Love Island

British dating competition

Love Island is a British reality television series in which young, attractive singles live together in a villa, coupling up in pursuit of romance and a cash prize.

The format spawned numerous international versions.

The show's name has become shorthand for a certain type of low-stakes, high-drama dating content: My roommate's been watching Love Island all weekend.
