Yahoo Finance ‘Love Island’ is back and so are the signature water bottles: Here’s how to shop this year’s merch
Summer is here and with it comes the return of none other than Love Island. Following its hiatus last year, ITV answered our prayers and announced that its beloved reality TV series would be back on our screens from Monday 28 June. Proving that 2021 might well be the year of the summer of love.
While there’s currently no confirmation on where the villa is, it will most likely be back in its OG location of Mallorca with Laura Whitmore returning as this year’s presenter.
As for this year’s romantic hopefuls, ITV announced the islanders on social media, with an important post the day prior encouraging fans to be compassionate towards the contestants, in line with its new welfare measures, writing: “We’re so grateful they’re letting us follow their journey this summer. We hope you enjoy the show, but please think before you post.”
If all this news has got you excited, we’ve got an even better announcement for you, the signature Love Island water bottles are back, but with a brand new look – and we think it’s going to be 100 per cent your type on paper. They’re now available in a slimmer design, have a matte white finish and are insulated, so your water will stay chilled for longer.
But that’s not the only merch on offer, so if you want to inject some Love Island glamour into your life, we’ve found all the best tote bags, washbags and more ahead of this year’s show – chances are you’ll have your head turned.
