Love Island drops FIRST teaser video for new series leaving fans very excited

With a mini heatwave arriving last week, it feels like summer is just around the corner and that can mean just one thing... the return of Love Island!

That's right, after last year's success, the popular ITV2 show is set to return in June and now bosses have released the first teaser video of the year.

Revealing Caroline Flack will return to host the show along with the hilarious Iain Stirling as commentator, the video shows a number of 'holiday essentials' packed into a suitcase as it goes through an X-ray machine.

As the phone in the suitcase then lights up, Caroline shouts the infamous words "TEXT!"

Check out the teaser below:

Fans were quick to express their excitement after the video dropped online...

The news comes after Caroline Flack teased the return of the show last month.

Sharing a photo of herself on Instagram, the 38-year-old wrote, 'Exciting PROMO WEEK ahead. How has it been a year???? Where does time go??? 🤔💁🏼‍♀️😬'. sic

Although it hasn't yet been revealed which singletons will feature on this year's series of Love Island, Caroline revealed last week that she's had a sneak peak at the 2018 cast.

Taking to her Twitter account, she wrote, 'So I had a sneak peek at this years LOVE ISLANDERS today..... and .... it’s gonna be a LONG HOT SUMMER ...@LoveIsland ❤️'. sic

OMG! 🙌

Now check out some of the best Love Island throwback photos:

2 of 10

Dom Leaver

Dom Leaver with long hair is something we are in to. A lot.

Marcel Somerville

In completely brand new information - Marcel was in the 90's band Blazin Squad. WE KNOW RIGHT. He's so modest about that sort of thing.

Montana Brown

We all had a Montana Brown phase. Once. Now it's a miracle if we brush our hair on a morning.

Harley Judge

Harley looks unrecognisable in this Insta snap, doesn't he. CUTIE.

Chris Hughes

The winner for the best throwback snap goes to... (and tbh, his Gareth Gates esque hair makes us adore him even more.)

Amber Davies

Of course, Amber looks fantastic at every life milestone.

Olivia Attwood

Did you know Olivia Attwood used to compete in beauty pagents? Of course you did. Liv is more glam than Amy Childs having a gold-plated mani, tbh.

Kem Cetinay

Kem with short hair has been giving the internet ALL KINDS OF FEELS.

Sam Gowland

Sam looking every inch of a Essex lad in his perfectly preened blazer/shirt combo. Nothing ever changes, eh.

Chloe Crowhurst

CHLOE... ERR, IS THAT YOU?! With a short brown pixie crop and a normal sized lips, we honestly had to do a double take.

Fans will be hoping the 2018 series brings the same drama as last year's cast which featured the likes of Chris Hughes, Olivia Attwood, Kem Cetinay, Amber Davies and Marcel Somerville.

Not long after leaving the show, Montana Brown and Alex Beattie were the first couple to break-up.

2017 winners Kem and Amber also put an end to their romance, confirming the sad news in December. After enduring an on and off relationship for months, Chris and Olivia split up last month and documented their struggles on their TV show Chris and Olivia: Crackin On.

But it isn't all bad news! Despite fans of the show believing Gabby was 'using' Marcel for his fame, the couple seem stronger than ever. The pair often post loved up photos to their Instagram pages.

And of course Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt are still going strong almost a year on. The pair have travelled the world together doing charity work since the show ended last summer.

After trying it on with almost every girl in the villa and then appearing on Celebs Go Dating, Muggy Mike is now in a happy relationship with former TOWIE star Megan McKenna.

Despite Muggy Mike interfering with Jess Shears and Dom Lever's romance during the show, the pair are now MARRIED! Jess and Dom tied the knot on Valentine's Day earlier this year when they appeared on Good Morning Britain.

Watch the moment below:

Despite no official date being announced for the return of Love Island yet, last year's series started at the beginning of June.

Not long now! 🌴
