		</div><p>Caroline Flack has wished Laura Whitmore luck ahead of the first episode of the winter series of Love Island.</p>
<p>The presenter has stepped down from the ITV2 dating show following an assault charge, and Whitmore has taken over.</p>
<p>Flack posted a message on Instagram on Sunday, saying: <em>“Massive good luck to Laura, Iain (Stirling) and the team for tonight’s launch show…</em></p>
<p><em>“The first one always the best one.”</em></p>
<p>The show kicks off with a twist, as two late arrivals spell double trouble for the other contestants.</p>
<p>The opening episode sees 10 new singletons move into the new villa in Cape Town, South Africa – five girls and five boys.</p>
<p>However, there is a surprise later on when identical twins appear.</p>
<p>The girls – Shaughna Phillips, Sophie Piper, Leanne Amaning, Siannise Fudge and Paige Turley – are the first to arrive and start getting to know each other by sharing what they are looking for in a boyfriend.</p>
<p>Democratic services officer Shaughna says she signed up in a bid to find “the opposite of what I attract really – the cocky know-it-alls”.</p>
<p>Singer Paige says she wants someone “tall dark and handsome”, while customer service adviser Leanne admits she has never been in love.</p>
<p><em>“I’ve got a phobia, but I’m here to cure it,”</em> she says.</p>
<p>When the boys – Mike Boateng, Connor Durman, Ollie Williams, Nas Majeed and Callum Jones – turn up, they are told they get to choose first, and the first couples of the series are formed.</p>
<p>Later, sports science graduate and builder Majeed receives a text which sends shockwaves through the villa, and he tells the islanders: <em>“It’s time to really get the party started as two very important guests are about to arrive.”</em></p>
<p>As rumours swirl about whether it will be girls or boys, twins Jess and Eve Gale make their surprise entrance.</p>

<p> ;</p>
<p><em>“Twice is definitely nice, you know what I mean?”</em> says police officer Boateng, while scaffolder Jones declares the newcomers are “double trouble”.</p>
<p>Flack is alleged to have hit boyfriend Lewis Burton over the head with a lamp, causing a head injury.</p>
<p>After entering a not guilty plea to the assault charge at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court, she was released on bail with conditions that stop her having any contact with Burton ahead of a trial on March 4.</p>
<p>Love Island airs tonight at 9pm on ITV2.</p>
