What to expect on Love Island UK this season
In an interview with The Daily Mail, producers Amanda Stavri and Lewis Evans confirmed that Casa Amor, Movie Night, Snog, Marry and Pie were among the returning favorites coming back for Season 13. However, they also teased a “never-before-seen” coupling format, which could debut as soon as Episode 1.
Beyond the format itself, the dozen Islanders will pair up and see whose relationships last. Others are bound to get voted off – either by their fellow Islanders or the audience watching from home in the UK. There are another 24 to 28 alternatives waiting in the wings that the producers could deploy at any point during the season. In the end, the last three couples standing will go head-to-head-to-head for a £50,000 prize, which is equivalent to about $67,210.
Here is a World Cup-inspired teaser that lays the groundwork for what’s ahead in Season 13:
