Enter Davide, a statuesque Italian god who disrupted the evening with “did anyone order an Italian snack?” Cringeworthy and hilarious all at once – this was the Love Island we signed up for.

It’s no accident that the new Love Island villa (or at least the bedroom) is evocative of the very first season in 2015. In between generic dance pop beats, their chat quickly turned to standard Love Island fare; answers to the inevitable “what’s your type” question boiled down to facial hair, tattoos and whether they were going to wear “ugly trunks”.
