What time is Love Island on tonight? Broadcasters confirm change in schedule due to major event clash

We're less than a fortnight into this series of Love Island but there's already been a whole number of twists and turns that have kept viewers on the edge of their seats.

From a surprise dumping just 48 hours into the show, the arrival of two new lads shortly followed by a pair of blonde bombshells and then the ultimate drama last night in which poor Hugo got himself into a bit of bother with Faye and Shannon for saying he didn't like 'fake' people.

The cliffhanger from yesterday's episode saw the girls of the villa out at brunch, leaving the lads all alone.

The perfect time for new girls Lucinda and Millie to make their way into the villa - with the show going off the air as the ladies at brunch received a picture of the new girls getting comfortable with the boys.

But after all that drama, we now have to wait slightly longer to find out what happens.

What time is Love Island on tonight?

Love Island is on air at the later time of 10pm

Why is Love Island on at a different time?

A very good reason - England are in the semi-finals of Euro 2020 and their tie with Denmark is airing on ITV1 from 7.45pm.

As a result, it will run past the 9pm slot usually reserved for Love Island on ITV2, thus forcing fans of both football and fanny flutters to have to choose.

So ITV bosses have made the call to delay Love Island until 10 to stop the crossover.

Instead, two episodes of Family Guy will air on ITV2, while Virgin Media One will see The Tonight Show air at 9pm.

Love Island continues tonight at 10pm on Virgin Media One and Virgin Media Player.
