NARRATOR: The sun is rising on a brand‐new summer of lighthouse...

Sorry, love. The picture threw me.

And the class of 2019 is on its way to paradise.

Newsflash, this year, the producers decided the villa needed a revamp,

so they went down the pub with a load of Post‐its

to write down their big ideas.

Nine lagers later, someone noticed the Post‐its were yellow.

Et voila.

Oi! That room is nowhere near yellow enough.

Better.

There's also a new snug, the make‐up room's had a bit of work done,

and that gorgeous new bedroom is sure to encourage hours of,

what's the word again?

Sleep.

As ever, to make it all the way to the final day

and a shot of winning 50 grand, our islanders need to couple up.

The ability to wave your arms in the air like you just don't care

in a moving car is also essential.

Yes, here comes those ladies.

Nearly fell over. Hello.

Hi, I'm Amy. I'm Amber.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I can't believe we're here.

And that's the actual villa.

And we're gonna go in.

It's so beautiful.

It's real life.

Yeah, I know.

Are we the first people here? we're. Where is everyone?

First ones in. First ones in 2019.

Hi, I'm Amy, I'm 26.

I'm from Worthing, and I'm an international air hostess.

Life as an air hostess, you're here, there and everywhere.

Which makes finding a boyfriend really impossible.

I was once invited to join the mile‐high club,

but really, have you seen the toilets?

Disgusting.

I have been single forever, I've never had a proper boyfriend.

I don't know why I'm so unlucky in love.

I've been ghosted so many times, my phone's like a Ouija board.

There is nobody out there.

I need someone to make me laugh, halfway between a gym body

and a dad bod. We like a cuddle,

and we also like a bit of eye candy to look at.

Going into the villa is like pressing the reset button

on my life. Hopefully I'm gonna find my Prince Charming

to sweep me off my wedges.

There we go. Right, do you want to get your glass?

That view is so beautiful.

Cheers. Cheers!

2019.

We're here!

I wish I'd taken some photos now.

I'm Amber, I'm 21 and I'm a beauty therapist from Newcastle.

I'm funny, bit of a diva, and a little bit sassy.

People always say I've got a resting bitch face, all the time.

My natural face is quite miserable.

I'm just being honest.

I've never been rejected in my life,

Oh, my God, I'd be shook!

I don't know what I'd do. It's never happened before.

I can be a bit of a man‐eater, I eat boys for breakfast.

And if you do do something that's really nasty,

I will ruin your life. That works well for us.

Saying that, I'm single, so it probably doesn't work that well.

I would like to be in love, who wouldn't?

Fingers crossed I can find that in Love Island.

There's the little gym that I'll never go to.

Erm... Right, so what's your type, then?

I don't really have a type, looks‐wise,

but I just want someone funny, someone I can have banter with.

Yeah.I'm really easy‐going, I'm really spontaneous,

I just want someone I can have a really fun life with.

I have a lot of love to give,

and I tend to give it to the people that don't reciprocate it.

I've never had a boyfriend.

I've been seeing guys, but I've never had a boyfriend before.Ever?

Ever. How old are you?26.

Shit.I know. Exactly, which is why I'm here.

I feel like if there is anyone that is gonna be my match,

it's gonna be here.

WHOOPING

So exciting.

Oh, my God. I can hear someone coming.

Wow. I cannot believe it.

Hello.

Hello.

This is crazy.

I love that skirt! Blingy!

Here you go. Finally.

Anna, nice to meet you.

Amy. Hi, Amy. Anna.

Would you like a drink?

Yes, please. How are you feeling? All right?

Now you're in here. Excited.

Wow! So beautiful.

My name is Anna. I'm 28 years old.

I'm from London, and I'm a pharmacist.

Anyone that comes in the pharmacy, they go,

"Can I speak to the pharmacist?" I'm like... "That's me."

I'm never gonna find someone at work,

because everyone is old, or they're sick, so not in the mood.

Having Middle Eastern parents, they're on my case,

like, "You're 28 years old, Anna, you need to get married

"and have kids. You only have three years left before nobody wants you."

Excuse me. Meghan Markle got married at 36.

Was it 36?

I still have time.

I'm very high maintenance.

I definitely have a big check list when it comes to men.

They've got to be smart, funny, loyal, honest.

Animal lover, because I love animals.

He has to be focussed on me.

I can't wait to get in the villa.

Boys, beware, Storm Anna is coming.

You've got a nice bum, as well. Thank you! Yeah, you have.

I just looked at that, like, aw... I wasn't gonna go to the gym.

I'm gonna now! I'll have to do some more squats.

What is your type? He has to be tall.

Either tall, or... tall and skinny

or short and big.

Because I'm a big girl.

I need, like... Never short, though.

I'm 5' 9".

Never short! Not shorter than me.

Shorter than me...Shorter than you?

If he's big and he's got the balls, like a man.

It doesn't matter when you're lying down.

Babe, we can't be fussy, you know.

Whoo!

Oh, my God, it's so pretty!

Hi, guys. Hello!

You look amazing.

I'm so jealous!

What is your name? Yewande, sorry.

Do you want a drink? Yeah.

My name is Yewande and I'm a 22‐year‐old scientist from Ireland.

I went to uni at 16

and studied biotechnology and I work with vaccines for cancer,

so it's nice to be able to give people a better quality of life.

I wouldn't say I'm Ireland's most garlanded scientist,

but I'd say I'm up there.

I have been single for four years,

which is such a long time.

I feel that's my entire life.

I've definitely been heartbroken.

When I go on a date, it's never what I expected

and we never get on, don't have anything to talk about,

it's just real awkward.

Really hard to find the time to date,

because I'm always working or studying.

Going into the villa,

hopefully make me a little bit more confident.

Swapping my lab coat for a bikini, and hopefully, find love.

What do you do? I'm a scientist.

Wow!Oh, my God! I'm a pharmacist!

That's class.

I'm an air hostess.

