The British reality TV show Love Island has fast become an international viewing sensation. There is also a massive local following of the show.

Love Island follows a group of single UK residents who have come on the show hoping to find love. Along the way, friendships are formed, love is found and lost, banter is had, and games are played.

Filmed over the European summertime in Majorca, Spain, contestants live together in a villa for eight weeks where they spend every waking second together.

Throughout the eight weeks, individuals and couples are voted out of the villa. The public votes for who goes and who stays, but sometimes the Islanders have to vote their friends off themselves.

The winning couple receives a generous cash prize of £50,000 (R866,292) for their efforts.
