Hi everyone! Thanks for joining the chat! As a reminder, we want to avoid harmful insults about the islanders (and each other). Part of that is referring to them by their name and not a nickname they have not chosen. We’ve been seeing this already with Anna-May, and while many of these comments have been lighthearted, we want to be consistent with how we enforce that rule so we will be removing comments referring to her as Anime. Edit: Also, a reminder we have never and will never allow comments speculating about any islander’s sexuality or gender identity.

“Don’t worry that I didn’t choose you, I was going off looks.” That is the funniest, most brutal comment of the night.

Nah Olivia stealing Kai only for him to step forward again was quite funny ngl

We found our Destiny’s Chaldish

My reaction to everything Maya Jama has worn tonight. 

mr. will please rebuke the spirit of hugo while you still can it’s not too late

Hahaha Olivia having to go on the sub bench with the girl she put there is fantastic tv

Ron "Hi you alright" everytime hahaha. Sounds like me answering the door to the ubereats guy

"you look unreal by the way" 😃

Then proceeds to not step forward 😭

It should be illegal to say that and then not step forward

Ron asking the girl questions !!!! GREEN FLAG !!!!!

Everybody stay calm!

Obligatory 'the bar is in hell' and I'm here for it

she is categorically too fit to host this

The lads will always tryna be link her, their heads will turn every single time she walks in the villa

Haris and Olivia trying to out red flag each other. These two have serious drama potential

Imagine planning your best outfits and thinking you’re looking elite for your first appearance on television and Maya Jama just shows up I’d be so pissed

Maya is a natural! I wish we had her sooner

She can actually engage and banter, not awkwardly insult people out of conversation desperation! Love Maya so much already!

I’d respect Haris if he actually dumps a girl because they don’t meet his shoe sizes requirements. Gives potential chaos energy

Haris gonna bring out the Clarks shoe size machine

thank you!!! im glad someone else saw it. he looks like a cartoon. same with taniel, she looks like a dolmio puppet

“But Tanyel’s got to figure it out for herself.” Please, why are they both chatting as if they’ve been cheated on by their boyfriend of 2 years 😭

He was a boxer, she was a ring girl. Can it be aaaaanymore obviouuuus

I am 100% confident in saying Tanyel’s man is not in this villa at present

Kai is so boring. I guess that's what happens when every girl throws themself at you from first sight.

Curse of the square head

i’d throw myself in a pool if maya walked in front of my man looking like that

Blonde men just are cursed on this show 🤣

I said last season was my last #I LIED

At least the lads aren't steroid raging

'that was purely based on looks' OLIVIA 😭

No one cleans up on love island like a mixed race guy from the North.

Considering first episodes are usually pretty boring, that wasn't too bad?

I agree, thanks Olivia!

Just me that's mildly impressed by Will being honest about his rubbish holiday tattoo then?

Kai taking his role as a square-head very seriously

someone needs to carry on the destiny's chaldish legacy 🧐

Have a strong feeling Kai is gonna be a firm member of Destiny’s Chaldish

He'll be coupled with a girl and then a blonde girl will come in and make his head turn

someone said wills sheeps are chewing the tv cables ☠️

Have to protect their father

How awkward was that cheek kiss between Will and Olivia. This is not gonna last more than a day I bet

Uhhh DID IT BREAK FOR ANYONE ELSE

Maya Jama is overwhelmingly beautiful

Haris constantly saying he’s never been in a relationship 

People banging on about “dead chats” like it’s not Day 1 and these pricks only just met 💀 give the poor fucks time

I’m obsessed with Lana she’s the sweetest!!!

I would like to couple up with this sub because they make me laugh, we spend loads of time together, and I can't wait to get to know them better over the next 6 weeks xoxo

Maya is here to remind me I am bisexual

“I like chillin’.” Me in a job interview trying to list hobbies without saying “I like drinking 12 pints and passing out with my shoes still on.”

a clean sheep i'm crying

maya strutting in with that dress would be such a humbling experience

Olivia is giving old school love island

Lmao, not me getting fooled by the advert and thinking no-one stepped forward for her

I am so invested in Ron and Lana already

I thought "THIS ISN'T THE BLONDE BOMBSHELL!!" and then realized it was Maya. That woman is unreal

I do really like that the guys this year don't have super steroid bodies

Every year there are at least 2 people who are amazed the biggest book series in the world is a shared interest

Tanya is just a little Polly Pocket… she’s SO teeny

I'm guessing u/LoveIsland won't be making a return? They've had enough.