I can do CPR.

I'm a beauty therapist. That's nice.Bit disappointing.

No, it's not.

Oh, I can't wait!

Wow!

It's so pretty.

Hi girls! How are you?

I'm OK! How are you? Good, how are you?

You all look amazing.

I love your hair! Thank you. It's lush.

Have you got drinks?

How nice is it? It's lush.

A couple of bum pics in there.

I'm Lucie, from Cornwall, and I'm a surfer.

Everyone does call me a surfing Barbie.

My boobs do get annoying at times.

When I'm surfing, they do come out sometimes,

but that's all right for the guys, when they're surfing,

they're like, "Yeah, love that."

I have been single since December.

I always end up finding a boyfriend in the summer,

it lasts for six months and then I've got bored.

In the villa, you're probably gonna hear

some new and weird words.

Bev...

A bev is a hot guy.

If he's your boyfriend he's your bev,

but if he's not your boyfriend, he's a bev.

I can't wait to have the best summer ever.

This surfing Barbie needs to find a bev.

What do you do? I'm a surfer.

Oh!

Have you guys tried surfing before?

Never.You would love it, I think.

You would love it. How long have you been single for?

I have never had a relationship longer than six months.

I really want someone long‐term.

What goes wrong? Little things annoy me.

Even wearing flip‐flops, if they don't have nice feet,

that will annoy me. That will put me off.

So if I find someone, you have got to hide the flip‐flops from him.

No, I dunno what it's. I haven't found the right guy yet,

I don't think.

NARRATOR: Help is at hand, Lucie,

because she's glam, she's hot, she's doing a slo‐mo shot,

it's the Flak!

ALL:Oh, my God!

THEY SQUEAL

Hello, ladies.

How exciting is this?

You all look incredible.

Are we ready for love?

Yeah!

Look at you all.

Ladies,

let's talk love. Who's looking for the real thing?

I think we all are. Has it been a long time waiting?

Yes, I'm 28, so yeah.

Have you been in love before, Anna?

I have, yes, I got heartbroken.

I'm feeling positive, though.

You're a pharmacist, what would you prescribe for heartbreak?

There is no... Time.

And the villa.

This is for heartbreak, right here.

You're in the right place, girls. Yewande, when

was the last time you were in love?

I have never been in love. I'm 23, never been in love.

That is why we're here.

Describe your ideal boy. Blonde, longish hair,

a lot of hair.

A bit like you? Like me, he's gotta match me.

Like two lions together, really.

A bit of a dude, I think.

I like that.

Amber, have you got a type?

Someone that goes to the gym and makes us laugh,

and I think I wanna go for looks now, cos I haven't previously.

You're going for looks.

I love that. Most people go for looks and then go for personality.

I have got to try something different.

I want someone I can connect with and banter off.

Just good conversation

What is a massive no‐no?

Arrogance, probably, and a wandering eye.

Can't deal with it.

I want someone devoted to me as much as I'm devoted to them.

Are you ready to meet some boys?

Are you ready to meet some men? ALL:Yes!

No boys. Let's do it.

OK, girls, it's time to couple up.

The boys will come in one by one,

and I'll ask you to step forward if you fancy them.

The boy will then decide which girl he wants to couple with up.

It's as simple as that.

Are you ready to meet our first boy?

ALL:Yes!

You sound ready!

You look ready! We really are.

Everybody, this is Anton.

THEY CHEER

I bet you don't expect a Scottish accent coming out of this!

Oh, my God!

I'm Anton, I'm 24, from Scotland and I own my own gym.

The gym has changed my life,

because it's given me more confidence with my body.

Always attracts the girls, which usually helps as well.

Even though I've got big muscles,

I definitely am a Mummy's boy.

My mum chucked me out when I was 19 years old

because I was bringing too many girls home.

The final straw was when she came in my room one day,

and there were two in my bed. How do you explain that to your mum?

I have been in a relationship since I was 14 years old.

When I'm in a relationship, I have a severe medical condition,

it's called a wandering eye.

Love Island's gonna be a test for me. If I do like someone,

I'll try my best to stick by them the whole way.

If that wandering eye comes out again,

I don't know if I'll be able to.

He looks like actual fake stone.

Hi Caroline, how are you? Very well, thank you, how are you?

I've had worse days.

Six beautiful women.

Welcome to the Love Island villa. How are you feeling?

I feel good.

It's all about finding your perfect match,

and it starts here, with your important decision

about who you want to couple up with.

The great news is, you're in first, so you get first pick.

How about that? Amazing.

OK, before you make your decision, I'm gonna make it easier,

and I'm gonna ask the girls to step forward if they fancy you.

Awkward?

A little bit. I'm a little bit nervous.

Girls, if you fancy Anton, please step forward.

Amy has stepped forward for you. Why did you step forward?

Because I have eyes.

He's really, really fit.

I saw him come in and I was like, "Yes."

You can choose to couple up with Amy,

or any of the four girls that didn't step forward.

The choice is down to you.

Which girl would you like to couple up with?

Amy, of course.

Off you go. Lovely to meet you.

We have our first island couple of 2019, Amy and Anton.

Amy, how do you feel? Really happy.

Is he as good close up? Yes.

How are you feeling, Anton?

I feel like I should have wore bigger heels,

but Amy can take hers off. Yeah, I will do.

Anna, why didn't you step forward?

I feel like I'm too tall for him.

He would have to get in really big heels.

Amber, why didn't you step forward?

Do you shave your legs?

Yes.

Do you shave your whole body?

My mum usually shaves my bum for me.

That'll be Amy's job now, of course.

This is the weirdest start.

Lucie, why didn't you step forward? I think it's the accent,

I'm sorry. No, it's fine.

not the accent for me.

Are we ready to meet our next boy?

Please meet Sherif.

This place is mad!

My name is Sherif, I'm 20 years old, from South London,

and I'm a rugby player.

So I have been single for about a year and a half.

