With Love Island finally back on our screens on Monday night, it meant only one thing – the return of the memes.
Twitter was awash with lol-worthy content as the villa doors swung open once again on ITV2.
Here’s the launch show retold told by 22 of these hilarious tweets…
1. The opening moments made us feel things we haven’t for the last year
That Love Island theme tune was coming like the national anthem the way it moved me hearing it #LoveIsland

2. Although the ITV Hub being the ITV Hub, the series didn’t get off to a smooth start for many
