HAVE you found the one you want to couple up with?
Love Island is back and if it’s put you in the mood for romance, here’s how to plan your own date night without the drama.

Because all you need is love…
SHOW TIME: Settle down for a Love Island binge or a movie night. Use cushions and blankets to set the scene and move lamps from around the house to create a cosy vibe.
Pick your show or film and pop your own popcorn.
Create a dupe of the Tango Ice Blast cinema slushies by blending Tango or any orange-flavoured soft drink, a few ice lollies and a handful of ice.
PARK LIFE: Choose a scenic spot for a picnic outdoors. Bring blankets and cushions or a rug from home while the evenings are still cool.
Make your own sarnies, load up on some of Morrisons’ ‘two for £3.50’ picnic deals and pour a glass of the Castellore Pinot Grigio Blush, £4.29 at Aldi.
WISH UPON A STAR: If you’re near the coast or in a rural setting, take a blanket to a remote spot with a flask of hot chocolate. Download the free SkyView app to see an augmented reality star map and test your knowledge.
AHEAD OF THE GAME: Inject some competitive spirit into the evening with a games night. Indoors, this might involve a serious battle of the board games or darts.