I'm labelled as a bit of a player,

not because I two‐time, only because I dare to do what others wouldn't.

If a girl's not showing real interest,

next week you may catch me with her best friend, or cousin, even.

I live at home with my mum.

My mum would probably prefer that I find love and a nice girl

to settle down with, rather than play the dog role.

I'm coming on Love Island to find love.

I think the idea of a solid relationship

is better than the idea of being a player my whole life.

But also to find a good girl with a nice bum to take home to mum.

Hi. Hi, Caroline.

You look fit.

Nice shirt. Sherif, welcome to Love Island.

Look at these gorgeous five girls in front of you.

Wow. What do you think?

Blown away initially, they all look absolutely fit and ready to go.

We have one Love Island couple, Anton and Amy,

and we have four single ladies here looking for love.

Amber, Anna, Lucie, and Yewande.

You can couple up with any of the girls standing in front of you,

even Amy, who is in a couple.

But before we give you that,

Shall we see who has taken a shine to you?

OK girls, if you fancy Sherif, step forward.

No, I would have stepped forward! It's what it's.

Each to their own.

It's because you shaved your legs.

I haven't shaved them!

That's even worse.

Girls, I do grow hair!

OK no‐one stepped forward, how are you feeling?

All right, it's what it's, long time to go.

Girls, come on!

This guy is gorgeous. Amber, why didn't you step forward?

It's the shirt.

Yewande, why didn't you step forward? Definitely the shirt.

You're just saying that! You thought that was a good answer.

They've all gone for the shirt.

Fair enough. It's what it's. It's just clothes.

It's not down to the girls to decide who they want to couple up with,

it's down to you.

Sherif, who would you like to couple up with?

I'm gonna choose Amber.

She's absolutely my type.

Off you go.

Hiya, how you doing?

Nice to meet you, girls.

It's nice to be picked. Yes, thank you for picking me.

You can stand closer together if you want.

I don't hate you! You do look gorgeous together.

We have our second Love Island couple, Amber and Sherif.

You haven't stepped forward yet, Yewande, what are you waiting for?

I'm waiting for that instant attraction

when you get butterflies.

Lucie, what are you waiting for?

I need my dude, where is he? With the hair.

You need messy hair dude.

Anna, what are you waiting for?

I'm waiting for the flutters, and someone that is my type.

Someone tall. Tall. Yeah, definitely.

Are you ready to meet boy number three?

ALL:Yes.

I said that a bit loud, didn't I?

Sorry! No offence.

This is Michael.

What's happening? How are you?

Good, thank you. Look at those tats!

Thank you.

There's plenty of them to go around.

You don't meet many real‐life heroes,

especially one as good‐looking as me.

I'm Michael, 27, I'm a firefighter from Liverpool.

I have always wanted a bit of thrill in my life,

and we help people. We're your local heroes.

I have never saved a cat,

but I have saved a cow.

People look at me and see the tattoos and muscles,

and see you're an attractive lad,

and think there's nothing else to him.

I have a degree in biomedical sciences,

I like human genetics and space and stuff like that.

I have actually got a brain.

Relationships don't seem to stick with me.

People see me as a player, but I'm not,

I'm a really nice guy, trying to find someone to be with.

I think that I am what the villa needs.

Who wouldn't want to couple up with me?

Welcome to the Love Island villa. How are you feeling?

Yes, I'm all right. A little bit nervous?

Yeah, I am now! It's good to be nervous.

Let me bring you up to speed.

We have two couples.

We have Amy and Anton,

Amber and Sherif,

and three gorgeous single girls,

Yewande, Lucie and Anna.

You can choose to couple up with any of the girls.

Even if they're in a couple.

Before you decide, let's make it a little bit easier for you.

Can I step forward?

LAUGHTER

Ladies, if you fancy Michael, please step forward.

Yes! Lucie!

Lucie, why did you step forward?

I have two types, really.

I have my surfer dude type,

and I have bad boy type with tattoos and piercings.

I like that. Michael, are you a bad boy?

It depends, I can be. I can be.

If she wants you to be. Yeah.

Lucie has stepped forward for you, she's gorgeous.

It's your decision who you want to couple up with.

You can choose any of the five girls.

Michael, who would you like to couple up with?

I think Lucie is lovely.

She is.

APPLAUSE

How are you? Good, thanks, how are you?

I'm all right now.

You look really nice together. We do, don't we?

He's really nice, up close.

We have our third Love Island couple, Lucie and Michael.

OK, Anna, you're still single. Why didn't you step forward?

There's still no‐one taller than me.

I know I'm really tall. I know I'm tall, but still!

What if you meet someone shorter and they're amazing?

I want to see if there is.

Yewande, what is it gonna take to make you step forward?

He looks like a heartbreaker.

Why does he look like a heartbreaker?

The tattoos, the pecs.

Is that a compliment, or not? I don't know, either!

Are you a heartbreaker, Michael?

I'm a nice guy.

It's time to meet our fourth boy. Everyone, let's meet Joe.

What's happening, girls?

I'm Joe, I'm 22, from south‐east London,

and I have my own catering company.

Round my area everyone knows me as the sandwich man.

Who doesn't love sandwiches?

If I was to describe my ideal girl as a sandwich,

it would be pulled pork chunky coleslaw in a nice baguette.

You can never go wrong with pulled pork.

I'm really family‐orientated.

My parents are super loved‐up.

I guess I look up to them and want what they've got.

I have been single just shy of a year.

I miss all the cute stuff.

I miss the cuddles and watching Netflix, eating snacks.

The girl I want to meet is someone really fun,

like, outgoing, doesn't take herself too seriously.

I don't like girls who think they're better than sliced bread,

because there's nothing better than sliced bread.

I want to find a girl of my dreams,

and hopefully she can have a slice of my sandwich empire.

I like your two‐piece. Thank you.

What do you think of our lovely girls?

They're looking stunning today.

