Best of Love Island start date confirmed as ITV2 show promises all the drama

Love Island fans brace yourselves "we've got a TEXT!!!" - the hit show is getting its own 'best of' series and it's kicking off this month.

It's been five years since the dating show made it debut on ITV2 and since then there has been romance, recouplings and some serious drama.

And, just as Big Brother fans lapped up its 'greatest hits' series, Best Shows Ever on E4, the Best of Love Island will hit screens this month.

Love Island started life as Celebrity Love Island back in the mid-00s but since coming back in 2015 its popularity has gone next level, with record breaking viewing figures for ITV2 as millions have lapped up the texts, the tribulations and the tantrums in the Majorcan villa.

Fans of the show were dealt a crushing below earlier this year when channel bosses confirmed that the summer version had been shelved for a year due to the global coronavirus pandemic.

In recent weeks Love Island devotees have been glued to series 1 of Love Island Australia, which has been on EVERY night and soon they'll be able to put all their eggs in the Best of Love Island basket.

If you've tuned into ITV2 over the past couple of days you may well have seen one of the adverts teasing the new show and those have been enough to send Love Island lovers into a Twitter frenzy.

Well now we know the Best of Love Island will start on ITV2 at 9pm on Wednesday, July 15.

One tweeted: "I actually can’t wait to watch The Best of Love Island when it airs. I’m looking forward to reliving some quality drama!" and another reacted: "THE BEST OF LOVE ISLAND IS COMING IN JULY. THERE IS A GOD."

The ads hint that the focus will be on 'All the Dramz' in the first episode.
