How To Watch Love Island UK Season 12 Online And Stream Each New Episode Free From Anywhere

Watch Love Island UK Season 12: Preview

What’s that light on the horizon? It’s your latest batch of oiled-up guys and gals arriving in sun-drenched Mallorca, Turkey teeth flashing as they anticipate an unforgettable summer of friendship, romance, and flirty banter. And, as essential as a naughty night in the Hideaway, Maya Jama is returning to host this jaw-dropping smoke show as it celebrates its 10th anniversary. Prepare for more muggy behavior as we explain below how to watch Love Island UK Season 12 online on ITVX and 100% free from anywhere.

Fans can expect an especially epic few months ahead. The villa residents of Love Island USA Season 7 have already started cracking on, with episodes now streaming on Peacock, so expect a whole lotta Love Island action over the next two months. Meanwhile, the show's UK promo reassures viewers that, rather than reinventing the wheel, we can expect lots more of what keeps us hooked: bigger twists, more bombshells, emotional break-ups, and sloppy make-up snogs. All best enjoyed, of course, with a refreshing side of Iain Sterling’s snarky commentary.

Even ahead of the series premiere, the Love Island surprises have already begun. Our 12 islanders became only 11 when Kyle Ashman was pulled from the show, an ITV spokesperson citing “personal reasons." But for the rest of them it's time to slap on the Factor 50 and get grafting if they want to win the £50,000 prize money. Because, as we know too well, those left single or who give their fellow contestants the ick are in danger of being dumped from the island.

So, who are some of this season's amorous islanders? Among them is Shakira (Shakira!). Not the singer, but a market specialist from Burnley. There’s 22-year-old Tommy Bradley, who spends as much time grooming himself as he does running his landscaping business, and former firebreather Sophie Lee. Semi-pro footballer Harry, a body double for Arsenal’s Declan Rice, is hoping to settle down with “the girl next door," while Alima Gagio is looking to find her own Disney prince.

Yes, it’s giving steamy dating drama! And you can catch every moment as we explain below. Read on for how to watch Love Island UK Season 12 and stream each episode for free and from anywhere in the world.
