The ninth (ninth!) series of Love Island now back on our screens, marking the first of two 2023 editions of the celebrated reality TV series. Get ready for Casa Amor, scandalous re-couplings, and cringe-worthy challenges (although, not all the challenges will be making a comeback). From real-life proposals to some extremely muggy behaviour, the nation’s favourite bikini-clad dating show has offered us some of the most sublime moments in reality TV history. So, here’s every season of Love Island ranked from best to worst.
There is no denying that Love Island has provided the nation with some serious entertainment over the years. Watching the creation of the Do Bits Society, or Chris and Olivia raising Cash Hughes, there's little question as to why it takes over our summer – and now, winter.
While all of the couples to come out of the show haven’t exactly walked off happily into the sunset there have been some massive success stories. Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti are thriving outside of the villa, landing their own travel show shortly after winning their season. The same can be said for Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, who are expecting their first child together. Olivia Buckland married Alex Bowen in 2018 after they met on series two of Love Island. Dom Lever and Jess Shears also tied the knot in 2018 and have had their first baby together. Jamie Jewitt and Camilla Thurlow are still making us all jealous with how truly #familygoals they are, and the winners of Love Island 2016, Nathan Massey and Cara Delahoyde-Massey have tied the knot and have two children together.
It's hard to put your finger on what makes a good season of Love Island but it's impossible not to have a favourite. As a new cast of islanders enter the villa, your mind can't help but wonder back to favourite faces from seasons past.
So, here is every series of Love Island ranked best to worst because there has to be one overall winner.
While there's no winning formula when it comes to Love Island, it's clear that it's the islanders that make the show. Series 2 was unmissable for me. I still fawn over the contestants on Instagram and re-watch the series on Netflix.
With a brand new villa and some changes to the usual format, Love Island 2022 is highly anticipated and has already got the nation talking already. Cue the chaos and drama.
