Summer is here, and love is in the air – at least on reality TV, anyway! There’s a new show called Love Island, and it’s all about helping 11 single guys and girls find their soulmates. If you’re getting Paradise Hotel vibes, you’re not alone – Love Island does have similar themes and challenges as the former, (which we here at FTV covered heavily during its run).
