Maya Jama reveals new Love Island twist that will 'rock the villa' tonight

Love Island is returning to people's screens imminently and Maya Jama has teased that there's going to be a new twist that'll shake things up for the villa's fresh faces.

A new set of singletons are set to compete in the reality show where they might meet the love of their life, or at least score some kind of paid influencer position.

There's also £50,000 up for grabs for the winners, but there's a long way to go before we get there and for this new series proceedings are going to be starting at night instead of day.

Show host Maya Jama has said the dozen folk who are single and ready to mingle in view of TV cameras will need to deal with a 'secret twist that will completely rock the villa'.

For the first bit of action, Jama kicks things off with a party game of 'I have never' as the new contestants have to answer all manner of questions.

Afterwards it's time for everyone to couple up, but Jama throws a wrench into the works as she says they'll be doing it a bit differently this year and poses the islanders with a question.

"Are you gonna play it safe, or will you step outside of your comfort zone for the right person?" she asks.

Fortunately for ITV 2 bosses who want the pot of simmering drama to be well-stirred, a few of the islanders have their sights set on the same person.

However, that's not the big twist, as Jama said you'll just have to wait and see what the thing that'll 'rock the villa' is.

One hopes it'll be a better kind of shock than the one which hit Love Island All Stars where the South African weather and subsequent wildfires meant contestants had to abandon the set.

That wasn't really part of the plan and you'd be hoping the producers would be keeping the contestants in the villa and in front of the cameras for as long as possible.

Previous bombshell revelations to shake up the formula have included the arrival of reality TV star Joey Essex.

Plenty of celebrities have made guest appearances on Love Island but Essex was the first to join the ranks of the contestants which prompted a bit of confusion from everyone else.

Time and patience will tell what this latest twist that'll rock the Love Island villa to its very foundations turns out to be.

A new series of Love Island begins at 9pm on ITV 2.
