Love Island UK 🏝 - series 13 - begins Monday 1st June on ITV2

[mumofoneAloneandwell]

Gosh it's almost June already!

Season 13 will apparently have a World Cup theme - trying to recapture the magic of 2018 maybe?

I've heard there will also be more games as well, for fans of those.

Will anyone join me? I promise Gifs, gossip and judgement as always 🤭

Please expect spoilers from the First Look and tabloids 👀🏝

Hot Irish Fella is not in any way hot or attractive 🤢

Same old mostly, for me.

One positive - they finally got to choose their own matches. I've been whanging on for years that choosing for them didn't work. However, it would have been better to do it by secret ballot. People don't want to offend face to face.

Prediction: Ellie in tears before long

Agree ref getting red flags from Lorenzo saying wants to be with the girl all other men want and using the words “promiscuous” and “bitch”

I’m really liking both Mica and Samraj together and as individuals. Their connection seems genuine.

Aidan is your bog standard cheeky chappy. I can’t see the appeal but he’ll probs get attention because of his “charm” and his shit tattoos.

Jasmine gives off an air of superiority so I’m interested to see how her personality develops. I instantly thought she seems like a bitch but that could just be because she’s very attractive and very confident.

Thought the blonde Scottish girl seemed nice.

Overall I think it’s a good mix so far. Thought both bombshells seemed less interesting than anyone in there so far so it seems a shame that they will replace 2 people.

Oh, I also didn’t think Irish guy was hot whatsoever but he does seem to have a good personality!

Viewing figures

600k is insanely poor 😬

😄😄😄 i am willing to stipulate that I might have been bamboozled by the accent 😍

😄😄 its a shame its gone so wrong

I dont think there is anyone streaming love island USA 🤔 otherwise id make a thread

Cba to stream illegally, all those pop up ads for horny women in my area 😫😫

Is there a Love Island USA? I much prefer them!

Edited to add: I'm guessing it's not on terrestrial TV or streaming?

Yeah it starts today! Their cast already looks more interesting

Apparently itv will show it later on in the year, so ridiculous in 2026 🙄🙄

Well it didn't take long for an Irish national newspaper the Irish Independent rag to start on Sean being a teacher and role model and if the Department of Education should allow him back teaching after his appearance on Love Island.

It's a fair question, though. Esp when he's a primary teacher, and the kids will likely be watching. It's not appropriate

Lorenzo is a weird one. The promiscuous comment did genuinely seem that he'd got the word wrong, but I'm on the fence now.

I also guarantee that if he was with a woman that every guy wanted, then he'd be a possessive arsehole and would blame her for the attention she was getting...

I remember a bit of that when Kai went on LI a few years ago as he was a secondary school teacher. He went on to couple up with Sanam, win the show and they got married!

If his pupils are watching it then it's the fault of lazy parenting.

I thought the same re kids watching, but it is aimed at kids now 😫😫 which is part of why its so shite

Who gets excited over a kiss 🙄🙄

I cant imagine he wants to go back to teaching anyway 😄😄, love island is for becoming an influencer

The lad wants to join tyrique probably

Nah, it's lazy parenting to think that primary schoolkids wouldn't look up anything about a teacher at their school on Love Island

Please dont judge me girls but sometimes autistic dd watches with me as shes a terrible sleeper 😄😄

Well she sits next to me, shes not really watching

In all honesty, it's not usually very risqué any more. Some of the games are a bit much

I feel like its mostly on par with eastenders or drag race 😄

I'd turn her away for any risqué bits but there really arent many unfortunately

@mumofoneAloneandwell I think it should be compulsory viewing for school kids (probably seniors). It should be discussed in personal development or whatever they call the “useful” classes these days. There’s so much to be learnt about relationships, group dynamics, self-esteem etc! I think it would be so helpful for so many young people and would open the door for some decent discussions about all sorts of stuff.

I reckon the blonde bombshell will be able to back himself and get the girls

I dont really like any of the girls, I can only remember the bajan one with the English accent 🤷‍♀️

Not sure I'll watch the aftershow today, I think I'll watch the vardys instead but hopefully it'll improve?

Even though it being aimed at kids has ruined it imo, whats done is done and kids should be shown it since it can help

Can you believe that Tyrique is someone's role model?! 😫😫😫

I’m loving the Irish guy so far , more for his accent and personality than looks! They’re all too young for me to fancy anyway 😅 . Slightly off topic but at what age would you let your DC watch Love Island? I watched it with my DD last night and only really remembered today that it can become quite adult themed at times and it might be better not to let her watch it in future.
