There isn’t long to go until the Love Island 2023 summer series finale… with the date of the final episode apparently leaked during a live TV gaffe.

On Sunday night’s episode of Love Island: Aftersun, the sister show to the main ITV2 programme, host Maya Jama was unpacking the week’s drama in the villa with her panel.

Former Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson admitted that he loved that bombshell Ella Barnes was already ruffling feathers, having drawn Mitchel Taylor away from Casa Amor islander Abi Moores after just a couple of days.

As Sam expressed how entertaining he was finding watching Ella on his TV screen, he also appeared to let slip how much longer all of the contestants have before they’ll be making their way back to the UK.

‘Ella B’s a perfect bombshell for two and a half weeks to go,’ he said, referring the mayhem that Ella’s arrival has already caused by turning Mitchel’s head.

‘She’s exactly what I want in a viewer,’ he added.

Did we just hear you say ‘two and a half weeks to go’, Sam?

Metro.co.uk understands that the schedule for the remaining episodes of Love Island isn’t set in stone at ITV just yet.

However, we can look at the previous series of the programme to compare.

The 2023 summer series consisted of 49 episodes, and came to an end on Monday March 13 this year.

In comparison, the 2022 summer series also had 49 episodes and ended on Monday August 1 that year, while the 2021 series, which had the same number of episodes, ended on Monday August 23 that year.

Tonight’s instalment of Love Island will be the 37th episode of the series, excluding the Unseen Bits episodes that are shown on Saturday nights.

So if we are going to get 49 episodes this summer, then episode 49 should fall on Monday July 31 – which would make sense for a finale date, considering it’s a Monday and now only two weeks away.

We’ll just have to stay tuned for an official announcement!

Metro.co.uk has contacted ITV for comment.

Love Island returns tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

We’re reaching the peak of summer which can only mean one thing: Shark Week is upon us.

The annual seven-day celebration of all things shark returns to Discovery Channel on July 23 with Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa, taking the reins to bring us endless fun, drama and WTF documentaries’ about the creatures which thanks to a certain 1975 Spielberg horror have become the most feared animal on the planet.

Among the shows coming our way is Cocaine Sharks on July 26, the natural successor to the absurd blockbuster smash Cocaine Bear which was somehow loosely based on a true story.

In what will no doubt be one of the most unmissable events in Shark Week, shark expert Tom ‘The Blowfish’ Hird will be heading to Florida Keys to investigate rumours sharks charged on cocaine have been spreading through the fishing community.

What actually happens when sharks and cocaine mix? Well, that’s what Hird will be looking to uncover.

Elsewhere for Shark Week, we’ll be keeping a close eye on Jaws vs The Meg, exploring a theory the humble great white was responsible for the extinction the megalodon, the shark which grew to around 50 foot.

Then Shark vs Snake: Battle of The Bites will investigate why so many tiger shark corpses appear to be washing up on the beaches of West Australian with no sign of an attack. Are deadly sea snakes to blame?

Momoa admitted he’s been ‘begging’ to anchor Shark Week for years, taking over from last year’s host Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Jonson.

‘We’ve been trying to do it probably since 2018,’ he said.

Speaking to People, he added: ‘I’m hoping Shark Week goes well, and I can do another one, and then another one, and just pass on more information.’

Other highlights include Belly of the Beast: Feeding Frenzy, which hopes to find the biggest great white shark ever recorded, and Air Jaws: Final Frontier, which looks at the huge ocean predators that soar well above the surface of the water.

Shark Week launches July 23 on the Discovery Channel.
