You’re reading Winter Well, our seasonal guide to taking care of your body, mind and spirits during the winter months.
After just a four month break, it’s time for another series of Love Island.
This is the ninth season of the show and the second edition of its opinion-dividing winter season. Can you believe the first winter season launched way back in January 2020, before the pandemic, with contestants Paige Turley and Finn Tapp crowned as winners on February 23, just a month before Boris Johnson announced the first Covid lockdown.
There have been two summer series since then, and now Love Island is back – and with a new presenter in Maya Jama. And whether you’re a massive fan of the show or a hate watcher, it’s all you’re going to hear about this week.
I for one am excited to be glued to my TV screen, arguing about which couple is the most compatible. Sure we’re taking a deep breath and have our fingers crossed there’s a little less toxic masculinity on show than last summer.
But Love Island is the ultimate distraction, especially in the wintertime. The show hasn’t even started yet and it’s the talk of Twitter. Here’s what the viewing public have to say about it.
Our favourite source of entertainment is back
Love island back tonight… I can’t wait to forget about my own problems and focus on why the new guy looked at the blonde girl a certain way 😩

Who cares about Blue Monday when Love Island is starting?
So tomorrow is Blue Monday & January feels 6 months long already but in just 3 weeks we have a bank holiday weekend 🎉 (thank God!) Plus Love Island returns tomorrow if you're into that 👌 #thinkpositive

It’s weird watching Love Island in the winter but it has its perks
I might check out winter Love Island this year I fear.
Even though it still feels weird, like spending Christmas in Bahamas or catching cold in July.— Gabs (@Demonlighter) January 9, 2023
still think winter love island is missing a trick by not doing it at a cute lil ski resort
— izzie (@izzienaylor) January 9, 2023
I think I prefer winter love island no better time to be home watching it at 9 every night
— Tyfleeka (@tyyy__x) January 16, 2023
Okay, so not everyone’s a fan
Love Island is back tonight, which means I need a game to play for the Switch. Was thinking FF7 unless you, Twitter, have a better idea?
