonight at 9PM on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player, proudly sponsored by Virgin Media Mobile.
The latest series of the hit reality dating show - which is hosted by Maya Jama - will return to ITV2 tonight and will see both the boys and girls enter the Mallorcan villa together for the first time ever.
Ruchee and Jess are joined by Mitchell, Ella and André as they get to know each other in what has been called one of the show's "most flirtatious first episodes" ever.
After making her entrance, Maya chats to the contestants about their hopes for a partner.
She says: "Hello my lovelies! Do you want to head over to the firepit for a chat?”
Model Ella tells Maya: “Looks wise, I’d say tall with nice teeth”
Ruchee agrees and adds: “Height, fashion-sense and someone I can bring home to my family because I’m so family-orientated.”
Jess says: “My type’s a pretty boy, with Turkey teeth!”
Maya tells the Islanders: “Well you have all had a bit of time to get to know each other, however, I have got some news…”
It is then that Maya explains to them that their fates have already been sealed by the public in a world-first for the series, as viewers have been voting for who they would like to see coupled up together from the start.
As the Islanders look stunned, Ella admits that she doesn't know what to expect just before the voting results are revealed.
Once all the Islanders are coupled up, Maya - who replaced former host Laura Whitmore for the winter version of the series earlier this year and is now gearing up to front her first summer batch of episodes - makes her exit from the Villa as she says: “I think it’s fair to say on 'Love Island' you should 100% expect the unexpected!”
'Love Island' airs tonight at 9PM on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player, proudly sponsored by Virgin Media Mobile.
The reality show can also be seen on ITV2.
