The wait is over – Love Island is finally back on our screens.

Monday night’s series opener introduced us to the 12 people we’re going to be cancelling plans to stay in and watch over the next eight weeks.

After Caroline Flack played cupid and coupled up the new Islanders for the first time, there were shocks, drama and the early emergence of a love triangle.

ITV

As ever, social media was alight with commentary and memes, so here’s the 21 main takeaways from the first instalment of Island action...

1. Everyone mourned the loss of the catchy Superdrug jingles now that they no longer sponsor of the show

WHERE TF IS SUPERDRUG??? #LoveIsland

2. Although the actually-quite-funny new UberEats break-bumpers quickly earned some fans

3. The sound of Iain Stirling’s voice was actually quite comforting after so long

9. While quite why he offered up the fact that his mum shaves his bum within five minutes of arriving in the villa was anyone’s guess

12. Amber immediately alienated herself from at least half of the show’s viewers when she told 28-year-old Callum he was “old”
