First look at Love Island Games as all-star islanders kiss in new trailer

The first trailer for the Love Island Games was released on Thursday, 19 October, teasing new romances between an all-star cast.

Former Islanders are returning for the spin-off series, which sees fan favourites head to a villa in Fiji for a chance to find love and win a $100,000 prize.

Contestants include Love Island UK's Megan Barton-Hanson and Curtis Pritchard, Love Island USA's Cely Vazquez, and Love Island Australia's Mitch Hibberd, with Maya Jama as host.

A teaser clip hinted at drama as an islander was shocked to find that her ex-partner entered the villa, as well as an argument erupting between contestants.
