Welcome to the first episode of It Was What It Was, our new weekly show about all things Love Island 2021, brought to you by the Evening Standard.
After 18 months of no villa action, tonight the ITV2 behemoth returns: eleven youthful specimens have flown to Mallorca with a suitcase full of swimwear to try and find love.
Ahead of tonight’s first episode, we got to know this year’s Islanders, from a sweet Northumbrian who lives with his nan to an estate agent who wants to channel Selling Sunset vibes. Who will couple up with who? We can’t wait to find out...
Join us for the drama, dumpings and fireside deep and meaningfuls, as we process what went down in every episode. We’d love to hear your theories, thoughts and feelings, so leave a comment below to get involved with the discussion.
