He's the voice Love Island viewers have come to very much appreciate over the years thanks to his expert - and hilarious - narration of everything that is going on the famous villa. And now Iain Stirling's revealed a massive change is being made to the ITV2 dating series.
Love Island is set to return to screens in a matter of days, on Monday, June 6, and this year's line-up of singletons - including Michael Owen's daughter and the first deaf contestant - has already been revealed. But the power the Islanders have to choose who they want to couple up with has been taken away.
