LOVE Island viewers all had the same complaint as the show returned tonight
The hit ITV2 reality show was back on our screens for the SECOND time this year – and left fans all saying the same thing.
Love Island returned tonight for a second time this year
Some fans think that having two series of Love island is ‘overkill’
The winter version Love Island kicked off in January, and only ended a few months ago in mid-March.
But as the summer series kicked off tonight, viewers took to Twitter to vent that they felt it was “too soon”, with some even saying it was “overkill”
One fan tweeted: “Love island is TODAY? God it’s actually too much now.”
While this one said: “Literally just finished getting over winter #LoveIsland I’m not prepared for tonight! Big 
fan but twice in a calendar year might be a bit too much.”
Another commented: “Love Island need to cancel winter one asap this season had no hype.”
While another said: “I really think they should do this show once a year. Twice is overkill.”
This is the first time ever that Love Island has aired two series of the show in one year.
There was meant to be a second season of the reality series in the summer of 2020, after the winter version made its debut.
However, the pandemic hit, and Love Island didn’t return until the following year.
Meanwhile, Love Island kicked off this evening by introducing a twist in the opening episode.
In a new shake-up, female and male Islanders entered the villa together.
It meant sparks could fly from the off between couples – as the original line-up format was ditched.
It meant viewers didn’t get to watch the girls line-up and step forward for boys they fancy.
A source told MailOnline: “The girls have always entered the villa before the boys but for the first time, two females will enter followed by the first male Islander and already, sparks begin to fly.
“The viewers have already chosen who is coupling up with who, so the Islanders getting to know each other before being put in their pairs only means that the drama will ensue quicker than usual.”
Tonight host Maya Jama kicked off the series in an eye-popping, cut-out white dress from Cult Gaia as she made her entrance into the villa.
Her wardrobe is now so integral to the Love Island brand, Maya’s team run real-life tests to ensure her dresses will work on camera.
The strong winds in South Africa caused problems on January’s winter series launch, tugging at the thigh-high split of Maya’s black gown.
- Love Island airs at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
