Love Island USA kicks off tonight- here's everything you need to know about the brand-new series
We still can't get over the absolute madness that is this series of Love Island (see: the post Casa Amor recoupling drama), but it turns out there's an entirely new series about to be thrown into the mix.
Love Island USA starts on July 9th, and will see a host of American singles head to Fiji to look for love.
It will be the first time ever the show has been filmed in the South Pacific (the UK version is in Majorca).
Unlike the UK version, it looks like Love Island US might be considerably less raunchy - given that it airs at 8PM on CBS.
Here's everything you need to know.
Who is the host of Love Island USA?
The American version of Caroline Flack will be Arielle Vandenberg, who has starred in Epic Movie and How I Met Your Mother.
Arielle said: “As a huge fan of the show, I can’t tell you how excited I am to be hosting Love Island this summer."
