Love Island had a bit of a delayed start this year due to everything happening with Coronavirus, but we seem to have arrived at Casa Amor week in no time at all, meaning we're almost half-way through the 2021 summer of love already.
All good things must come to an end eventually though. So here's a rundown on how long the show will air for and when we should see our series 7 winners being announced in the final episode.
How many weeks does Love Island go on for?
The first episode aired on Monday 28th June at 9pm and the show will air for eight weeks as the hopeful young singles find love - and win the cash prize of £50,000.
