LOVE Island is back for a new series this year, and the hit ITV show is looking for singles to apply.

A spokesman for the game show said: "The ultimate game of love is back as Love Island, one of TV's most talked about shows, is looking for lively singles from around the country to take part. 

"Once again our Islanders will take up residence in a spectacular luxury villa in the hope of finding love.

"But to stay on the island, they'll need to couple up - and more importantly - win the hearts of the public."

Anyone wishing to apply should head to itv.com/loveisland to complete an application form.

The Love Island spokesman added: "Auditions are starting soon so we recommend getting your applications in now.

"Applications are open to all over the age of 18."
