Love Island AU drops first whacky trailer
After it’s wildly popular seasons in the UK, Love Island is heading for Australian shores for a second season, releasing its first trailer.
Along with a bunch of young, attractive singles looking for love, the teaser trailer includes host Sophie Monk as a flute-playing mermaid.
Have a look at the trailer below.
But, that’s just the tip of whacky, love-themed iceberg.
After the singles are seen reaching the island, they reappear at a pool party, complete with Sophie Monk the mermaid by the poolside.
Then, a shot of the word ‘Straya’ written on someone’s back in sunscreen, a small BBQ containing a plate of lamingtons, and a vegemite sandwich in the shape of Australia all make an appearance.

The trailer isn’t the only thing to cause a stir, after it was revealed that the producers are struggling to cast singles for the upcoming show.
According to an episode of the So Dramatic! podcast, producers ended up sourcing talent from cafes in Bondi and by approaching models on Instagram to make up the numbers.
With these kinds of rumours swirling, the new season is bound to be filled with drama, in one way or another.
