Love Island host Maya Jama has revealed who the first five couples of the summer series are, as voted by the public.

Just one of those confirmed in tonight’s episode (June 5) was 23-year-old model Ella Thomas from Glasgow and semi-professional footballer Tyrique Hyde.

After finding out who she will be sharing a bed with tonight, Ella told 24-year-old Tyrique from Essex that she recognised him.

Standing awkwardly next to the pool, Ella said: "Do you remember we've met before?"

Tyrique replied: "When?"

To which Ella explained: "Not even long ago...in London."

Ella soon confronted Tyrique after he said “we’ll chat in a minute” and he later confirmed he did know her but he just didn’t recognise her as her appearance had changed.

Who are the first 5 couples on Love Island 2023?

As well as looking for love, the ITV2 stars will be competing to win £50,000 prize money after spending eight weeks in the villa. The first couples are:

  • Catherine and André
  • Ella and Tyrique
  • Jess and George
  • Molly and Mitchel
  • Ruchee and Mehdi
