Love Island contestants will be allowed to watch England vs Italy in Euro 2020 final

Just like in previous years the seventh series of Love Island follows a bunch of singles as they embark on a journey to find love.

And for two months they live within the confines of a villa in Mallorca.

For eight weeks the Islanders are required to reside within the famous villa without any communication with the outside world as they're busy 'coupling up.'

They have personal devices taken away upon entering the villa and the mobile phones they use during the show are for Islanders to receive instructions from producers about new arrivals, dates and decisions.

Previously the only outside links they've been allowed are video calls with home or visits to the villa from family later on in the series as family check in and give their verdict on the couplings.

But this year isn't like any other.

ITV bosses have confirmed that the stars of the hit ITV2 reality show have been allowed to watch England take on Italy in the Euro 2020 final.

The highly anticipated game could see our nation become Euro champions for the first time in history.

The match clashes with tonight's episode of Love Island, which usually airs at 9pm, so to keep both football and reality show fand happy, Sunday's episode will now start at 10pm.

This will followed by the spin-off Aftersun, hosted by Laura Whitmore, from 11.00pm to 12.05am.
