How to watch Love Island UK 2022 for free

Love Island UK 2022 is available to watch for free in the U.K. The show airs on ITV2 and streams on the ITV Hub (opens in new tab). You will, however, also need a valid UK TV license in order to watch. 

Not in the U.K. right now? Don't worry — you can watch from anywhere with one of the best VPN services. Read on and we'll explain.

A VPN, or virtual private network, makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the country you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, even when you're travelling or don't live in the service's "home" country to begin with.

We've tested plenty of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN (opens in new tab). It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. 

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN (opens in new tab) is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to ITV Hub or another service and watch the show.

What happened last night on Love Island UK 2022?

Last night's Love Island saw a steamy air hostess challenge cause a serious rift in one of this year's strongest couples: Luca and Gemma. 

After Gemma playfully licked Adam Collard's chest during the challenge, Luca got the hump and the pair ended up not on speaking terms. The 23-year-old would later claim he wasn't in a mood, but it was pretty clear he wasn't impressed with Gemma's actions even though they were clearly harmless. 

Just as things were starting to settle down again the villa was rocked by the arrival of a text informing the Islanders that the public have been voting for their favorite couples and three pairings are now at risk: Dami and Indiyah, Paige and Adam and Danica and Jamie.

Meanwhile, if you're wondering which past Love Island UK couples are still together? We took a trip down memory lane to see which relationships are still going strong and which flamed out after exiting paradise.