I will get you up‐to‐date. We have three couples,

we have Amy and Anton. We have Lucie and Michael.

We've got Amber and Sherif.

and two lovely single ladies, Yewande and Anna.

You can choose to couple up with any girl you want.

The choice is completely yours.

Ladies, you know the rules.

If you fancy Joe, please step forward.

Oh, savage! I'm sorry.

It's the hair. He's made for you, isn't he?

Why did you leave Michael behind?

He's more my type, and it's the hair.

Just love a good hair. It's the curls.

Michael, how are you feeling? It's what it's.

Aw!

I still fancy you.

Still got people I fancy, myself. Absolutely.

Yewande, why did you step forward?

He seems cool and chilled and I think we would get along.

Joe, who would you like to couple up with?

I think I want to couple up with Lucie.

I'm sorry, I really am.

Hi. Lovely to meet you.

Michael, I'm afraid you're gonna have to sit on the subs bench.

Just over there.

Michael! How are you feeling?

I'm all right. You can have a sunbathe.

I can chill for a bit.

What do you think about Lucie and Joe as a couple?

She said she wanted a surfer guy, he looks more like a surfer than I do.

We have a brand new couple, Lucie and Joe.

Yewande, how are you feeling?

It's fine, the sky hasn't fallen down.

It's grand.

Anna, what is it gonna take?

You can't just say height, because Joe's taller than you.

I'm just fussy, I'm hoping the next guy will be the one.

I'm hoping too. Amy and Anton, how are you over there?

Having a lovely time. Oh, good. Quite settled.

I have been grabbing on to her tight the whole time.

Shall we find out who is next?

ALL:Yes!

Please welcome Callum.

Hi, everyone.

My name is Callum, I'm 28, from South Wales,

and I'm an aircraft engineer. Some people think I'm clever

because of my job, but I'm just good with my hands.

I just think I should have been born in the 1920s or something,

because I'm not like a normal lad.

I'm old‐fashioned, in my way. I like romance and that type of thing.

On Sunday morning I like to listen to Steve Wright Sunday Love Songs.

My favourite love song

is Take That, A Million Love Songs.

Classic. The boys are gonna rip me for that!

Girls‐wise, if I can be what I'm like with the boys,

and they like for me it, I will stick a ring on it.

I'm hoping this summer's gonna be like my fairytale.

Imagine the idea of just sitting down with your kids one day

and saying, "Do you know how we met?

"We have it on record, have a watch."

How are you? Good, thank you, how are you?

Lovely to meet you. Oh, nice.

First boy that's given me a kiss, just pointing it out.

Gentleman here. Hi, everyone.

You're all looking stunning. OK, Callum.

We have three couples.

We have Amy and Anton, Lucie and Joe,

Amber and Sherif,

two single ladies, Yewande and Anna,

and the gorgeous Michael sitting on the subs bench.

Ladies, this may be your last chance to step forward.

Callum, let's find out which girls fancy you.

She was thinking about it and she did it.

Amber stepped forward for you. She was coupled up with Sherif.

She must like you.

Amber, why did you step forward?

The gent thing does it for me.

I liked how he came over and greeted you properly.

That is what I live for. You did the right thing.

I was the winner.

You love the way he looks. Yes.

Sherif, how are you feeling?

If I'm not her type, I'm not her type, innit?

Anna, to be on Love Island, you have to be in a couple!

Yewande, same goes for you, hun.

But I did try.

I tried.

Why didn't you step forward for Callum?

I dunno, I should have stepped forward.

You should have! I dunno why I didn't.

OK, Callum, down to you.

It's still your choice. You can pick any of our girls,

who would you like to couple up with?

I'd love to couple up with Amber.

Aw, that's nice. Off you go.

Sherif, you're gonna have to join Michael on the subs bench.

Does that make you feel better, Michael?

I was happy over here, anyway. It's one of those things.

The shirts match on the bench now.

It's ideal.

Unintentional coordination. LAUGHTER

Amber, how are you feeling? Better, yeah.

Callum, would you have chosen Amber if she hadn't stepped forward?

Yes, she caught my eye. Would you? Yeah.

That's nice.

We have a new couple, Amber and Callum.

OK we have two single ladies, Yewande and Anna.

It's time to get you two off the subs bench and coupled up.

Come and stand next to me.

Sherif, as you were the first boy in,

who would you like to couple up with, Yewande or Anna?

I'm gonna go with Anna.

Amazing, off you go.

APPLAUSE

You look lovely together.

Anna, he's taller than you.

I know, yeah, wow.

Michael, as the last single guy,

you're coupled up with the last single girl, Yewande.

Off you go. APPLAUSE

Congratulations, we now have our five couples.

THEY CHEER

The choices you've just made could decide

how long you stay in the villa.

In your couples,

you'll spend time getting to know each other,

taking on challenges together,

living together and even sharing a bed together.

ALL:Ooh!

In just eight weeks' time,

the public will be voting for their favourite couple.

That couple stands to win a massive £50,000 cash prize,

and be crowned the winners of Love Island 2019.

But don't forget, this is Love Island,

and the path to true love is never that simple.

There may be a few surprises around the corner,

and the first surprise may be sooner than you think.

ALL LAUGH NERVOUSLY

I will see you very soon.

VOICEOVER: It's been a busy first day in paradise.

Not for me. I've barely said five words.

But after the coupling up, our brand new love matches

are Amy and Anton,

Lucie and Joe,

Amber and Callum,

and after a quick trip to the subs bench,

Sherif picked Anna,

and Michael was paired with Yewande.

So what's up with you, then?

What kind of seven‐foot basketballer were you waiting for?

I am really tall.

Fair enough, nah, it's all good.

Amy stepped forward for Anton,

one of the few Scotsmen

whose six pack isn't half a dozen cans of Irn Bru,

and she wants to get to know him better.

Shall we have a chat on one of those beds? They look so comfy.

