How to watch Love Island online: stream from anywhere in the world

Whether it's the abs, bikinis or simple downright trashiness that's got you hooked, you're not alone. Over 2 million of you watched the first episode of this season of Love Island - a guilty pleasure that's turned into a national obsession.

Your biological clock is probably already finely tuned to Love Island's start times, but if you're anxious about missing the show when out of the country we've got some good news. We can tell you an easy, legal and - best of all - free way that you can watch every Love Island minute while away on business or on your hols.

For the uninitiated, it's a dating show like no other. Kind of a cross between BIg Brother, Blind Date and Britain's Next Top Model. Only the most toned and beautiful need apply for a spot in the Majorca villa with evictees and overall winning couple being voted for by the public. And if that all sounds a little tacky, Love Island has critical chops too - it won the 'Best Reality and Constructed Factual' category at this year's BAFTA TV Awards.

Keep reading to discover how to keep up with the Love Island gossip, even if you're outside the UK, with our guide on how to stream for free.

How to watch Love Island in the UK

Love Island is one of those rare shows these days that people still gather around the TV for at the time of broadcast. But you can easily watch it via the ITV website or catch up on your mobile devices via the ITV Hub app - and yes, that does mean Love Island on your commute. 

The other way to watch ITV online is to go via TVPlayer.com - we actually prefer this option as the stream tends to be better quality and more robust. It's also a faster site, more responsive and quicker to get up and running with. It's still free, too.
