Is Luca the favourite to win?
After the first episode last night, bets are being made about who will be the winner this year.

Love Island has adapted, but did it need to?
The new season aired last night on ITV.
The long-running reality show stole the hearts of many across the nation when it first aired eight years ago.
But over the years, it’s received a wave of complaints for a range of reasons including racism, poor management of care and emotional manipulation.
This year the public chose the initial coupling and the clothes seen on the show are all second-hand.
Did the producers shake things up for fun, or out of necessity.

Islanders seem intimidated by Davide
This year’s contestants were coupled up, but then Davide made a shock entrance.
While the girls fought calmly over who would get Davide, the guys mentioned one too many times how beautiful they thought Davide was, but how they aren’t threatened.
Meanwhile Davide seemed to struggle with humility as he felt sure he would get one of the girls.

Twist and shout
Love Island revealed a huge change to the show this year – with viewers given the power to choose who couples with who.

Dami and Amber, Indiyah and Ikenna, Tasha and Andew, Gemma and Liam and Luca and Paige were hand-picked by the public to couple up.

Gemma insulted Luca, but he can’t help it
It’s becoming apparent to many fans that Gemma is rude and not the most likeable cast member of this year’s Love Island.
The 19-year-old stood with Tasha and some of the boys as they spoke about names.
After admitting her surname is Owen, but still without telling everyone who her famous father is, she looked unimpressed at Luca when he explained his surname.
He said his mum is Italian so that’s where Luca comes from, but his Dad is English, hence Bish.
She looked unimpressed and said it’s “unfortunate” before saying she’s “not feeling it.”

Very steamy in the villa as the islanders get raunchy
The contestants decided to play dares and things got heated fast
Davide Sanclimenti was challenged strip tease and didn’t hold back. The 27-year-old got into it straight away and removed his shir.
It didn’t take long for the girls to start swooning.
Meanwhile, Ikenna Ekwonna was tasked with kissing the finger of the girl he fancied most in the villa, and to everyone’s delight, he headed straight over to his current partner Indiyah Polack.
But, he got the rest of the cast shocked when he began seductively sucking Indiyah’s finger in front of them.