Yeah, let's go. Let's get a drink first.

Aw, man, thank God that's over with.

'When Anton walked into the villa,'

I was like, wow,

he's really fit. Turns out he's funny.

I'm happy I did step forward for him.

A bed outside. Oh, my God, it's even got a pillow.

Thank you very much for picking me.

Thank you for picking me, you didn't have to pick me.

You are my type, though, blonde, blue eyes.

I'm happy, genuinely.

I know most people'd say they would have picked you,

but I genuinely would have.

That's good to know.

I'm quite shy when it comes to going up and talking to guys.

So one of my resolutions before I came in here

was to be more confident and just to be more, if you like someone,

step forward for them.

You have to, though, don't you? Yeah.You kind of have to.

There's no holding back.

How old are you?26. 26, are you?

How old are you? I'm 24.

25 this year, if that helps.

Age is just a number. You must have been single

for a while? Forever.

Never had a proper boyfriend.

Shut up! You've never? Yeah.

So you'll heavy catch feelings, then?

I do, but then they don't like me.

Really? Yeah.

'She's never had a boyfriend at 26.'

It makes you wonder.

Maybe this could be the first one, you never know.

Hopefully I can give her a good experience with that.

Because I've waited so long for my Prince Charming,

then it's got to be... He needs to be perfect.

I don't like dating apps and stuff.

It's a minefield, there are so many people.

I can't date everyone from Tinder

in the hope there might be a connection.

So... Tinderella.

I'm looking for easy‐going,

fun, funny, likes banter,

and I picked you to look at you,

and when the boys were coming in

and you were giving them banter and I was like, yes.

That is Scottish patter.

All about the bants.

There are too many good‐looking people that have no chat whatsoever.

It's ridiculous, it's a waste.

Yes, utterly horrendous.

We could be coupled up the whole time,

and if you didn't have any chat, just looking at you would run out.

Looks fade. We won't look like this forever.There will be a time

when we don't look like this. This is our peak.

They're right. One day, Amy's looks will fade,

and one day, Anton's mum will tell him to shave his own arse.

Circle of life.

Meanwhile, Anna, Sherif, Lucie and Joe

are having a nosy around.

Oh, my God!

THEY GASP

They look so comfy.

Yeah.

It's huge as well.

It's well big.

'The villa is insane.'

If it's my home for however long,

I'm going to be buzzing living here, it's a dream.

You're from London, right? Yeah, how did you know?

Do you? Genuinely. I wasn't gonna say that out there, but yeah.

It's what it's. That means he thinks you're hot.

I don't know about that, I was second best.

I was. You weren't second best.

Did you step forward?

No!

You got my back.

But I was still second best.

Guys, if you'd followed that big sign,

your love lives would be all sorted.

We'll just have to drag this out for eight weeks.

All right, Callum, get cracking with Amber.

Are you glad I stepped forward for you?

You looked amazing, to be fair. Thank you.

When I first came down, I thought, "Yeah."

And when you stepped forward, I thought, "Winner."

It's mad.

Where are you from? I'm from Newcastle.

I'm from a place called Bridgend

in South Wales. You ever been to Cardiff? No.

Yeah, it's just outside a place called Cardiff.

'First impressions of Amber?'

Er...

She is lovely, really pretty.

We will see what happens.

I saw your smile and I was like, "Please step forward!"

I feel bad, though, cos I was smiling at everyone.

People might have thought that I was gonna...Step forward.

You took your time, mind.

Yeah, cos I was thinking who I would...

want to share a bed with the most.

You're the most gentleman‐like.

The double kiss with Caroline. Yeah, I liked that.

Personality‐wise, I do like more of a gent than a cocky...

How old are you?

I'm 21. How old are you? 28.

Ah, so you're old, then? Yeah.

I think the oldest girl's 28. Old!

Well, old‐er. Than me.I look quite young, though, don't I?

No.Do I look 28? Yeah.

Wrinkles? Yes.Do I?

I think I would be too much of a diva for you.

That's one thing I know.

We'll see what happens.

'My first impressions'

of Callum from that chat are I think

he's gonna be too nice for me. I can be hard work,

I need somebody that is gonna be able to, like...

cope with that. I don't ‐ he's too nice.

It's not her fault, Amber is drawn to rude, unpleasant men.

Wonder what Donald Trump looks like in a pair of budgie‐smugglers?

Time for the girls to touch base.

I feel like you two really suit your couples.

I'm really happy. Do you fancy him?

I fancy him, and I hope he fancies me,

and didn't pick me because I was the only one that stepped forward.

I feel like he likes you. Yeah, he's well happy.

The way he's looking at you, you can tell. Hopefully.

How do you feel about sharing the bed?

I'm fine with it.

You're in love already!

Yeah, great.

Yours reminds me of a One Direction or something.

ALL AGREE

He's like a Harry Styles. I fancy Harry Styles.

Do you?

I think he's so hot.

He's super cute.

He looks like a nice boy.

He looks like he could be a bit naughty.

I'm excited for that.

'Even meeting him for just today,'

I feel quite relaxed around him.

I'm well happy with him at the minute.

Are you happy with your couple?

I like him, we get along. We're both from London.

He's been following me for a year on Instagram.

It was meant to be!

Do you follow him back? No.

Because I go out a lot, I'm always out, "Party!"

That's probably what he sees all year.

You didn't step forward.

I didn't step forward, I didn't want to do it just because.

I feel like I did. He was a gent and I liked that,

He's not that funny.

Is he not? You can tell.

Callum? He's quite mature.

He's 28. But not like you.

28, like...

Like, I can talk to you.

With him, he's like... He's really serious.

What do you think of your guy? Cos you were like, "He's a bad boy."

I feel like he is. I feel he's a heartbreaker.

He's lovely, but looking at him,

I know you're not supposed to judge looks.

Do you fancy him? He is fit.

But my brain is like, "He's gonna break your heart,

"what is the point?"

