Production In June 2022, during the broadcasting of the eighth series, it was confirmed that the show would return for two series in 2023, the first of which was the ninth series which aired earlier in 2023 between January and March. It is the first time in the show's history that two series have aired in the same year. The tenth series began on 5 June 2023 and was filmed in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, Mallorca. Applications for the series opened hours prior to the final episode of the ninth series. Maya Jama was announced to be returning for her second series as presenter, whilst Iain Stirling who has narrated the show since its inception in 2015, again returned as narrator. Further duty of care procedures were implemented by ITV and as in the previous series, contestants were asked to "pause their social media accounts" to "shield [the contestants] and their families' from trolls' abuse".
Islanders The original Islanders for the tenth series were announced on 29 May 2023, one week before the series launch. The series featured returning contestant Kady McDermott, who previously appeared in the second series back in 2016.

Entrances On Day 1, André, Catherine, Ella T, Jess, George, Mehdi, Mitchel, Molly, Ruchee, Tyrique and Zachariah entered the villa. On Day 3, Whitney entered the villa. On Day 4, Sammy entered the villa. Coupling On Day 1, following a public vote to decide the first couples of the series, André was paired with Catherine, George coupled up with Jess, Mehdi was chosen to be with Ruchee, Mitchel with Molly, and Tyrique was picked to couple up with Ella T. On Day 2, Zachariah, who entered after the coupling, had to steal one girl for himself. He chose Catherine, leaving André single. On Day 5, the islanders recoupled for the first time with the girls picking which boy they'd like to be with. Catherine and Zachariah, Ella T and Tyrique, and Molly and Mitchel remained together, meanwhile Jess chose Sammy, Ruchee coupled up with André, and Whitney went with Mehdi. As George was the only boy not picked he was dumped from the island. Challenges On Day 2, the girls and the boys competed against each other in "Wary Tales", in which they had to guess which islander a fact was about. To make their guess they had kiss the islander they believe is the answer. Dates On Day 2, after Zachariah chose to steal Catherine, they had a date on the terrace. On Day 3, new islander Whitney had to pick an islander to take on a date. She chose André. On Day 4, new islander Sammy had to choose three girls to take on a date in the hideaway. He chose Ella T, Molly and Jess respectively. Exits On Day 5, George was dumped from the island after failing to couple up. Week 2 Entrances On Day 8, Charlotte and Leah entered the villa. On Day 11, Scott entered the villa. Coupling On Day 9, the islanders recoupled again with the boys picking which girl they'd like to be with. However, as new islanders, both Charlotte and Leah were given first choice. Charlotte picked Zachariah, whilst Leah coupled up with Tyrique. As well as this, Mehdi and Whitney, Mitchel and Molly, and Sammy and Jess remained together, meanwhile André chose Catherine. As Ella T and Ruchee were not picked, they became single and vulnerable. Challenges On Day 7, the boys took part in "Absolute Bankers" where they had to strip, collect as many bank notes as possible, then buy a gift for the girl of their choice. The girls declared André as the winner of the challenge. On Day 11, the girls took part in "She's a Keeper" where they had to show off their football skills before giving a boy of their choice a red card. They then had to defend penalty kicks against the boys, then reward their star player with a kiss. Dates On Day 8, new Islanders Charlotte and Leah were asked to choose three other islanders to take on dates with each of them preparing a starter, a main course and a dessert. Both picked Mitch, Tyrique and Zachariah. On Day 9, Mehdi and Whitney left the villa to go on a date. Exits On Day 9, after failing to couple up, Ella T and Ruchee became vulnerable of being dumped. It was then up to the remaining islanders to decide which of the two girls to save. They saved Ella T, which ultimately sent Ruchee home. On Day 12, after receiving the fewest public votes, Catherine, Charlotte and Leah, and André, Sammy and Zachariah were in danger of being dumped. The remaining islanders then had to choose one boy and one girl to dump from the island. The girls chose André, and the boys chose Charlotte.
