The tenth series of Love Island began broadcasting on 5 June 2023 on ITV2.[1] [2] Maya Jama returned to present the series, with Iain Stirling again returning as narrator.[3]
On 31 July 2023, the series was won by Jess Harding and Sammy Root with 34.57% of the final vote. Lochan Nowacki and Whitney Adebayo finished as runners-up.
In June 2022, during the broadcasting of the eighth series, it was confirmed that the show would return for two series in 2023, the first of which was the ninth series which aired earlier in 2023 between January and March.[4] [5] It is the first time in the show's history that two series have aired in the same year. The tenth series began on 5 June 2023 and was filmed in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, Mallorca.[6] [7] [8] Applications for the series opened hours prior to the final episode of the ninth series.[9] [10] Maya Jama was announced to be returning for her second series as presenter, whilst Iain Stirling who has narrated the show since its inception in 2015, again returned as narrator.[11] [12] Further duty of care procedures were implemented by ITV and as in the previous series, contestants were asked to "pause their social media accounts" to "shield [the contestants] and their families' from trolls' abuse".[13] [14]
The original Islanders for the tenth series were announced on 29 May 2023, one week before the series launch.[15] [16] The series featured returning contestant Kady McDermott, who previously appeared in the second series back in 2016.[17]

Official ratings are taken from BARB.[74] Because the Saturday episodes are "Unseen Bits" episodes rather than nightly highlights, these are not included in the overall averages. Viewing figures are consolidated 7-day viewing figures with pre-broadcast viewing and viewing on tablets, PCs and smartphones included. Figures marked N/A were not included in the top 50 weekly ratings.
