Laura Whitmore poses in a cleavage-boosting jumpsuit while flying the Love Island flag

All signs pointed to Majorca on Monday as Laura Whitmore prepared for the imminent return of Love Island.  

The presenter, 37, will resume her role as host of the hugely popular show for the third time when its eighth series launches on the Spanish island in June.

And she already had one foot in the newly refurbished villa while posing for a final promotional shoot, during which the latest crop of gym-honed Islanders were revealed. 

Let’s go: All signs pointed to Majorca on Monday as Laura Whitmore prepared for the imminent return of Love Island 

The presenter flew the flag for Love Island – quite literally – while dressed in a cleavage boosting denim jumpsuit with a retro kick-flare detail. 

Laura’s nod to the 1970s was completed with a pair of cork wedge-heels, while her tousled blonde hair was neatly styled with a conventional centre-parting. 

This year’s contestants include Paige Thorne, 24, from Swansea, Senior Microbiologist Dami Hope, 26, from Dublin, and Indiyah Polack, 23, a hotel waitress and model from London. 

Tasha Ghouri, 23, from Thirsk is a model and dancer and the show’s first ever deaf contestant. 

The blonde beauty, who was born deaf, went viral last year when she showed her cochlear implant in a earring commercial for fast fashion brand ASOS. She said at the time: ‘No matter what disability you’ve got, you can do it’.

Looking for love: Dami Hope was unveiled as a new Love Island contestant on Monday morning 

Meanwhile, the brand new Love Island villa finally looks near completion. The original Mallorcan Love Island villa was sold back in March for €3m, (£2.57m) and the new location has been unveiled.

New images last week showed that a fire pit has been constructed inside the new six-bedroom mansion where contestants will gather for eliminations and recouplings.

This year’s islanders will have plenty of space in the villa’s outdoor area which also features a 20m swimming pool with a stunning view of the Mallorcan countryside.

Workmen were seen roaming around the outdoor area as they put the finishing touches to the property, which has a more rustic feel than the previous villa.

It was revealed earlier this year that bosses for the popular ITV2 dating series had started hunting for a new space in a bid to ‘enhance the show’, after filming at the same property for five years.

The new property sits at the foot of a hill in a rural area of the island. Season one and two of Love Island was filmed at a property in southern Majorca’s Santanyi region before being moved to Sant Llorenç des Cardassar in the north-east of the island.  

Romantic: The fourth Islander to be revealed is Liam Llewellyn, 22, from Newport, South Wales – a Masters Student in Strength and Conditioning
