After eight weeks of sun, romance and drama, it's nearly time to say goodbye to Love Island 2021.

Love Island should be back for summer 2022, with applications due to open in the coming weeks.

"The chosen cast will spend time in a luxury villa, getting to know one another, but to remain in paradise they must win the hearts of the public and their fellow Islanders who ultimately decide their fate on Love Island."

Anyone can apply as soon as the applications open - this usually happens around the new year.

Top tips include staying active on social media - especially Instagram - and simply being yourself.

Hopefuls should also pull out all the stops for their video submission.

The most simple way to apply is to fill out the application form via the programme's website.

So, what're you waiting for? It's time to start thinking about your application video and prepping your tan.
