LOVE Island's Indiyah had only just stepped into the famous villa when she made a MAJOR gaffe about the show's most popular feature.

The ITV2 reality show kicked off tonight with a brand new batch of sexy singletons all looking for love this summer.

Indiyah was first into the Love Island villa with paramedic Paige, and after sipping on some champagne they decided to take a look at the villa.

But as they toured their new pad, Indiyah made a major mistake by thinking a much smaller seating area was in fact the famous firepit.

Every year the Islanders gather round an enormous firepit to learn about re-coupling and eliminations.

The actual firepit is much bigger than the one Indiyah thought it was.

Meanwhile, the opening episode of the show also featured a MAJOR twist which saw the couple's being paired off by the public.

Usually the Islanders choose who they like the look of, but this year producers decided to shake things up a bit.

So in a twist, they put it to fans to couple up the Islanders.

Meanwhile, ex-footballer Michael Owen's daughter Gemma is part of this year's line-up.

The show's first deaf contestant Tasha Ghouri is also taking part and is looking for love this summer.

The Sun previously reported that the 2022 series could run for 10 weeks.

An insider told us: “This series is going to be the longest ever and it’s from a brand new location so it’s all very exciting.”

Love Island will air every night at 9pm on ITV2.
