11 sexy singles are currently looking for love in South Africa after months of preparation, promotional photos and grooming.
Debut shoots have never been great and most of the footage we see looks nothing like the people we end up meeting in the villa.
Whether it’s bad lighting or the wrong angles, the islanders rage every year over their dubious professional photo of Love Island.
From Millie Court to Adam Collard, many islanders have complained and some have even gone so far as to say that the photos will ‘haunt’ them to death.
Here MailOnline takes a look at all the times the Love Island photographer has dirty the islanders over the years.
Love Island – As the new Love Island series progresses, we got our first glimpse of all 11 new contestants in their professional promo photo before they entered the villa.
Molly-Mae Hague – Season Five
Molly-Mae, 23, stormed into the village with a bang during the fifth season of Love Island and has since become one of the most successful islanders.
Despite her iconic hot tub entrance, the official photo released prior to Molly-Mae’s arrival didn’t do her the justice she deserved.
She didn’t let this stop her though, as she finished second to boyfriend Tommy Fury, with whom she is now expecting a baby.
Oh no! Despite her iconic hot tub entry, the official photo released before Molly-Mae Hague’s arrival didn’t do her the justice she deserved.
Millie Court – Season Seven
Love Island winner Millie, 26, hated her promotional photo so much that she called the Love Island photographer and claimed she’s “going to haunt me until I die.”
Uploading it to her Instagram stories, Millie, who appeared on the show in 2021, wrote: “This photo will haunt me until I die… I’m sorry but it doesn’t.” The award for the worst press photo in the history of Love Island goes to me.
‘What is my hair and makeup? My friends told me that when this photo was released, everyone was saying who the hell is this 40-year-old man. It looks like a mother who leaves her two children at the door.
