For those who need a recap, Love Island: Aftersun airs every Sunday after that night's episode of Love Island UK and sees the host (aka Maya Jama) sit down with a panel of celeb guests to discuss all the villa antics from the previous week and interview islanders would have been dumped.

As of January 2023, former islander Indiyah Polack and Made In Chelsea's Sam Thompson were announced as the new Love Island: Aftersun panel regulars, as well as the hosts of Love Island's 'The Morning After' podcast. 

ITV announced the news on January 5, 2023, with a tweet that read: "We’ve got a text! Indiyah and Sam will be the brand new hosts of The Morning After podcast and will also be joining every week on Aftersun!"

Now for season 10, the pair are back with Indiyah, who is still in a relationship with fellow islander Dami Hope—making them one of the few Love Island couples still together—taking to Instagram to confirm the news. 

She wrote: "We’ve got a text!!!!😭 your favorite duo is back for another round! So happy that we’re gonna be back on your screens every Sunday and EVERYDAY on the pod!! Thank you guys for loving us and supporting us all the way—here’s to another amazing summer 🏝️💕."

What celebs are likely to appear on 'Love Island: Aftersun'?

If you're new to the reality show, Aftersun is a chat show where Love Island's host Maya, is joined a celebrity panel—which often features a former islander or two—as well as a live studio audience.

The group then discusses all the antics and most memorable Love Island UK moments from the week prior. As mentioned, in each episode, Maya and her regular panel—made up of Sam and Indiyah—are joined by a number of celeb guests and former contestants. 

In the past, islanders like Mille Court, Chloe Burrows, Kem Cetinay and Georgia Steel have appeared on the show, as well as TV personalities like Russel Kane and Joel Dommett. So it's likely a few of these names might return, as well as a number of other Islanders.

When is 'Love Island: Aftersun'?

Aftersun airs every Sunday night for the duration of the reality show's run (around eight weeks), straight after the latest installment of Love Island and is presented by Maya Jama. Unlike Love Island though, which is set in Mallorca, fans might be surprised to know that Love Island: Aftersun is filmed in London.

Catch Love Island: Aftersun on Sundays straight after the night's Love Island episode—you can catch it on ITV2, or on catch-up from ITVX.
