Love Island narrator Iain Stirling has landed a huge new job voicing the stateside version of the show.
The Scottish comedian narrated the UK version of Love Island since it hit screens in 2015 and has become an essential part of the show, as fans look forward to his funny quips each night.
The 34-year-old, who is married to host Laura Whitmore, is set to voice the revamped American spin-off version of the hit dating show, which airs on Peacock.
Iain will step in to replace the previous host Matthew Hoffman, who narrated the US version for three seasons when it aired on CBS.
.
In a video announcing his involvement, Iain said the show would be “streaming all summer long - or until America decides it can’t understand a word I’m saying”.
He added: “So get your suncream, your shades and your Google Translate ready because I’m on my way.”
“The moment the decision was made to bring an all-new version of Love Island to Peacock, we knew we had to get Iain on board,” said Jenny Groom, EVP Entertainment Unscripted Content, NBCUniversal.
She continued: “Iain embodies everything fans love about the show – humour, irreverence and cheeky fun. LOVE ISLAND would not be the same without him.”
Producers have promised the revamped US version will be ‘steamier’ with ‘naughtier games and sexier challenges’ as it hits the streaming platform, as opposed to linear television broadcast.
Peacock’s new season premieres on July 19 with six episode drops per week.
The cast and schedule for the American series is yet to be announced.
