Love Island is back! ITV confirms launch date for new series as they share teaser snap of host Maya Jama

Love Island will return to screens on Monday June 3 for the new series, it has been confirmed.

ITV announced on Wednesday that the 11th season of the reality dating competition will be returning in a matter of weeks.

Maya Jama will return to host the show once more after she took over from former presenter Laura Whitmore who left the show in 2022.

The Love Island Instagram account shared a stunning snap of Maya stood in front of a love heart engulfed in flames.

Alongside the photo, they wrote: ‘We’re coming in hot! Love Island returns Monday 3rd June’.

According to The Sun, ITV plans to launch the dating show simultaneously across ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX for the first time ever.

A source told the publication of the change to launch night: ‘ITV want to throw their weight behind Love Island and make sure it has a big, glitzy moment when the 11th series kicks off next month.

‘Showing it across every channel means creating what they hope will be a big TV moment. It shows there is still a real commitment to the format even nine years on.

‘Using the full might of ITV means reaching every demographic, including the crucial 16-34s.’ 

ITV has been contacted by MailOnline for comment. 

The channel used a similar launch strategy for Big Brother when it was rebooted last October which achieved an impressive 2.5million overnight viewers.
