Coming Monday 28 June.

Just reading this about the improved support contestants will be receiving - counselling sessions and social media support. Love Island: ITV announces new contestant welfare measures

First contestant confirmed is Sharon Gaffka, former winner of beauty competition Miss International UK. (I wonder how people get in to beauty pageants). She is apparently also an ambassador for The Young Women's Trust, an organisation promoting financial equality for women.

This is interesting choice on Sharon's part, given that former islander Zara Holland was stripped of her Miss GB title after she had sex on the programme.

I’m in. Not a fan of Whitmote either. Emily Atak is a great suggestion.

I do hope it’s not all kids of celebs…

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 19/06/2021 09:38

Also not a fan of Whitmore, she is not the right person to present LI. Like others have said Emily would be a great choice. She’s fun, lively, a little bit cheeky and would ask the right questions. Someone notify ITV quick as I’m not sure I can watch another series with Whitmore.

We need an mn petition Grin.

Caroline flack was so good because she was warm and likeable. Whitmore is just so chippy, someone should tell her to stop posting publicly on sm her arrogance is really unattractive.

sweatervest · 19/06/2021 17:13

we should so get an emily atack petition going. she's such a nice person and would just genuinely be invested in the people on LI and if someone was mean to someone she'd be all over it in a good way and she's so relatable (err - becuase we were all in the inbetweeners and had our own show on itv2?!) ... but you know what i mean.

can't wait for this escapism to start. so need it.

Sharon's pals claim she will NOT be having sex on tv like Zara....we'll see poppet, we'll see....

Luxury events host? Is that the waiter who hands out the champagne?

blossomhillx · 21/06/2021 11:52

They are showing the contestants on I saw it firsts insta page atm!

Emily Atack would be great! She comes across as someone with a great sense of humour. Can’t wait!

And on Twitter. Surprised that a PE teacher is going on.

It's not the same without caroline flack but I'll be watching anyway as I do love the show

HangingOver · 21/06/2021 13:09

I'm in Grin

HangingOver · 21/06/2021 13:12

Hugo is going to be a havoc maker

HangingOver · 21/06/2021 13:12

Liberty looks like the Dimbo twins missing triplet

Holyfacemask · 21/06/2021 20:27

Signing in for this years threads. I’ve name changed so many times since the last series no one will recognise me but needless to say I am here and I cannot bloody wait - these threads are the best bit!

I don’t mind Whitmore but Atack is an awesome shout.

DavidTheDog · 21/06/2021 21:39

Based on nothing other than instagram, I like the look of Jake and Sharon.

I wish they didn't all look so similar.

I wish they'd do a mature/normal version. It could be in the winter and set in a ski chalet. I guess mature adults wouldn't be bothered with playing the game though.

Holyfacemask · 22/06/2021 11:03

I’m liking the look of Brad and Faye so far I think. Also like Hugo and Aaron and Jake and Kaz. Boys are winning me over with their personalities so far but lookswise probably Brad or Jake for me.

blossomhillx · 22/06/2021 12:28

Liberty looks completely different in the LI promo shoots to her InstagramBlushlooks nothing like her! Chloe and Faye look like the same person. Agree Sharon is gorgeous

DavidTheDog · 22/06/2021 16:14

Here are the instagram accounts. The women's accounts are depressingly predictable - big bums, big boobs and big lips in hot, sunny places. Lots of semi-pained, semi-shocked, open-mouthed poses. Not much in the way of smiles or joy.

Faye faye_winter

Chloe chloe__burrows

Shannon shannonsinghhh

Kaz kazkamwi

Liberty libertypoolex

Sharon sharongaffka

The men's are a bit more varied, but show more smiling, sport, travel, friendship and family as well as fashion and flesh.

I love Love Island for all of the human interactions, the sunshine, the drama etc. but I am old enough to know better. I feel really, really sorry for young women, and to a growing extent, young men who have this modelled to them.

PeteWicksSexyPirate · 22/06/2021 17:07

Hiya can I join too please! Smile
I read the love island threads last year but I was still lurking in the shadows!
Glad a lot of them are a bit older this year mid-late 20s as past couple of years they’ve been late teens/20/21

I also wish the show wasn’t geared towards teens these days, it’s so scripted and PC
I want it back like the dirty days of series 1-3 Grin

Anyhoo can’t wait for it to start!
