Love Island fans are weirdly emotional about the show's return

Love Island fans were surprised by their strength of their feelings as the dating show returned after 18 months away from our screens.

As the much-loved summer extravaganza introduced its class of 2021 many viewers said they were feeling weirdly emotional.

Love Island dropped its summer series last year, after a winter edition in South Africa in January 2020, because of coronavirus.

So fans were happy to see it back with a new batch of singletons ready to find love.

And as narrator Iain Stirling explained they were "all quarantined so they can form a sanitised sex bubble."

Another viewer gasped: "Omg the #LoveIsland title theme gave me shivers x"

And another said: "I am actually gonna cry at how excited I am about #LoveIsland being back!! This is perfect airport entertainment."

Other viewers admired the TV villa set in Mallorca which has had a revamp for 2021.

"The villa looks so good," said one.

"Actually so ready for #LoveIsland this year, if I can’t go on holiday I can at least live vicariously through the TV for an hour every night," another tweeted.

"Summer has been restored," cheered another.
