IT WAS ONLY a week ago today that Kem and Amber took home the Love Island crown for 2017.

And last night the whole gang were back on ITV2 and 3e for a reunion show hosted by Caroline Flack:

Great!

Despite the antics of the contestants all summer, the real breakout star of the show has been the sarcastic and biting voiceover that’s taken us through every episode.

A bit of research would have shown fans that it was the voice of Scottish comedian Iain Stirling – but he’d never appeared in front of the camera.

Until last night – when Caroline Flack interviewed him about the show

So it was the first time so many people had actually seen him… making it a surreal experience

His voice made it seem like he was a grizzled old comedian taking the piss out of the young contestants

I was well shocked with how young the love island commentator is 😂 I thought he was quite old with that voice awks #loveislandreunion

“Bring him in as a contestant next year” – everyone

Iain Stirling to present the whole thing, voiceover and preferably be a contestant next year please. #loveislandreunion

Behind the camera, in front of the camera… he’s always the star of the show

After the show finished last night, Stirling realised his appearance had caused a stir: “Apparently I sound like a 40y/o divorced father of three. I’m not.”

A wise, experienced voice would give you that impression alright.

Once again comfirming himself as the real gem in the Love Island crown
