'Love Island' Will Start At 10pm Tonight After Being Delayed By One Hour

'Love Island' Will Start At 10pm Tonight After Being Delayed By One Hour

We can't promise we'll still be awake...

Tonight's episode of Love Island has been delayed by an entire *hour* due to this year's BRIT Awards - and we are seriously going to struggle to stay up until 11pm.

While the BRITs will air on ITV tonight at 8pm - lasting for two hours - Love Island will begin at 10pm on ITV2.

While the two shows could have aired simultaneously on ITV and ITV2, it's reported the scheduling is to stop viewers having to choose. We have to admit, we would have found it *very* difficult to decide which to watch.

While we're obviously hooked to Love Island, Jack Whitehall will return to host the 2020 BRITs for the award show's 40th year.

Live performers at tonight's show - which will be held at London's O2 Arena - include Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Lizzo and Lewis Capaldi - who is expected to triumph at tonight's awards with *four* nominations.

The likes of Mabel, Freya Ridings and Charli XCX are up for Best British Female while Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Camila Cabello, Lana Del Rey and Lizzo are up for Best International Female.

Meanwhile, Stormzy, Harry Styles and Lewis Capaldi have been nominated for Best Album *and* Best British Male while stars including Mabel, AJ Tracey and Tom Walker will compete for Best Song.

Instead of Love Island, the film, Coyote Ugly will run on ITV2 from 8pm until 10pm - and tbh, we'll be tempted to tune into that, too.

But tonight's episode certainly seems worth staying up for, with five couples all 'vulnerable' of being dumped from the villa, after islanders voted for the least compatible couples at the end of last night's instalment.

Favourites Finn Tapp and Paige Turley as well as Siannise Fudge and Luke Trotman were the only couples who didn't receive a vote, meaning they are safe.

Meanwhile, Jamie McCann and Natalia Zoppa, Callum Jones and Molly Smith, Mike Boateng and Priscilla Anyabu, Luke Mabbott and Demi Jones, and Jess Gale and Ched Uzor are all at risk of being sent home.

It comes after Love Island narrator Iain Stirling shared a tribute to his former colleague Caroline Flack last night following the news that she had tragically taken her life.

The comedian honoured Caroline during the opening credits of yesterday's show, as he spoke on top of footage of the waves crashing over the sea.

He said: "We are absolutely devastated by the tragic news that Caroline, a much-loved member of our Love Island family, has passed away. Caroline and me were together from the very start of Love Island and her passion, warmth and infectious enthusiasm were a crucial part of what made the show connect with millions of viewers.

"Like many of you, right now we're all just trying to come to terms with what's happened. My only hope is that we can all try to be kinder, always show love and listen to one another.

"Caroline, I want to thank you for all the fun times we had making our favourite show. You were a true friend to me. I'm going to miss you, Caz."

The tribute ended with a picture of Caroline, which was also repeated at the end of the episode.
