It's the news fans have all been waiting for - and now ITV has finally confirmed the Love Island season 7 start date.

In a statement on Thursday morning, ITV's director of television Kevin Lygo said: "There's so much to look forward to on ITV this spring and into summer, with the Euros and the return of Love Island, but much more besides."

The series is already in production, ITV added, but applications are still open to join the Love Island cast.

The hit dating show, which originally saw celebrities couple up in the early 2000's, was revived in 2015 - and has since become a reality TV goliath.

The 2019 summer version, which saw Amber Gill voted the winner alongside partner Greg O'Shea, was the most-watched yet, drawing in an average of 5.61 million viewers every night.

The last series - and first winter edition - took place in January 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic halted production.
