Lana Jenkins and Ron Hall are already favourites to win this year's Love Island
The new series, the second-ever winter version, of the ITV2 dating show kicked off on Monday night (16.01.23) with 10 new singletons entering the South African villa, where they coupled up with one another under the stewardship of host Maya Jama.
Punters clearly think 25-year-old make-up artist Lana and 25-year-old financial advisor Ron have a big chance of winning the £50,000 prize, as the pair have been installed as 9/2 favourites with William Hill to do so.
After them, the bookmaker quotes 9/1 on Shaq Muhammad, 24, and Tanya Manhenga, 22, after he stepped forward for her when she was the first female Islander to enter the villa.
Biomedical science student Tanya then picked Shaq to couple up with.
But Lana and Ron, and Tanya and Shaq are currently the only two couples who have single-figure odds.
Anna-May Robey, 20, and Haris Namani, 21, are among several Islanders priced at 14/1 to triumph on the series.
PE and science teacher Kai, 24, was stolen from payroll administrator Anna-May when Olivia Hawkins, 27, entered the villa and coupled up with him.
However, Kai later stepped forward when Tanyel Revan, 26, came into the villa, and she opted to couple up with him.
As a result, Kai and Tanyel are 14/1 to win the show with William Hill, but punters clearly think there is a chance that he might reconcile with Anna-May, as the pair are also 14s.
Due to Kai coupling up with Tanyel, Olivia was left single, and she ended up joining forces with farmer Will Young, 23, but there didn't seem to be too much of a spark between the pair.
Punters appear to have taken this onboard and left the couple out of their betting sites, with the bookies pricing them up at 40/1 shots.
