Unique Voting System
One unique aspect of this season is that the original couples were chosen by public votes. Before the show’s launch, fans had the chance to decide who should be paired up, adding an extra layer of excitement to the premiere.
However, the drama didn’t stop there. After the initial couplings were revealed, a major bombshell entered the villa: Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, the winner of Love Island UK Season 8. Ekin-Su was given 24 hours to choose which boy she wanted to steal, setting the stage for plenty of tension and surprises right from the start.
Stunning Location
Filmed in a stunning villa in Franschhoek, South Africa, the setting provides the perfect backdrop for both romance and rivalry. This season holds special significance as it celebrates the ten-year anniversary of Love Island on ITV2. It brings together contestants from across the show’s history for a nostalgic and thrilling experience.
