'I've got a teeeeext!' You know that summer has officially arrived when Maya Jama leads a new set of lusty, love-hungry, Instagram-famous faces to the villa in Mallorca. There they lounge around in their smallest swimsuits and, with any luck and the odd bit of snaking and pieing off, find their perfect partner thanks to "Love Island U.K.".
As Jama says: "At its core, ["Love Island" is] about human behavior. Attraction, rejection ego, vulnerability — it's all there, just heightened".
What she misses out, of course, is the impact of the show's devious producers, who will inevitably be throwing up more twists, turns, bombshells and games of 'Snog, Marry, Pie' to keep the islanders on their toes.

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching "Love Island U.K." on your preferred streaming service?
You can still watch "Love Island U.K." season 13 thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network).

Using a VPN is incredibly simple:
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN 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. streaming service, you'd select United Kingdom from the server list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the show. Head to ITVX and stream "Love Island U.K." for free.

Last year, "Love Island U.K." made a move from Crave to the Hayu platform that specializes in reality television. Individual episodes followed a couple of weeks after their original U.K. air date.

Assuming that the show does indeed stay on Hayu, newcomers can get a 7-day free trial, after which it costs $7.99/month, $38.99 for six months or $70.99 for a whole year.
