WHERE TO WATCH

Streaming

Love Island is a UK reality competition show that takes a group of singles called "Islanders" and places them in the ultimate villa. Islanders must couple up if they hope to stay in the game, as those who remain single at the end of an episode will be eliminated - but viewers can also vote off those unpopular in the eyes of the public. Only one couple will ultimately win, and both friendships and relationships will be tested in the race for a grand cash prize.
