The nation’s sexiest singles return when Love Island Australia premieres Monday, October 4, at 9.00pm after The Block on Channel Nine and 9Now.
Sophie Monk returns to host and play Cupid alongside new addition, comedian Stephen Mullan, the narrator, in the world-renowned reality TV show.
Sophie Monk said: “I can’t wait for everyone to meet the new cast on Love Island – they are sassy, fun, and looking for love, and what better place to find it than the luxurious Love Island villa.”
The Islanders are all hoping to find romance, passion and “the one” where they couple up, stay together, and win over the hearts of the public, all while surviving the temptations of beautiful bombshells entering the villa.
At the end of the series, the winning couple as voted by the public are handed a pot of money to start their new lives together, but there’s a very big catch: one partner gets the whole say in either sharing the money 50/50 – or walking away with the lot, like a love rat. Were they after love or the money all along?
