Love Island 2023 is looking for people from London to apply for the next series - when it is, entry criteria

Londoners stand up, as you can now apply for ninth season of Love Island, following in the footsteps of previous capital residents such as Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Indiyah Polack, Ovie Soko and many more.

It was eight long weeks of make ups, break ups, tantrums, dumpings, recouplings and everything in between that culminated in Ekin Su and Davide’s win, with over 30 islanders coming and going during the show.

Some labelled it the most dramatic season yet, with more challenges and things such as Casa Amor occurring slightly earlier, giving existing couples who were formed prior to Casa less time to become more secure, allowing temptation to take over.
