From ‘I’ve got a text’ to ‘pulling me for a chat’, the show is known for generating a slew of famous slogans and catchphrases.
And Love Island fans were convinced that they’ve spotted a new one already during the new winter series’ launch on Monday.

While Love Island is one of TV’s most popular shows, it also dominates social media, with fans regularly sharing their opinions on the action in real time.
And as the first episode of the ITV2 show’s 2023 winter series was aired on Monday night, quick-witted viewers flocked to Twitter to share a string of hilarious memes.
From farmer Will’s awkward flirting to Olivia’s glaring side eye, it appeared that every detail of the night’s proceedings inspired a comedic response.
‘She’s giving main character energy!’ Love Island fans brand Olivia the breakout star of the series after the ring girl is left SEETHING over Kai’s betrayal during the first coupling
Love Island made its long-awaited return to screen on Monday nights, with this year’s hopefuls coupling up for the first time.
And it appears that viewers are already taken with the brash brunette Olivia Hawkins, with many insisting she’s giving ‘main character energy’ after she was left seething over being ditched by hunk Kai Fagan.
The ring girl, 27, originally chose to couple up with PE teacher Kai after he took a fancy to her, but he was quick to ditch her in favour of Tanyel Revan.

Did they save the best till last?
She previously enjoyed a 4-year romance with Stormzy
Viewers have had their say…
The TV and radio presenter, making her villa bow after replacing Laura Whitmore, won unanimous praise from viewers as she arrived in a sweeping gown with a plunging detail that enhanced her cleavage.
Maya, 28, looked like she’d been presenting the show for years as she oversaw the first group coupling, however viewers were unimpressed with her ITV2 paymasters after the channel went into meltdown within seconds of its return.
A series of technical glitches and screen freezes blighted the 90-minute launch, with Love Island returning to South Africa’s Cape Town after a three years absence.
Meanwhile, after the first coupling of the season – which aw two steals – bombshell Tom strolled in, much to the shock of the islanders.
Maya then revealed a big twist, that in just 24 hours Tom will get to couple up with any girl of his choice, leaving one boy single.
But who will he choose?
They do look very alike…
Will they go the distance?
WHAT AN ENTRANCE
Well, she did appear TWICE in one episode!
That didn’t take long!
We need to start a petition to get Maya in the villa EVERYDAY
