Love Island USA: Sarah Hyland named as new host ahead of new season: ‘We’re pushing boundaries this time around’-Rishma Dosani-Entertainment – Metro

Sarah Hyland has been announced as the new host of Love Island USA, and confirmed the news in the most iconic way.

The Modern Family actress has replaced Arielle Vandenberg for the upcoming season, after the show made the move from CBS to Peacock. 

Taking to Instagram, the 31-year-old made her announcement by posing in her bikini, while soaking in the sun on the back of a yacht, with a glass of wine in hand – making us all supremely jealous.

She captioned the upload: ‘I got a text!!!! And it’s a juicy one! 

‘I can’t wait to be your new host of @loveislandusa #hostesswiththemostess #loveisabeach @peacocktv.’

Well, she’s definitely got those hashtags down.

Sarah’s fiancé, Wells Adams, was among the first to celebrate the move in the comments below.

The Bachelorette star proudly replied: ‘We out here really cornering the reality TV beach dating sector.’

Love Island will be premiering on July 19 on Peacock, and will air for six nights a week – following a similar pattern to the wildly popular UK series, which is currently showing on ITV2.

Ahead of the launch, the Geek Charming actress revealed her excitement at helping a group of singletons find love in the sun.

‘Love Island is such an iconic show and I love the dating reality space,’ Sarah told E! News. ‘I’m just so thrilled and honored to be a part of this…They always have the hottest people on their show.

‘I really love that the girls, for the most part, stick together and really bond and stand up for one another.

‘As a woman, I love it when I get to see that on television. But I definitely know that we’re going to have a lot of unexpected surprises and unpredictable twists that we’ve never seen. We’re pushing the boundaries this time around.’

For the first time, Love Island will also be narrated by Iain Stirling, who voices the UK series.

Jenny Groom, EVP of Entertainment Unscripted Content at NBCUniversal, confirmed that they had snapped the comedian up earlier this year.

‘The moment the decision was made to bring an all-new version of Love Island to Peacock, we knew we had to get Iain on board,’ she said.

‘Iain embodies everything fans love about the show — humor, irreverence and cheeky fun. Love Island would not be the same without him.’

Love Island kicks off on July 19 on Peacock.
