The Love Island 2024 line-up has been revealed, with the first group of contestants officially announced.

Returning to ITV2 for its 11th season, a new batch of singletons is hoping to find love in the Love Island villa. On Monday (May 27), the first faces in the line-up were revealed across Love Island’s social media accounts.

The new season will see Love Island return to our screens in June, presented by Maya Jama. We will follow the 12 new contestants as they try to find luck in love. This is the second Love Island edition this year, as in January we were treated to the first season of Love Island All-Stars, which saw former contestants return for a second chance at romance.
