Carries Love Island UK in Australia
Channel 9
Smash-hit relationship reality show Love Island UK is back for a sizzling 12th season, with the show set for a number of big surprises to celebrate its 10th year on air.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the show as it airs live, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if it’s not available where live.
Maya Jama will once again usher 12 singletons into the iconic luxury villa in Mallorca, Spain, with some brand-new twists and big-anniversary-themed gameplay planned for the first two weeks.
In a franchise first, the female Islanders will enter the villa in pairs and select partners based solely on dating profiles — before even laying eyes on the male contestants. And in a dramatic turn, reports suggest one contestant will be dumped from the villa on night one.
Among those vying for the £50,000 ($68,000) prize for the winning couple are Harry Cooksley, a semi-pro footballer and model often mistaken for Arsenal star Declan Rice; Sophie Lee, a motivational speaker and burn survivor; Conor Phillips, a rugby pro from Limerick; and Antonia “Toni” Laites, an American bombshell living with ulcerative colitis who’s ready to raise awareness and find love.
If you want to see who sticks it out and who gets voted out of the villa, here’s how you can watch season 12 from anywhere in the world.

How to watch season 12 from anywhere with a VPN
If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with your favorite shows while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins.
VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions, ensuring you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.
