LOVE Island fans have taken to social media to celebrate the return of the much-loved dating show – and its brand-new twist.
Viewers are LOVING the new option for fans at home to vote with which boy couples up with which girl for the first time ever.
Tonight, with the ITV2 dating show returning for the first time since last summer, the British public are able to play Cupid.

“Another year of the show everyone acts like they don’t watch but they definitely do,” a fifth person joked.
