THE drama is picking on Love Island as Casa Amor opens its doors to a new set of sexy singletons.
The girls and boys have been separated, with the girls now living it up in the second villa.
How long does Casa Amor last?
The dreaded Casa Amor is back for 2022.
Love Island bosses have not revealed how long contestants will be able to stay in separate villas but, based on previous seasons, fans of the show could expect the stay to last four to five days.
With this in mind, we can expect to see it come to an end on Wednesday (July 6, 2022) or Thursday (July 7, 2022).
But producers do like to leave fans on a cliffhanger, so the big reveal about who coupled up with who, could happen on Friday (July 8, 2022), as viewers would then have to wait until Sunday (July 10, 2022) for the aftermath.
What is Casa Amor?
Although the eighth season of Love Island has not been short of surprises and twists, Casa Amor has always been known for the dramatic shake-ups it provokes in the main villa.
Casa Amor translated in English is “house of love”.
It usually pops up about midway through each series of Love Island.
The Casa Amor villa is separate from the main compound.
Six newbies (boys or girls) head to Casa Amor with six contestants of the opposite sex from the main villa to see if they can be tempted away from their couples.
The six who are left in the main villa are then joined by the second half of brand new Islanders.
If any of the new Islanders can turn the heads of any of the originals, they will be allowed to stay in the villa, while those who do not find a perfect match will be sent home.
What has happened in Casa Amor in the past?
The second villa of Casa Amor was introduced to the show in its third series in 2017 and it has certainly added some spice and unmissable drama to the show over the years.
Things were going well between 2017 Love Island winners Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies, but Casa Amor saw the entrance of hair stylist Chyna Ellis, who Kem got very close with.
In 2018, Casa Amor threw a spanner in the works again when things began to get steamy between Josh Denzel, and newcomer Kaz Crossley, who he chose in favour of staying with the girl he was originally coupled with, Georgia Steel.
In that same year Jack Fincham‘s ex Ellie Jones joined him at Casa Amor, but his head did not turn and instead chose to stay loyal to Dani Dyer.
In season 5 the likes of Anna Vakili and Maura Higgins, were sent to Casa Amor and were joined by five single boys, and fans will remember Anna came back into the main villa with Ovie Soko ditching Jordan Hames, who had remained faithful.
In 2022 Liam Reardon famously cheated on Millie Court, but they still ended up winning the show.
