SUMMER is nearly here which means just one thing for reality TV fans - Love Island.
The hit ITV2 show, which sees sexy singletons hoping to find love in a luxury villa, will return to screens next month.
A promo video starring host Caroline Flack reveals the show will be back on Monday, June 3.
A clip on social media sees presenter Caroline, 39, floating upwards in a swimming pool.
Above her are the words 'Day Dot Is Coming', before the start date of 'Monday 3rd June', with narrator Iain Sterling repeating the information.

It comes amid controversy as ITV faces scrutiny over its support for reality show contestants following the deaths of former Love Island contestants Sophie Gradon and Mike Thalassitis.
Following Thalassitis' death, ITV said that its "duty of care is a continuous and ongoing process for each (Love) Islander".
The broadcaster added that a review had led it to "extend our support processes to offer therapy to all Islanders and not only those that reach out to us. And we will be delivering bespoke training to all future Islanders to include social media and financial management".
The broadcaster said it would also no longer be "reliant on the islanders asking us for support but for us to proactively check in with them on a regular basis".
Last week, ITV announced The Jeremy Kyle Show has been axed permanently following the death of a guest.
The confrontational talk show was suspended indefinitely by the broadcaster on Monday following the death of a participant, 63-year-old Steve Dymond, a week after a programme featuring him was filmed.
The programme has now ended for good following an outcry and calls for it to be cancelled from MPs and members of the public.
