Laura Whitmore introduces some new boys to Love Island's ladies
Indy
Everyone's favourite summer reality show isn't even back yet but the hype around it certainly is.
Love Island, that glorious pantomime of chaos, airs next week and we can't wait to watch single people parade around a villa in Mallorca, sun cream and terrible chat in tow.
The internet clearly can't wait either as people have already been sharing memes online, sharing their thoughts about the contestants that have been announced, and offering a steady crescendo of anticipation leading up to the (objectively and verifiable) best eight weeks of the year.
