The  Winter edition, the first that will be hosted by new presenter Maya after Laura Whitmore quit in August last year, will kick off on Monday, January 16.

Indiyah and Made In Chelsea star Sam, who is dating Love Island star Zara McDermott, will be coming together every day to spill the tea on all the latest goings on in the Villa.

The duo will also join new host Maya live in London every Sunday night for Love Island: Aftersun, where they’ll deep dive into the latest news from the sun-drenched South African Villa, share unseen clips and chat to celebrities, Islanders’ family, friends and more.

Speaking about her new gig, Indiyah said: “Not me teaming up with Sam on the Love Island podcast and getting to be a regular panellist on Aftersun. I genuinely can't explain how excited I am!!

“I can't wait to speak to the Islanders and get all the cheeky goss from their friends and families. It's gonna be an insane series, I can’t wait!!”

Sam added: "It feels like I’m with my family and we’re all in it together and I really like it. We’re all massive fans of the show and it’s really, really nice."

They have taken over the podcast from Kem Cetinay and Arielle Free.

ITV2 is days from announcing the cast for the new series.
