To mark the launch of Love Island 2022, the hit reality TV show has taken over some famously romantic statues across the UK – with previous winners Paige Turley and Finley Tapp replicating the insta-worthy Wincher’s Stance statue in Glasgow.

“Not to mention that we’re super excited to see who’s heading to the Villa this season and see what surprises ITV2 have in store.