At the coupling up,

scientist Yewande and Michael were paired together.

Or as she puts it,

"The cosine of X equals two squared over A plus seven

"to the power of Michael."

It's a science joke. It's very funny, trust me.

There is a lot to you. Like...

We can get on and have a laugh.

Like what? What do you think there is to me?

You do seem like you're up for a laugh.

You've got initial attraction and stuff like that,

but you never really know what goes on.

Yes, it's not that I wouldn't step forward for you,

I think it's just more, like... You thought I was a fuckboy.

Yeah, exactly!

I've been through all that,

and I don't want to do it to myself again.

I'm not supposed to have pre‐conceptions,

and stuff like that.

It's quite understandable, I do get that assumption a lot.

To be honest, it's the complete opposite.

Are you lying to me? I'm not lying to you.

How long have you been single for? About a year and a half.

No, sorry, that's a lie.

See? Lying to me already! What I was thinking was,

how long was my last relationship?

Why did it end? Sorry? Why did it end?

She left me.

Did she, why?

She just said she wasn't in the right place in life

and didn't really see herself in a relationship at that time.

So, just ended.

How old are you? 27.

How old are you? 23.

What is your job?

I'm a scientist, a biologist. Are you?

OK, OK.

I studied biotechnology as a degree.

OK. That is interesting, because I did biomedical science.

Did you? That's class! Yeah, yeah.

You work in the hospital labs?

I don't, no. I'm a firefighter. That's mad!

I go from graduating with a science degree

to running into burning buildings.

I wouldn't take you for the type. Not everybody would,

everybody is confused when I tell them about my degree.

They're like, "You did Science?"

I'm so shocked to find out

that he's a scientist as well. He studied biomedical science.

It was interesting talking to someone

who shared the same interests as you.

He's different, he's not...

I wouldn't really go for him.

Um... But he is surprising.

I don't know how it's gonna go.

Interesting.

I'm not good with names. What is your girl's name?

Amber.

Awkward. Don't know.

Was it cos she stepped forward?

Yeah, like, it's hard, mate, innit?

In the moment, and that.

She is a nice‐looking girl. She is stunning.

They're so different, though.

They're so different.

She's really pretty, to be fair.

What are you gonna sleep in tonight?

I thought I might go for a sexy PJ for the first night!

He's gonna love it!

He's gonna love that! I think you should go for it tonight.

Wear the bevvy outfit.

Listen to this one, boys. You see Amy,

she's never had a boyfriend, ever.

What? Never had a boyfriend.

How old is she? 26, mate.

Nah, you're chatting shit.

That is what she said. That's what she said.

That is a lie.

She's a sound girl. Sound girl. Just need to...

Just need to what?

You're gone, mate.

I'm gone, did you say? You're sold.

This is my sexy PJs I'm gonna wear tonight.

Oh, yeah!

I am totally gonna wake up with my tits out.

I might have to get someone to tighten it up.

I'll tighten it for you.

I'm gonna be the only one not going to bed sexy today.

I'm not.

I'll be doing it for one day and one day only.

This is a limited‐time offer!

I like bed socks.

I have woolly socks.You have what? Woolly socks.

Willy socks? Woolly.

Sorry. Willy.

Woolly. Oh!

I thought you said "willy socks".

Ain't nothing wrong with a willy sock, girls.

Only way to avoid shrinkage in winter.

As night falls, the islanders are working out what to wear.

I've got a spare willy sock if anyone's interested!

What type of outfit are you going for tonight?

Bevy or not bevy?

What does "bevy" mean, please?

Bevy means sexy.

I'm wearing this. That's bevy.

I feel like tonight is quite a good outfit, boys,

cos it's a party. I think the girls will be going full out, man.

How are you, OK? Yeah, we're good, thank you.

How is the unpacking going? Not too bad.

It's cold in here. Yous nervous?

Yeah, my eye's watering cos I'm wearing too much make‐up.

That's about it.

What do you think of your bev?

Anton, Anton the bev?

What happens if he goes in for a kiss?

High five. Would you?!

Goes in for a kiss, and I'm like, high five!

Who are the eyes on tonight, anyone?

I'm not gonna lie, man.

Lucie is fit. She is.

That is a bit of me.

I wonder what the lads are talking about.

I would put my house on it that they're talking about us.

Sherif is not sure where he stands with Anna,

so, sensibly, he's seeking the advice of his local pharmacist.

How are you feeling? I'm feeling all right.

How are you feeling? Good.

I'm really easy‐going, I don't know.

I feel it's calm when we're together.

I get on with you a lot.

I feel our energies are similar.

I feel out of everyone here, me and you, our energy's the most similar.

In all honesty, I was mad nervous during the first bit.

I find you mad intimidating.

I know you from Instagram, don't forget that.

That's cool.

I'm 28, and you're 20.

Quite a big thing as well. Yeah.

But I feel like we get on, and you're quite mature as well.

I think let's just take each day as it comes.

Exactly. That's how I feel. Let's see what happens.

We might end up being good friends, or...

Exactly.

Exactly. You never know.

You never know. But, yeah.

The more I'm spending time with you,

it's going in a good direction. The right direction, innit?

'Sherif has definitely grown on me.'

It started here, and went down a bit because I was second best,

and then went up and then I'm sure

it's gonna go up when his body heat keeps me warm at night,

and we'll just see what happens tomorrow.

It could go like this, or like this.

You do suit her.

You suit her. Our energies are pretty similar.

We're both just, like, free people.

I just don't know. We haven't had a full day in here.

I haven't really seen her talk to anyone else.

I've seen her talk to you, and that's about it.

She talks to no‐one.

'Me and Anna, we got...'

coupled up, I guess you could call it by default.

But we know that we're together in a way,

in one way, shape or form, and...

just, I feel like we're on the same page in that sense.

It's good. It's good.

Sherif and Anna on the same page, while Amy and Anton

are on the same all‐weather swinging sofa,

available now from the Love Island shop ‐ probably.

