Love Island gets underway this Bank Holiday Monday with an added Irish interest this year following confirmation this week that Galway footballer Seán Fitzgerald would be featuring.
Whether you plan on watching the Virgin Media/ITV show or not, it’s fair to say we’d all love to be chilling poolside right now after the brilliant weather we’ve had over the last week.
