Love Island is back with a new batch of "sexy" singles heading into the villa hoping to find "the one".

Love Island returns for its 11th series on Monday (June 3) with Maya Jama back as host of the ITV reality dating show and Iain Stirling once again taking on the role of narrator.

The new summer series comes off the back of the first ever Love Island: All Stars which concluded back in February with Molly Smith and Tom Clare declared the winners.

The couple were voted the winners in the final ahead of Callum Jones and Jess Gale (second); Sophie Piper and Josh Ritchie (third); and Georgia Steel and Toby Aromolaran (fourth).

ITV has already confirmed there will be a second series Love Island: All Stars which will air in 2025.

While the All Stars series was filmed in South Africa, the new summer series of Love Island will once again return to the "insta-worthy" villa in Mallorca.

Creative Director at Lifted Entertainment (Love Island producers), Mike Spencer, said: “Love Island is back and viewers are in for a big treat this summer as we have a villa full of sexy singles heading out to Mallorca all looking for the one.

"We are planning to turn up the heat this series with brand new format elements, an incredible group of Islanders and an insta worthy villa providing the most stunning backdrop for their summer of love.

"Strap yourselves in for Love Island series 11."
