The show has had a revamp this year, with the islanders moving into a brand-new new villa. Iain Stirling, the series' narrator, previously told OK! magazine that the new season would be the 'sexiest' ever.

He told OK": "I've not seen the villa. I like to wait and see it on the first day and meet the Islanders for the first time, so I'm like a viewer seeing it for the first time, too.

"That's my vibe… Or maybe it's just me being a little bit lazy."

He added: "I know it's got a fire pit because I talked about that in the trailer and I imagine if there's more working out space it'll be the sexiest series we've ever had."

Love Island starts on June 6 at 9pm on ITV2.
