Love Island news LIVE: Caroline Flack welcomes 12 new islanders as Anton tries to STEAL Lucie from Joe in under 24 hours

Scrap your plans and prepare to spend the summer watching a bunch of sexy singletons sticking it on, doing bits and getting pied off - all with the added bonus of Iain Stirling’s comforting Scottish tones.

Caroline Flack is back with her slo-mo walk and she’s played Cupid to five couples in the famous Mallorcan villa.

But as Shakespeare once said, the path of true love never did run smooth, and with seven boys and five girls, two blokes will be mugged off in the next 24 hours with the prospect of Dr Alex levels of singledom this summer – maybe minus the sunburn – after Tommy Fury and Curtis Pritchard made a late entrance.

Lucie and Joe, Yewande and Michael, Anna and Sherif, Anton and Amy and Amber and Callum all coupled up in cringe scenes which saw Michael and Sherif benched in the first round.

Anton later attempted to steal Lucie from Joe after telling both parties he fancies the blonde surfer.

Flack will return to the villa tomorrow night to reveal who Tommy and Curtis choose to couple up with and which boys will be left "vulnerable" ahead of the first dumping.

Sit back and relive all the action from tonight’s series launch:

Love Island is on ITV2, weeknights at 9pm
