Love Island's Laura Whitmore teases behind-the-scenes glimpse ahead of launch show

Laura Whitmore is set to introduce the cast of sexy singletons who are entering the Love Island villa on tonight's highly-anticipated launch show.

And the TV presenter, 36, has teased fans hours ahead of the hit ITV2 show starting by uploading a snap of herself ready to strut into the Majorca pad that will be home to the genetically blessed cast over the summer.

The mother-of-one took to her Instagram page to upload a photo that shows her dressed in a gorgeous white dress printed with a pretty blue design and featuring a gorgeous shoulder tie design.

Blonde Laura can be seen covering her face in the offering with a handful of cue cards decorated with the Love Island logo and the steps up to the lavish luxury home can be seen in the background.

Encouraging fans to prepare for an evening in front of the TV, she typed alongside the post: "TONIGHT 9pm @itv2 first coupling up. @loveisland is back!"

Laura will be showcasing the 11 new recruits tonight on ITV2.

In the first look teaser photos, revealed last night, the girls are seen standing in line while the men are wheeled out one by one, giving them a chance to decide on who they fancy.

Liberty Poole, Sharon Gaffka, Kaz Kamwi, Faye Winter and Shannon Singh are seen in a line to meet their men - and couldn't be more excited.

However, Chloe Burrows is suspiciously missing from the line-up... could she be the first bombshell?

The first round of coupling up is always particularly brutal, as the women have to decide who they want to partner up with, and share a bed with, based almost entirely on looks and first impressions.

If interested, they can then put themselves forward - and if more than one girl steps up, the men can then decide who to pick.

However, the girls can change their mind if another hottie comes in afterwards and takes their fancy.

Similarly, if none of the women fancy the guy on offer, there’s a long bout of awkward silence as they are relegated to the last picked of the pack.

There will be an extra girl around after the coupling up, and judging on past series, they will need to crack on quick smart in order to keep their place in the villa safe.

Among this year’s female villa cast members are a beauty queen, a former model, and an ex PA who admitted to an in-office affair.

In the boys is the first disabled castmate ever, a hunky builder and a PE teacher who still lives with his nan.

Two of the cast even dumped their other halves in order to appear on the show.

*Love Island starts Monday at 9pm on ITV2
