Villa changes and spin-off shows: The juicy details we know about Love Island 2024
Bosses are planning to ‘turn up the heat’ with new formats
It’s time! Love Island 2024 is officially here – and we’re finally heading back to our favourite villa to watch the hot singles find love.
We have a full list of new Islanders, a new-look villa ready to go, and apparently some big changes to the show that will make the series feel fresher than ever.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of Love Island 2024. Strap in!
Love Island 2024 starts on June 3rd and will last eight weeks
Love Island 2024 stars at 9pm at Monday 3rd June. For the first time, the launch show will be on simultaneously across ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX. The show will then be on every evening, with a highlights and best bits show on Saturday nights. The show will go on for eight weeks.
A source said: “ITV wants to throw their weight behind Love Island and make sure it has a big, glitzy moment when the 11th series kicks off. Showing it across every channel means creating what they hope will be a big TV moment. It shows there is still a real commitment to the format even nine years on.”
Maya Jama is back as host, with the new Islanders heading off to the villa in Mallorca. The villa is called Sa Vinyassa, and costs £5k a week to rent out – if you wanted to.
