And insiders say show bosses are choosing which islanders will be part of the 2021 original cast this week.

A source told The Sun: "Bosses are finalising who goes into the villa on the launch show right now.

"The cast are already in Spain, quarantining ahead of the first episode.

"Everyone's really excited - it's going to be the best series yet as they have some really interesting islanders lined up for the villa."

Builders have been rushing to get the classic Majorca villa ready before the June 28 start date.

In exclusive pictures obtained by The Sun, the Love Island villa is seen surrounded by vans and shipment containers.

It appears to be getting quite the renovation, as big yellow construction vehicles can also be seen on site.

The cast and crew have set up shop too, with tents and temporary office buildings dotted around the grounds.

Beyond them were palm trees and sunny blue skies suggesting the couple are on the Spanish island preparing for launch night on June 28.

A new trailer confirmed the show is returning this month as Iain joked "I think they missed us" when a chaotic swarm of sexy singletons took to the streets of East London.

Bikini clad women ran into the arms of chiselled hunks during the fun-filled teaser.

And one cheeky singleton grabbed a suggestive aubergine in a cheeky shot.

Wielding a hammer, the new mum marched over to a box containing a large red button marked: "In case of Love Island crack on."

With a grin, she smashed the glass with the mallet as the words "this is not a drill" boomed.

Laura was seen filming the promo in Barking, East London, last month, attracting a crowd of bystanders.

She also posted the promo on her Instagram feed with an image of the big red button inside the glass box echoing the slogan: "This is not a drill."
