Who hosts Love Island?

On 22nd August 2022, Laura Whitmore shocked fans as she shared the news that she will not be returning to host further seasons of Love Island.

Announcing the news on her Instagram page, she wrote: 'Some news! I won’t be hosting the next series of Love island. There are certain elements of the show I’ve found very difficult that cannot be changed some due to the format, including the flying back and forth to South Africa along with my new conflicting projects.

'I wish it was still possible but know you’ll be in safe hands. I was only planning to fill in for Caroline for a series and it turned into 3 series.

'I hope I did you proud Caroline ❤️'. (sic)

Then, on Wednesday 12th October 2022, after weeks of rumours, ITV bosses confirmed Maya Jama would be taking over as the new Love Island host.

Sharing a video to social media of Maya scrolling through the rumoured stories about herself, the post read: 'The post read: 'Okay, the rumours are true 😉 Say hey to your brand-new #LoveIsland host @mayajama! 💘'. (sic)

Maya said: “I’ve always been such a massive Love Island fan and I’m so excited to be hosting one of the nation’s favourite shows! I can’t wait to get into the Villa to meet all of the Islanders.”

Director of Reality Programming & Acquisitions and Controller, ITV2, ItvBe & CITV, Paul Mortimer said: “Finding a new host to follow the wonderful Laura Whitmore was never going to be easy. In Maya Jama though, we have another high profile fan of the show who’ll be a great addition to the Love Island family. Cool, charming and charismatic, I speak for us all when I say Maya will also bring a unique presenting style to the show, as did Laura and, of course, the very much missed Caroline Flack. We’re very pleased to have her on board.”

Maya received rave reviews during the Winter series between January-March, and returned for the Summer series, as well as both Love Island: Games and Love Island: All Stars. She also returned for series 11 in 2024.

In December 2024, rumours began to swirl that Maya would be stepping down from her role in 2025 - with reports suggesting that Maura Higgins was set to take over. Maya, however, shut down rumours on her Instagram Story, confirming it was 'fake news' and she had 'no plans to leave right now'.

Love Island's support protocols

Ahead of the new series in 2023, bosses released their updated Duty of Care Protocols, which featured a number of changes.

One of the main changes is that all Islanders will have their social media accounts paused whilst in the villa, to protect both themselves and their families from 'the adverse effects of social media'.

Islanders will also receive guidance and training around mutually respectful behaviour in relationships ahead of entering the villa, as well as care pre filming, filming, and aftercare.

Check out the full Duty of Care Protocols revealed for Love Island.

Love Island vote

Voting is completely free on Love Island, all you have to do is download the app! Although voting is not open every day, voice-over Iain Stirling will let viewers know when, and what to vote for during the show.

Why is Love Island not on TV on a Saturday?

Despite sitting down six nights of the week, Love Island doesn't air on a Saturday night, leaving viewers gutted. BUT NOW, in news that has left us shocked to core, 2017 winner Kem Cetinay has revealed the reason why.

Speaking on This Morning, Kem revealed the Islanders actually get a DAY OFF from filming, where they can leave the villa so the cleaners can go in.

Kem said: "They give you one day off. You get one day off per week. What happens is, it gives them a day to clean the villa, and you take your mics off, and normally we go to the beach."

As Holly Willoughby and former host Phillip Schofield appeared shocked, Kem added: "So what happens is, when you take your mic off, you are not allowed to talk about anything to do with the show, you have to talk about home life.

"You are being watched by the producers, because they don't want you to talk about what is going on. They are quite careful about what you talk about, because they want to keep it so everyone at home can see it."

Which Love Island couples are still together?

We aren't going to lie, not many couples from the last nine series have made it! But it's not all doom and gloom, some are still very much loved-up from series one-seven.

Whilst some have gone on to have Love Island babies, the likes of Jess Shears and Dom Lever, Olivia Buckland and Alex Bowen, and Cara de la Hoyde and Nathan Massey have all got married.

Mimii Ngulube and Josh Oyinsan: SPLIT

Despite Josh only entering as a bombshell with weeks to go, he quickly stole the heart of Mimii, with the pair getting VERY close in a short space of time. Mimii and Josh then made history when they become the first ever black couple to win Love Island, being voted as the new Queen and King of the villa in 2024.


However, just months later at the end of September, Mimii took to her Instagram Story to confirm the pair have now split.

Nicole Young and Ciaran Davies: SPLIT

Welsh pair Nicole Young and Ciaran Davies coupled up very early on during the 2024 series, and they certainly didn't look back throughout the series! After making their romance official in the villa, the couple ended the series as runners-up, finishing behind winners Mimii and Josh. After the final, Nicole and Ciaran confessed they'd like to move in together within a year - and they did just that!

Sadly, however, it was in December 2024 that the pair's rep confirmed the news that they had decided to split, choosing to remain just friends.

Matilda Draper and Sean Stone: SPLIT

Despite their drama at Casa Amor, thanks to Sean's head turning, Matilda and Sean made it all the way to the final, finishing in third place in 2024. During the final, Sean revealed he had big plans to make Matilda his official girlfriend.


However, just weeks later, Sean and Matilda released a joint statement on Instagram to confirm they'd split. It read: 'Just wanted to come on here to tell you guys that Sean and I have decided to part ways. We are still good friends and I'm so grateful to have shared such an incredible experience with him. We appreciate all of your support throughout our time together and all the love you have shown us. Love you all'. (sic)

Jessica Spencer and Ayo Odukoya: SPLIT

Jessica managed to turn Ayo's head during Casa Amor in the 2024 series, and the pair ended up making it all the way to the final, finishing in fourth place. However, after never actually going official, Jess confirmed in October 2024 that the pair are no longer dating.

Jessy Potts and Joey Essex: SPLIT

After becoming the first ever celebrity bombshell, reality TV star Joey Essex left the villa just one day before the final alongside Jessy Potts. The pair left as an 'exclusive couple' and it Jessy quickly visited Joey's hometown of Essex when they returned to the UK.


Just seven weeks after leaving the villa, Joey and Jessy released a statement to the press to announce they'd split. The pair admitted they'd like to carry on as friends.

Uma Jammeh and Wil Anderson: DATING

When series 11 Islander Wil Anderson was brutally dumped following a shock recoupling, Uma Jammeh chose to leave the villa with him, shocking her fellow Islanders and viewers at home. Just days after the pair returned to the UK, Wil asked Uma to become her official girlfriend.


In September 2024, Uma and Wil confirmed they'd moved in together.

Grace Jackson and Reuben Collins: SPLIT
