Here we reveal all the details you need to watch "Love Island U.K." season 12 online and from anywhere with a VPN — including free options.

The original — and arguably still the best — iteration of the "Love Island" behemoth, Maya Jama and Iain Stirling are back to see whether getting a hand plucked group of beautiful twenty-somethings together on a Spanish island is a sure-fire way to inspire true love... or at least a few extra Instagram followers!
Promotional material suggested that there will be more breakups, more make ups, and more twists than ever. And so far, it hasn't disappointed.
Having only started on Monday, we've already seen three bombshells enter the Mallorca villa, one person dumped and, in the latest episode (episode 4 is streaming on ITVX now), a recoupling that saw six Islanders pair up with a new suitor. Shakira may be sticking with Ben, but the memory of her kiss with Blu still lives fresh in the memory. Is there another dumping around the corner?
