Love Island is back with a new host, a new villa and a new group of singletons looking for love (or at the very least a cheeky fumble).
The dating show's winter edition returns next Monday on ITV2 with Maya Jama overseeing all of the action from South Africa.
Ten contestants will move into the villa on day one - scroll on to meet the new islanders!

Tanya Manhenga

Why Love Island? "I'm looking for a boyfriend and I think being in a villa with lots of different people will help me work out who it is I may want."

Kai Fagan
Age: 24
From: Manchester
Occupation: Science and PE teacher
Why are you single? "I'm single by choice. I'm looking for the right girl. I feel like I have quite high expectations. I don't feel I should commit to someone unless I'm absolutely buzzing over them, because it's not fair on them."

Lana Jenkins
Age: 25
From: Luton
Occupation: Makeup Artist
What turns you off? "I don't mind people texting me all the time but if you send me question marks if I've not replied to you in a while, you're gone. That's a really big red flag for me! Also if I see a guy trip over, that's an instant turn off."

Ron Hall
Age: 25
From: Essex
Occupation: Financial Advisor
What may people not know about you? "On meeting me, you'd never know I am blind in one eye. It was the result of a football injury when I was 8; I went in for a header and got kicked in the face. I've got two different coloured eyes, one blue and one green. It's added to my character, there are so many people that are worse off than me. And if anything, losing something like that makes you realise that. It's not hindered me in any shape or form. It's a good conversation starter I must admit."

Anna-May Robey
Age: 20
From: Swansea
Occupation: Payroll Administrator
Why Love Island? "I want a boyfriend, I want to find someone who makes me laugh. I've been single for quite a while, my mother is bugging me, she's like, 'You need to find a boyfriend.' I'm just excited to try something new and I think going on Love Island is a good way to meet someone."

Will Young
Age: 23
From: Buckinghamshire
Occupation: Farmer
Why Love Island? "Having grown up on a farm, it's been quite difficult juggling relationships and work. Love Island will give me time away from the farm to solely go out and find love. I think I'm at the time of my life where I'm mature enough to go and find a wife."

Tanyel Revan
Age: 26
From: North London
Occupation: Hair Stylist
What makes you a catch? "I'm hard to get, confident, funny, charismatic, good looking and happy. I'm also a very loyal person, what is there not to love?"

Shaq Muhammad
Age: 24
From: London
Occupation: Airport Security Officer
Why Love Island? "I haven't had the best luck with previous relationships. So I thought, why not be in the sun and potentially meet the love of my life? Hopefully I do come out with my future wife. The person I hope to marry one day. Hopefully she's in the villa."

Olivia Hawkins
Age: 27
From: Brighton
Occupation: Ring Girl and Actress
Why Love Island? "I'm 27 and I've never been in a relationship so I feel like now I'm really ready to settle down and hopefully find the love of my life."

Haris Namani
Age: 21
From: Doncaster
Occupation: TV Salesman
Why Love Island? "I've never found love. I think this is the show that can help me. It's the best opportunity for me to find the girl and find the right one. I've obviously not found the right one myself."
Love Island starts next Monday at 9pm on ITV2.