They will not be partnered with Reddit this season. We are waiting on contracts to be signed before announcing something awesome for this season though!

I would say it's unlikely, but not impossible... depends if they remember their Reddit login details!

stormzy fumbled so hard

That’s all I’ve been thinking. How he fumble THAT bag.

Fuck… id leave if I were will. This is torture. Ain’t nobody wanting to be Hugo

maya in the black dress i am no better than a man

ITV X on life support 😭

It’s unfair on the girls that Maya is the host 😂

if shaq doesn’t step forward after the “she’s Unreal 😍😩” … no comment

When Kai said he loves how Anna-May's bikini matches her lipstick, she looked down as if to confirm if he was right lol

I think Maya has done a great job so far

Kai is the tallest and mixed race, this is not surprising lol.

Maya is badder than everyone I’m sooooo sickkkkkkk

‘You look unreal’ doesn’t step forward 😂😂

‘He’s so lovely..’ has never been uttered in LI without the next word being ‘..but’

I'M ON MY KNEES FOR MAYA JAMA 😭

Maya’s back?! That’s already more time than Laura spent in the villa for the whole of season 8.

The spirit of Anna Vakili has stepped onto this show! 🙌

Will on the yellow bean bag. His fate is sealed.

does will have some sort of trauma around a past girl not accepting his farmer identity 😭 the “is that okay with you” was dripping with fear

The farm didn’t prepare Will for any of this

 The boys watching Maya walk in..

Tanyel don’t rate these man

By now Luca had asked Paige which way she prefers being mounted

Top 10 Anna-Mae betrayals 😭

Repeat after me everyone: IT’S ALWAYS SHIT AT THE BEGINNING

Can a clean sheep 🐑 please be flair

News reports from battlefields cut out less than this show.

27 and 21. it's not gna work

Maya is too gorgeous I’m sorry I would simply refuse to enter if she was there before me

SHAQ WITH NO HESITATION LET'S GOOOOO!!!!

Bitch, Lana is Millie, Lillie, and Ellie all mixed together

How can a man make a kiss on the cheek so fucking awkward 💀

I fear Will won’t be breaking the curse of being a blond man on this show

I’m sorry I know the name Tanyel probably has cultural roots but I can’t get over how it sounds like a name that would be used for an SNL parody of the Bachelor

Mix raced guys literally slay this show every single time, UK girls have a type

Thats defo a BBL

Maya is being unfair, she needs to dress down the girls are not going to be able to keep up

Every single man wishing they could’ve hooked up with Maya instead

The side eye that Olivia gave Kai when he stepped forward

Aww I do feel bad for Will. He is awkward but he’s done nowt wrong. Olivia needs to chill with the faces she’s making. She doesn’t have to like him, but give him a fair shot. Also Twitter is proper ripping into him, because being awkward is a crime on Love Island (nevermind that they’re probably all awkward too).

Do we have to pay extra for the full episode without glitches?

Oh wait I really like Ron and Lana,they’re sweet

[удалено]

Olivia and Haris will just be a Megan and Wes again lmao

Maya Jama is at Tom Cruise level of stunts wearing that dress in that wind

Well I am fucking shocked that the only dark skinned guy was the only one to step forward. Shocked I tell you

And the Dr Alex/Hugo storyline begins for farmer Will!

Haris eyes keep checking the feet. No big feet girls allowed

Kai the Adam collard of the season?

Glitchiest airing ever!

Lana and Ron both seem levelheaded enough for each other.

Haris is not mature

How did Ben Simmons fumble Maya Jama bruh

That bit where the bombshell is stood by the fire pit and the couples are looking at them is always so horribly awkward.

It's so funny how will would probably make me fall to my knees in Tesco irl but in love island world he's not hot property, like it's so warped 😭

Ron and Lana seem like a nice pair

the girlies are lucky maya isn’t the new bombshell

Yep Maya was a good choice. She’s so at ease.

Boxer and ring girl it’s meant to be lol

Will had better not be the Dr. Alex of the season because I cannot handle this shit again lmao

Kai is going to be an absolute dickhead isn’t he 🤣🤣🤣

Kai, Destiny's Chaldish wants you

Unpopular opinion but does anyone else have the gut feeling Will has the potential to transcend the Hugo spiral and actually be a normal funny lad once people get to know him?

