#LIAISBACK! In tropical Port Douglas with host Sophie Monk

Temperatures will reach fever pitch when Sophie Monk and Australia’s hottest singles collide for the third season of Love Island Australia, to be filmed at tropical Port Douglas in Far North Queensland later this year.

Aussie sweetheart and charming all-rounder Sophie Monk returns to host and play Cupid in the world-renowned reality TV show, which promises to deliver another picture-perfect backdrop with plenty of romantic twists and turns.

A new batch of sexy young singles will light up our screens as they head north to the Love Island villa in search of love and fun in the sun.

Port Douglas will delight viewers, with the crystal-clear waters of the Great Barrier Reef, the luscious Daintree rainforest, and pristine golden beaches.

As always, the islanders must couple up, stay together, and win over the hearts of the public, all while surviving the temptations of beautiful new singles entering the villa.

Sophie Monk said: “Love Island is such a fun and irresistible show and you can’t help but get wrapped up in all the flirting, dating and dramas.

“I can’t wait to join a whole new group of girls and guys looking for love, and filming in my hometown of Queensland is an added bonus for me as well, as Port Douglas is one of my favourite places to visit.”

Love Island Australia is produced by ITV Studios Australia for Channel 9 in association with Screen Queensland.
