Who is hosting Winter Love Island 2023?
After taking over as Love Island presenter in 2020, Laura Whitmore stepped down from her villa duties at the end of season 8 last summer.
While her husband, Iain Stirling, will still lend his dulcet tones for some cracking voiceovers, it was revealed that TV and radio presenter Maya Jama will be taking the reins and grabbing love by the horns as we enter into Love Island UK's second ever winter edition.
Following the announcement, Maya Jama said: "I've always been such a massive Love Island fan and I'm so excited to be hosting one of the nation’s favourite shows! I can't wait to get into the villa to meet all of the Islanders."
Where is Winter Love Island 2023 being filmed?
You wouldn't be foolish for thinking the winter edition of Love Island UK might swap bikinis and flip flops for ski jackets and snow boots.
In actual fact, though, the winter series will once again take place in Cape Town in South Africa, where average January temperatures average 84 °F / 29 °C.
According to Executive Producer Mike Spencer, the winter helping of Love Island will take place in a "stunning new villa".
Who is the Love Island 2023 sponsor?
Where is the place to buy all those on-screen fashions?
Continuing on in its endeavours to push a more sustainable message after endorsing a slew of fast fashion brands in the past, Love Island's winter edition will stick with eBay as its official sponsor for another season.
Where can I get the latest Love Island news?
Our first port-of-call for Love Island news is the official Love Island Twitter page.
For a true deep-dive into islander life, you should also tune into Love Island: Aftersun every Sunday at 10pm GMT straight after the latest action from the villa.
What time can I watch the Love Island first look?
Made available every Monday to Friday and Sunday afternoon, the Love Island first look is shared on Love Island Twitter and Instagram page. This usually drops around 2-3pm GMT and gives an exclusive look and the drama going on in the villa in that night's episode.
What safe-guarding has been put in place for Love Island?
Both the mental well-being of contestants, as well as how the show tackles inclusivity have come under fire for the last few years. This follows the loss of former contestants Sophie Gradon in 2018, Mike Thalassitis in 2019, and former host Caroline Flack in 2020, all three to suicide.
The first duty of care protocols were shared in 2019 ahead of season 5 with 2022 seeing Love Island producers release a full set of protocols, including the new addition of inclusion training to tackle “inclusive language around disability, sexuality, race and ethnicity, behaviours and microaggressions".
In its continued efforts to better safeguard contestants, ITV has announced a key new rule change. Contestants will be asked to pause their social media accounts ahead of entering the villa. This follows previous seasons where friends and family would take the reins on their accounts.
Following last summer's series where Ofcom were inundated with complaints of controlling and misogynistic behavior particularly from the men in the villa, this year ITV announced "Islanders will also receive guidance and training around mutually respectful behaviour in relationships [...] to help them identify negative behaviours in relationships and understand the behaviour patterns associated with controlling and coercive behaviour."
The cast will also view a video including interviews with former islanders talking about their experiences following villa life in an endeavour to better prepare for the transition.
Outlined on ITV's website, protocols are broken down to pre-filming, during the series, and aftercare and include:
