In a late scheduling change, M-Net (DStv 101) has added season 7 of Love Island UK that kicked off on Monday night on the channel with a new bunch of Islanders including a bricklayer, fashion blogger, water engineer, model and a physical exercise teacher, and will run for seven days a week across Africa with a new episode at 23:30.
Saturday episodes are branded "Unseen Bits" episodes and Laura Whitmore is the presenter. The season ended on Sunday in Britain.
Last night Aaron F, Brad, Chloe, Faye, Hugo, Jake, Kaz, Liberty, Shannon, Sharon and Toby entered the villa during the first episode and paired up for the first time: Faye with Brad, Kaz with Toby, Liberty with Jake, Shannon with Aaron F and Sharon with Hugo.
This 7th season of Love Island UK was originally scheduled to broadcast last year but was pushed out because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The latest season runs for 58 days with the show that returned to the Spanish villa with its gym, hot tub and big outdoor seating area that was last used in 2019 on the sunny Balearic Island of Majorca.
