It's arguably the best bit of Love Island, and we think we speak for everyone when we say we can't wait to see Casa Amor return this year - and we think it might be right around the corner, if past seasons are anything to go by.

Although the twist wasn't introduced until the third series in 2017, it has proven a fan-favourite tradition of the show thanks to its dramatic moments, tears and tantrums.

It sees half of the islanders - usually the boys - leave the main villa and settle into a different abode nearby in Majorca's gorgeous Levante Hills. A selection of new islanders are then introduced, with the girls welcoming new boys to the main villa and the boys being introduced to new girls in the other.

The new villa is usually brought into the show four or five weeks in. Last year, Casa Amor was announced at the end of week four, with the boys being sent there at the start of week five.

Casa Amor usually shakes things up among the show's couples

This means that viewers can most likely expect to see the islanders split up in just a few weeks' time on either the weeks beginning 4 July or 11 July.

The split between the two villas usually lasts for around four days, at the end of which, the islanders will be reunited in the main villa and asked to decide whether to stay in their original pairings or to recouple with a new addition.