Do you think you would have stepped forward

for the other boys, truthfully?

No. No? Not Mike? Tattoos.

Too many tattoos. He's a lovely guy, but just not for me.

Just not for me.

And wouldn't have stepped forward for Joe.

Callum? Callum, maybe.

But only if there had been nobody else before.

Yeah, yeah. But the others... Not really your type, at all.

No. It's just all looks, though. It's based on solely looks.

Like you say, banter and everything with the boys and things.

It's being able to get on and having the same values,

both family‐orientated.

100%. Both quite laid‐back as well.

From what I can gather so far.

'Me and Amy are getting on amazing.'

She seems like an amazing girl. She has great chat.

There's not a dull moment with her.

But just when I seen Lucie tonight,

I just...

she done things to me, that way, she just...

was absolutely stunning tonight.

What's happening, boys?

All right.

How you doing, bro? Good.

How is your chat? She's a cool girl,

but at the end of the day, it's day one.

Ooh! He's gonna break it.

Aw, bro! He's gonna break it.

Don't say that.

We're gonna call you the heartbreaker.

I know you like her, but at the same time,

you're thinking

you'll never know what's gonna happen.

She is a cool girl, but...

just at the end of the day, day one. It's day one, boys.

At last, sandwich man Joe

has got the chance to speak to Lucie,

but first, he wants to make sure she's nice and toasty.

Strap in, guys, plenty more sandwich puns on this menu.

Stay there.

'He's very much a gentleman,'

and trying to take care of me, and I really like that.

It's really cute.

I'm really happy you stepped forward.

I don't want to say the ball's in your court.

I'm gonna play it tiptoey.

It's our first date, but we're sharing a bed.

It's a bit weird.

'He's so cute.'

He really is. I quite like him already.

It's the first day, so...

I'm quite excited to see what happens.

Have you tried surfing? I have never, no.

I feel like I need to be taught.

No.

You can teach me. What was that?!

You said "I need to be tall."

No! I was like, "No!"

"Can you teach me, Luce?"

I would love to teach you.

OK, sweet. I have to come down to Cornwall, then.

I'm going to speak to him.

I have a bit of a cold.

It's because I'm nervous, I get a cold when I'm nervous.

My throat gets a bit... I have been quiet today.

I actually do quite fancy you.

It makes me more nervous. You do? Yeah.

I couldn't not pick you.

You're the one I fancied straight away,

and you're really pretty as well.

Aw, thanks. I get this cool vibe from you.

'She said she was nervous around me,'

because she fancies me.

I think she's super.

Super attractive.

Can I interrupt you two lovebirds?

Can I get a chat with Joe?

Yeah.

I'll be back in a second.

What's happening?

Not much. It is what it is.

I like her. How about yourself?

How's your thing going? I do like her,

but can I be honest with you?

Yeah, be straight with me, bro. I'm well attracted to Lucie.

Really? Looks‐wise.

Looks‐wise, bro.

Let's be honest, she's the most beautiful girl in the villa.

Yes, that is why I went for her, do you know what I mean?

Obviously.

At the end of the day, right...

..I'm not gonna do anything,

but I think I would like to see where her head was at with you.

Cos she stepped forward.

She said the reason for not stepping forward to me

was the accent thing.

It's a small reason, isn't it?

I was chilled about Anton wanting to approach Lucie

and having a chat with her.

I was like, "Yeah, do it now."

I got this thing in my head, not jealousy,

I got, probably, maybe, a little bit jealous.

Can I have a chat with you? Yeah.

It's nice and warm over there.

You all right? Yeah, I'm OK.

I was coming over to see if you understand me?

I do, sorry about that.

No, don't be silly.

What's going on?

I'm getting on well with her. I really like her.

Cool girl.

Anton was like,

"I really fancy Lucie. I'm gonna have a chat with her."

I was like, "Listen, bro. Do what you've gotta do."

I'm not gonna lie.

Lucie is the one over there, right?

Ultimately, you can only ‐

this is what it boils down to, you can only be yourself

and let the girl choose.

How are things with Joe? Do you like him?

He's really nice, I really like him.

Do you know what, which is really weird,

it's, like, the first day, so it's kind of like,

you don't think that you're gonna find someone you really like.

Yeah.

But I feel like already, yeah,

a little bit. He's a cool guy.

The reason I pulled you to the side

is he was asking me how I was getting on with Amy,

and Amy is a great girl,

but my initial attraction was totally towards you.

Oh, really? Yeah,

a million percent.

Look, he's had to do it now.

This will run its natural course. Yeah.

You can't force this, bro.

Say worst comes to the worst,

she ends up going with somebody else.

It wasn't meant to be.

I'm a believer in what will be, will be.

She's cool, really fit.

I fancy her.

I think you've got it. I think you got it.

I was trying to see if ‐

not if you were attracted to me ‐

well, yes, I suppose I was.

You walked down,

and we were all like, "Oh, my God, look at him."

Like, abs, oh, my God.

You're very good‐looking.

But my type is normally, like, more surfer‐looking.

I was gonna say that that, I didn't know that's what you do.

My type, on paper,

blonde, really, really into the gym, fit‐looking,

and I just think that, obviously, I came out,

and it was between you and Amy anyway,

but you never stepped forward, you were straight up "no."

I'm not saying step on Joe's toes, but if you would be interested,

just getting to know each other. Definitely.

I don't know if you feel there is initial attraction.

I think I find you good‐looking... I'd rather you just be honest.

..but I haven't found anything there.

We haven't spoken yet. That's true.

That's why I wanted to pull you to the side. Yes.

I'm looking to find someone here.

I am not gonna waste time.

Not saying... Amy's a cracking girl, but I am so attracted to you.

I came up the stairs tonight, and I was just...

Yeah. Do you know what I mean?

I think you are a lovely‐looking girl,

I wouldn't want to...

