Heading to Mallorca to welcome those hoping to find some love will be Maya Jama, who teased on her Instagram, "We're coming in hot!" with a fire emoji, so we're expecting nothing but an explosive start to the contestants' time in the villa.

Who is Ronnie Vint?
Ronnie describes himself as "bubbly, fun and confident". He hopes to get on well with the others in the villa.
The mayonnaise-mad footballer explains that flashing a grin is often what gets the ladies interested: "I always get told I’ve got a nice smile, and I’m tall - which goes down well with the girls."
Ronnie has had two serious relationships, and now hopes the series will help him find the woman of his dreams.
"I’ve got to the age where I want to find the right person I can build a life with," he said. "I want someone that's family-orientated, caring and career-minded. Looks-wise, I like blondes with nice boobs - but am partial to a brunette too."
