LOVE Island will start on Monday 3rd June, 2019, announced ITV on Twitter today.
Revealing that in less than a month a group of hot singletons will descend on Mallorca, they wrote: “Rumour has it love island starts on 3rd of June pass it on.”
Love Island host Caroline Flack revealed last week she had started filming for the ITV2 new series – and may have seen the entire new line-up.
She said: “What’s really exciting about this week is that we start filming for Love Island 2019.
“And by the end of the week I’m going to have potentially seen the cast for this year, which is really exciting and mad that it’s come around this quick.
“So I’ll let you know what happens, it’s going to be a long, hot summer and all that.”
According to reports the first confirmed name for the show is 23-year-old Sav Berry.
The social media influencer is rumoured to be taking part after pics were leaked of him in summer-wear from show alumnus Kem Cetinay’s Primark range as he posed in front of a pink screen.
In another shot, he’s dressed in smart-casual clothes in front of a flashy backdrop, reports the Daily Star.
A representative for Love Island told The Sun Online: “Any stories surrounding the line up are pure speculation and we will confirm this year’s line up in due course.”
It comes after we exclusively revealed show bosses were in advanced talks to sign Rochelle Humes’ lookalike sister for the new series.
Producers of the show are “desperate” for Soph Piper, 20, to join the line-up of singletons jetting off to Majorca this summer.

A source close to the programme has revealed the offer is on the table from Love Island – but Soph is still yet to make a final decision.
An insider said: “ITV2 bosses are really keen for Soph to be the star of this year’s series.
“Last year they had Dani and her claim to fame with dad Danny captured viewers and boasted the show’s ratings.
“This year they’re hoping to do the same with Rochelle and her youngest sister, who’s the spitting image of her.
“Soph is the perfect islander – she’s incredibly beautiful and loves meeting new people after already doing a season in Ibiza.
“She’s currently deciding with her family if it’s the right move for her but it’s looking like a strong possibility.”
We also revealed Big Brother bad boy Lotan Carter had also been earmarked by bosses for the show.
