Here's what former Love Island contestants thought of the new series launch
Find out what last year’s islanders reckoned to the new girls and guys entering the villa
It must have been surreal for 2017’s Love Island contestants to watch the launch of this year's series on Monday night – and they’ve certainly been very vocal about the new bunch on Twitter.
Not only has Marcel Somerville reprised his role as the Love Doctor, but the former Islanders already have a few favourite couples and some are joking about re-entering the villa.
One of the stand-out moments of the launch – and the hardest to watch – was A&E doctor Alex George’s double rejection in the very first coupling, and his relegation to the "subs bench". But it wasn't all bad, as Dr Marcel was on hand to support his fellow medic…
Meanwhile Gabby Allen, who recently split from Marcel, was joking that she needs to go back into the villa for a second shot at finding love…
The favourite couples so far seem to be Jack and Dani...

Amber Davies, like everyone else, has her eyes on the beast that is Adam Collard.
