Love Island USA is now hosted by Vanderpumps Rules star Ariana Madix.

The series was previously helmed by Modern Family star Sarah Hyland, but due to a scheduling conflict she was unable to return for season 6.

"Well, just got a text. I'm disappointed the news had to break this way but it is in fact true that I will not be returning to the island this summer," Hyland wrote on her Instagram story back in March.

"I have committed to an exciting project, that will be announced soon, that conflicts directly with the shooting dates for Love Island USA."
