The eighth series of Love Island was broadcast from 6 June 2022 to 1 August 2022 on ITV2[1][2] with Laura Whitmore presenting the series and Iain Stirling narrating.[3][4]

The series featured cameo appearances from singer Becky Hill, who appeared during a party in the villa performing songs including "Crazy What Love Can Do", as well as DJ Joel Corry, who performed during a VIP party. Alfie Boe also made an appearance to perform during a date. On 1 August 2022, the series was won by Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti with 63.7% of the final vote. Gemma Owen and Luca Bish finished as runners-up.[5][6]

The 'split or steal' element was cut from the eighth series finale for the first time in the show's history. With 'split or steal,' the winners are presented with two sealed envelopes, one that's empty and one that contains a £50k prize. In previous seasons, the person who received the money was asked if they wanted to 'steal' it or 'split' it with their partner. In series eight, the winning couple automatically shared the prize money. ITV2 did not officially comment as to why they did away with the 'split or steal' element.[7][8]

Production

[edit]

During the final of the previous series on 23 August 2021, it was announced that the show would return for an eighth series the following year.[9][10][11] The series this time was filmed in a new villa in Mallorca, making it the first time since the third series the show has moved to a new location, excluding the winter series that was filmed in South Africa.[12][13][14] The first teaser trailer aired on 6 May 2022, a month before the show's launch with several more trailers being released in the following weeks, featuring cartoon animations and tag lines from the show.[15] It was also announced that the contestants would wear second-hand clothes for the first time, following the show's partnership with eBay, with bosses trying to aim for a "more eco-friendly production."[16][17][18]

[edit]

The main villa was Sa Vinyassa in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, Casa Amor was the nearby Alchemy Villa, and the Vibe Club was the Shiva Beach Club in Llucmajor.[19][20][21]

Islanders

[edit]

The original Islanders for the eighth series were announced on 30 May 2022, one week before the series launch.[22][23][24] For the first time in the show's history, the series featured a returning contestant, with Adam Collard having previously appeared in the fourth series.[25]

For the first time, Love Island included a deaf islander. Tasha Ghouri is a dancer and model, who wears a cochlear implant.[26]
