How to watch Love Island 2022 online and stream season 8 online from anywhere

Love Island, TV's most addictive dating show is back for its eighth season, with hosts Laura Whitmore and Iain Stirling bringing together a whole new preening posse of bronzed and sculpted scamps. The teeth may be fake but the awkwardness is real, and you can read on as we explain how to watch Love Island 2022 online from anywhere.

Brace yourself for a crash course in the latest dating parlance from the top minds in the field, but only if you can concentrate on what the mouths connected to all of those sculpted abs and arms are saying. Oh, and remind me to join the gym.

This year's contestants include Indiyah, who describes herself as a player and says she’s on Love Island because she finds social media a bit much. Spare a thought for Ikenna, who's been on a lifelong search for somebody, anybody as good-looking as he is.

Roman lothario Davide thinks he's Jupiter himself, and Tasha enters the villa as Love Island's first ever deaf contestant (and a dead ringer for Laura Whitmore).