I wouldn't want you not to know that.

If you're up for it,

we can have a few chats in the rest of the time.

That is entirely up to you.

We have so much time.

To get to know everyone.

Hopefully my accent will grow on you.

Yes.Perfect.

'The chat with Lucie...'

I think she could be keen.

After all, she is only human, come on.

The cheek of Anton!

Peachy, pert, and thanks to his mum, silky smooth.

but he's about to regret spilling the beans to Lucie.

What's the matter? I dunno, it's a bit weird.

What did he say?

I don't know if he's gonna come over.

It's fine, no.

I am not gonna beg someone that doesn't fancy me.

That doesn't mean he doesn't fancy you.

Nice personality.

He said, like, he was attracted to you,

and he likes blondes, "But I have to put it out there."

I was like, "OK."

When Lucie said it to me, I was a bit, um...

upset is not the word, because it's only day one,

but I did feel a bit embarrassed.

I think because I have been hurt before

and made to look really, really stupid before,

I don't want that to happen again.

It's day one, I'm not expecting him

to couple up and say "Let's get married!"

It's day one.

He gave it, earlier on,

"It's so easy to say I would have picked you,

"I totally would have picked you." He did say that,

"She's so beautiful, she is my type, she's blonde."

But he said, "You're blonde as well."

He's not said anything to her.

I think it's weird, and I said something to her. I feel really bad.

I hate being in these situations.

He's just not my type, he's not for me.

He's not interested, I'm fine with that.

I hope he would tell me,

and then I can then go and not look like an absolute dickhead,

and b, actually explore other avenues.

He can fancy other girls, that's fine.

You're all fit.

True!

I'm not wearing the sexy PJs now!

LAUGHTER

The islanders are off to play a game of Never Have I Ever.

And Never Have I Ever, the board game,

is available now in the Love Island shop.

Never ever have I cheated whilst in a relationship.

How many girlfriends did you cheat on?

You have to remember that one.

Two. How many girlfriends

have you had? Four.

Wow. Pretty mad.

Never have I ever had sex in a nightclub.

Wait, wait, Lucie drank there!

I had a full‐on boyfriend

and we went in the toilet, fell asleep there and then woke up.

ALL CLAMOUR

We walked out, and we were like,

"What?!" We were shocked. It was all shut down,

Everyone had gone, we had to go out the fire exit.

Classy.

Never have I ever a threesome.

I knew you were gonna drink.

What's the story, Anton?

I used to be a naked butler.

We used to play a game, the girl would bounce on your lap

to burst the balloon.

These two girls were doing everything together.

It just happened from there.

I love how you were like,

"They were trying to burst the balloon,

"so it obviously led to a threesome."

I was gonna let that slide.

It was a long time ago.

PHONE ALERT

Was that you? That might have been me.

I got a text.

"Islanders, it's time for the real games to begin.

"Please welcome your new arrivals.

"Hashtag double trouble, hashtag box‐fresh,

"hashtag hot to foxtrot."

Two of them.

What does that mean?

Come on, guys. Let's do this.

I'm Curtis Pritchard, I'm 23 years old

I'm from Burleydam, Shropshire,

and I'm a ballroom and Latin dancer.

I have been single for about ten months now.

I have loved the dating life, but haven't found anybody yet.

I wanted to meet somebody that blows me away,

and I'm going on to Love Island to find genuine love.

I can't wait to get into the villa

and salsa into somebody's life and sweep them off their feet.

I'm Tommy Fury, I'm 20 years old.

I'm a professional boxer from Manchester.

I'm related to the one and only, best heavyweight in the world,

Tyson Fury. He's backing me all the way.

People do have a pre‐conception of me,

judging who I'm related to and what I do for a living...

..but behind all this muscle,

there is a sweet, soft bear, ready to be cuddled.

I would rate myself a strong eight on looks,

and personality has got to be a ten out of ten.

Hola, chicas!

Hi, guys, how is everyone?

What's going on?

THEY GREET THEM

Nobody was expecting that. Nobody at all.

Joe. Nice to meet you.

Hi, how are you?

'It's been such a full‐on day.'

Bevs coming in everywhere,

and then two guys come in.

Who are also bevs.

Are you nervous, lads?

Yes, I'm shitting it, I'm not gonna lie.

LAUGHTER

We're all shitting it, anyway.

What's your job, then?

I'm a ballroom and Latin dancer.

I thought so.

What do you do?

Professional boxer.

Tyson Fury's brother, man.

You're Tyson Fury's brother?

Yeah. Fucking hell!

Too good‐looking to be a boxer.

I don't know about that.

I'm chatting up more guys than girls!

So what's you guys' type?

I'm quite open, I go more on personality than type.

Who do you fancy in here?

Come on, mate.

I don't know anybody just yet.

That's a good one.

He's saying that and dodged it!

Someone could be amazing‐looking,

but have the worst personality and we don't get along.

That is what I'm like.

What about you, mate?

The same boat, you're all lovely girls.

No, no, no! Don't copy him! Don't try it.

PHONE ALERT I've got a text.

Oh, here we go.

No way.

"Islanders,

"in 24 hours...

"..Curtis and Tommy will each couple up

"with a girl of their choice."

Oh, my God. Are you serious?

Leaving two boys single and vulnerable.

Hashtag, the gloves are off.

Hashtag takes two to Tango.

Fucking hell. Gloves are off, baby.

Gloves are off.

Mad!

'I do feel, like, under pressure, I can't lie.'

It's horrible.

I'm really liking Lucie, and it's just...

I don't get a say any more, it's up to them.

Tommy is really fit. He's a boxer, really fit.

Curtis is fit, but also, he's really cute.

It's early days, but if they want to couple up with me, that's fine.

Cheers!

Cheers! To the first night.

Cheers to stealing our birds.

Next time...

I find you attractive.

The new boys make their moves.

You're fit.

Then they make their decisions.

So the girl I want to couple up with...

is...
