The stunning scenes around the villa
It's been a dreary January, so we're thrilled winter Love Island is back on our screens.
Returning to South Africa, the hit ITV2 dating show has a fresh batch of sexy Islanders including a Michelle Keegan lookalike, a James Bond actress and TikTok sensation Farmer Will.
New presenter Maya Jama, 28, is at the helm - taking over from Laura Whitmore - and she asks viewers, "It's time to grab love by the horns. I'm ready, are you?"
Maya, who's denied rumours that she's rekindled things with her ex Stormzy, will also present the spin-off show, Love Island: Aftersun, from London.
lain Stirling, 34, who has been the show's narrator since series one, returns as the voiceover.
Viewers will see the Islanders getting to know each other in the Ludus Magnus villa. It has an Olympic-size outdoor swimming pool, plus two other pools, an outdoor gym, a wooden treehouse, a vineyard and a stage.
The villa also has Love Island's "biggest hideaway", where couples can have some private time. Oo-er!
LANA JENKINS
Lana is no stranger to stardom. She has rubbed shoulders with a string of celebs in the past in her role as a make-up artist.
The 25-year-old, who has worked on sets including Hollyoaks and Brassic, has become pals with the likes of Jennifer Metcalfe and Michelle Keegan - who last week showed her support for Lana ahead of her stint in the villa.
Taking to Instagram Stories, actress Michelle, 35, wrote, "So our girl is going into Love Island. Genuinely one of the nicest girls you'll ever meet."
Lana explains to us, "I've spent a lot of time with Michelle and she's amazing. She's so beautiful inside and out."
