Winter Love Island 2023 is underway, giving us a dose of sun, sand, and some seriously sexy singletons each night.

Maya Jama made her hosting debut, and the series has been providing all the couplings, grafting, and vibes we’ve come to expect from the ITV2 hit dating show – plus plenty of dramatic exits and re-couplings.

The aftermath of Casa Amor is continuing, with more drama surrounding Tanya Manhenga and Shaq Muhammad – not to mention farmer Will Young and Jessie Wynter (sob) – especially after the ever-popular Movie Night episodes.

Expect plenty more heat and heartache until the series ends!

So, when can viewers keep up with the latest goings-on? Let’s find out.

What time does Love Island start?

Love Island will return to our screens from 9pm tonight (Monday, February 27).

What happened in Love Island last night?

Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins became an official couple in last night’s episode.

The slightly uneventful Sunday edition of the show (compared to the chaos of Movie Night, anyway) saw Lana beam: ‘I came in here to find someone, I was genuinely out there looking for love and that’s what I found.’

Ron was similarly pleased by the pair’s new boyfriend-girlfriend status, telling the audience Lana was ‘first person I can call my missus’.

Elsewhere the brewing tension between Casey O’Gorman, Claudia Fogarty and Rosie Seabrook continued to bubble.

Claudia was emotional on Friday’s episode as bombshell Keanan Brand chose to couple up with her.

This left previous partner Casey free to be selected by bombshell Rosie.

And on Sunday’s episode, fans saw Claudia storm off from the bedroom after spotting Casey and Rosie chatting in bed.

It appeared the pair were discussing Rosie sleeping with two pillows rather than one.

An upset Claudia went to sleep on the daybeds in the villa, and returned the following morning.

Things didn’t end there, though, as Claudia then heard from Samie Elishi that Rosie had expressed she thought Casey and Claudia had a lack of chemistry between them.

The girls sat down for a classic Love Island chat – and though Rosie stuck to her opinion, ultimately both agreed they needed to do what was best for themselves in the villa.

We’ll have to wait and see how things unfold on Monday night’s episode…

Who are the current Love Island 2023 couples?

As it stands, the couples in the villa are:

Will Young and Jessie Wynter
Shaq Muhammad and Tanya Manhenga
Tom Clare and Samie Elishi
Maxwell Samuda and Olivia Hawkins
Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins
Casey O’Gorman and Rosie Seabrook
Keanan Brand and Claudia Fogarty
