Okay, so we’re not getting a brand new summer series this year, but fear not Love Island fans, as ITV2 have got something very special up their sleeves to keep us entertained all summer long.

They’re airing the first series of Love Island Australia, which means 10 new sexy singletons to feast our eyes on, as well as all the dating, dumping and drama that ensues as they attempt to couple up and bag some cold hard cash (and find true love, ofc).

So, ahead of tonight’s first episode (Monday 15 June), let’s find out more about the Islanders entering the villa.

Check out the Love Island Australia cast…

The show originally aired in Australia last year and pretty much follows the same format as the UK version we know and love, as the singletons compete to win the $50,000 AUS (that’s £27,000 to us) prize fund.

Just like the UK summer series, Love Island Australia is filmed in a swanky villa in Mallorca too. It’s hosted by Sophie Monk, with narration courtesy of Irish comedian Eoghan McDermott.

“The series sees a bunch of sizzling Aussie singles embark on the ultimate summer of love, leaving the Australian winter behind them, as they take up residence in a luxury villa in Mallorca,” ITV announced.

“Playing the definitive game of love, the Aussie Islanders will get to know each other in the hope of finding romance. But as new bombshells arrive on the Island, which couples will stand the test of time and make it all the way to the final, and have a chance of bagging the $50,000 cash prize.”

Sounds like it’s going to have all the drama of the UK series, then.

Love Island Australia starts on Monday 15 June at 9pm on ITV2.