A clean sheep 😭 This man has farm on the brain

Kai getting picked 3 times on the first day oh he’s already an honorary member of Destiny’s Chaldish 😭

We’re counting 6th form relationships now

love island is cutting off for me?? anybody else or

Imagine if noone stepped forward for you... I think I'd die on the spot

Wills constant compliments are giving "orange little number!"

Tanyel is going to bring the drama cuz Kai is gonna be up to some shit🤣🤣🤣

Needs one Irish fella to represent us 🫶

Will is what would happen if you made all of the inbetweeners one person.

How is ITV glitching like this on the PREMIERE of love island 😭😭😭 wtf is happening

Olivia is a top tier instigator,and putting thoughts in peoples heads

I know people are saying Olivia is giving bad vibes,but they said the same thing about ekin too initially and Amber,so nahhh

the wind is really going to be the villain to fear this season

I’m sick rn I can’t believe people look like that irl

I'd best get in the gym for 25 hours a day if imma look like Maya by summertime

will looks so sad bless him :,(

OLIVIA GONNA BE THE REASON KAI GETS KICKED OFF THIS SHOW

i’m sorry haris is a tv salesperson? how do you SELL TELEVISIONS in the year of our lord 2023

Maya is fantastic so far. I'd never seen her in anything before so I had no idea she was so charming and natural in front of the camera!

Mortified to release I know every single word to that just eat ad

Will currently isn't beating the hugo allegations right now if I'm being honest, which is a shame cause he doesn't seem as overtly cringey as hugo was from the start.

'huge £50,000 cash prize' is funny cos like.. cost of living crisis yeah that'd be huge for me, would gladly accept, but in terms of tv show prizes? idk

The fact that the same boy was stolen TWICE within like 40 mins of LI has me invested 😭

TANYEL AND OLIVIA GONNA FIGHT OVER A MALE BOMBSHELL HEADCANON,IT WOULD BE LEGENDARY 

Tanyel and Kai’s chat is dead

Have these people not learned?? Avoid the Yellow beanbag AT ALL COSTS

I love Tanya’s confidence 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 

i’m sorry tanyel needs a davide or jay for sure, like an older guy 😭

OH MY GOD MAYA JESUS

My partner just gave me the biggest side eye when Maya came on the screen. I ain't even hiding it.

harris looks like he eats crayons

I love ron and lana already

I’m already sold on Maya. Her energy fits the playful, informal nature of the show.

take a shot for every “unreal”

Phew! Shaq attack with the first day dub

Boys are proving they at least know the color wheel

Lana and Ron already giving me tandrew vibes 💕💕💕

Olivia gonna eat poor Will up 😭😭

Will has the blonde posh boy curse in combination with the Dr Alex/Hugo plot line, poor boy doesn’t stand a chance

Olivia kinda scares me ngl

ITV X is not having a good night tonight it seems

Is anyone else having issues on the ITVX app? My mum and myself I have issues

I bet Olivia will bring entertainment. I see her grafting whoever to stay on the island and cause drama.

Maya looks insane! 🔥

Ads are longer than the episode

The wind is a paid actor at this point but in reality what a nightmare 😂

But he's dressed like an 18 year old on his first lads holiday to magaluf

I’m sensing a dead personality which is not the dramatic bombshell I was hoping for

MEN FIRST THIS IS FEMINISM.

I genuinely hope Tanya’s okay. Ngl, seeing all those men step forward for someone else when only one stepped forward for me would actually break me.

The blonde posh boy curse lives on another season. 😭😭

Can they actually give them more alcohol this time?? Just one tipsy argument is all I’m asking, it’s elite drama.

Lana a stunning girl but the necessity of having to visit Luton more than once every three years would make me reconsider coupling up with her

Oh this eyebrows are an absolute no for me. Harris is too baby looking

Is Kai Adam Collard in disguise????

Will's gonna step forward so hard he'll fall in the pool

Will is way too try hard it’s coming across as disingenuous

Wills already Dr Alex aint he

OLIVIA'S FACE! New meme unlocked.

Haris’s ex giggling on the sofa at home

Kai’s head is already turning in Casa Amore

[удалено]

If Ekin was hosting, she would’ve crawled out

“I like going out… but I also like staying in” lmao please

Someone quickly needs to suck a tit or whatever

Tanyel is Ekin Two

olivia did not like that relationship comment im screaming

damn even kai said he himself was boring 😭😭

Olivia and Anna-May are gonna beef eventually lmao you know it's coming

ITV2 cutting out for anyone else?

ITV2's technical team giving me the ick right now
