Love Island is almost here and we couldn't be any more excited to hear "I got a text!" again.

The contestants have been isolating ahead of entering the Majorcan villa, and joining them in quarantine is the show's presenters - Laura Whitmore and Iain Stirling.

If you haven't heard the name, you've definitely heard the jokes. Here are a few things we know about the infamous Love Island narrator, Iain Stirling.

Iain is the only original cast member of Love Island

Over the past six series of Love Island, presenters have changed hands and hopeful singletons have been and gone, and even the Love Island villa has had a make-over or two. But one permanent fixture of the hit dating series is it's voice over, Iain, who's been there cracking the jokes as the Islanders cracked on with each other since season 1 in 2015.

Caroline Flack was the Love Island presenter until she stepped down in 2020, which is when Laura Whitmore took over as the host of the dating series.

"Love Island has taken me to some amazing places over the years. So delighted to finally see it return!" he said in the lead up to the 2021 series.

Iain Stirling has a law degree

Yes, really. It was during his final year of studying Law at the University of Edinburgh (his birth city) that he started stand-up comedy.

Are Laura and Iain together?

In 2020, Iain married TV presenter and host of Love Island Laura Whitmore and they had their first baby together.

The pair got together in 2017 after meeting at an ITV party, according to Heart.

The two are still together and are both out in Majorca preparing for the start of Love Island 2021.

Iain Stirling net worth

It's thought that the Scottish comedian is worth $4 million (£2.9 million), according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Iain's written a book

In 2018, Iain released his first book, Not F*cking Ready To Adult, and it's actually a bit more serious than it sounds.

The synopsis reads: "Looking back at his journey to adulthood, Iain explores why millennials are the way they are - and whether that makes us self-obsessed, work-shy, mollycoddled, egomaniacs; or just a misunderstood generation with a crippling fear of failure."

Love Island comes to ITV2 on Monday 28th June at 9pm.
