LOVE ISLAND fans, rejoice! The smash TV show has just returned to screens for the summer.

If you’re outside the UK, no need to worry: here’s how to watch Series 12 of Love Island abroad.

The glorious Maya Jama is back on hosting duties as TV’s sexiest reality show makes its summertime return.

And yep, we’re pretty sure there’s a lot of romantic drama on the way, with two hunky bombshells set to enter the villa in the coming days.

We’ve already had shocked fans threatening to call Ofcom as a brutal twist has set a proverbial cat among the pigeons.

If you’re jetting abroad soon, you’ll likely know that watching Love Island overseas can be tricky.

That’s because streaming ITVX outside the UK is blocked -luckily, there’s a simple (and legal) solution.

You can use a VPN, such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN, to stream ITV content from overseas.

Read on to learn how to use a VPN to access Love Island abroad.

How to watch Love Island 2025 abroad with a VPN

The whole process for watching Love Island 2025 while you’re outside the UK is actually pretty simple.

VPNs are online tools that can simulate a UK-based IP address, allowing you to bypass content restrictions.

Here’s what you need to do:

• Download a VPN like ExpressVPN or NordVPN to whatever device you use to stream content.
• Load the VPN app on that device, and select a UK server.
• Head to ITVX, and search for Love Island. Play, sit back and enjoy!

ITVX is where you can catch up on episodes that are already live.

You can also use a VPN to watch Love Island live on ITV2, but remember: you need to have a TV license to watch any live UK television from overseas.

When does Love Island Series 12 2025 start?

It’s already started! Did you not get the memo?

BRITS could end up having £700,000 less in their pension pots than they need for a comfortable retirement, analysis shows.

The shocking figures reveal a worker on an average salary of £35,000 starting out today would need a pension pot of nearly £1.2million in 40 years’ time to be able to retire comfortably.

That’s according to the Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA).

But recent Government figures showed the current minimum level of pension contributions for private sector workers would leave employees with £460,000 at retirement.

That’s a whopping £740,000 lower than the amount the PLSA says is needed to retire comfortably.

Workers are automatically enrolled by their employers to make pension contributions, with the minimum level set at 8% of qualifying earnings.

The employer will contribute 3% while the employee covers the remaining 5%.

Last year, the PLSA estimated the average Brit would have a shortfall of £640,000 in their pension pot by retirement.

But there has been an increase in the estimated cost of affording a comfortable retirement, so workers will now need an extra £100,000.

The PLSA says a single person who owns their own home will need an annual post-tax income of £43,900 for a comfortable retirement this year.

That’s up from £32,800 in 2020.

A “comfortable” retirement according to the PLSA includes £150 a week to spend on groceries and meals out, £1,500 a year for clothing and footwear, and an annual fortnight-long four-star holiday in the Mediterranean.

For a more modest standard of living, the same worker would need a pension pot of £729,000.

Experts now fear the UK is facing a pensions savings crisis as the minimum contribution level isn’t enough to fund retirement properly.

If pension contributions were upped to 12%, the average £35,000 earner would have £691,977 in their pension pot by retirement – still a shortfall of hundreds of thousands of pounds.

A £50,000 earner would have a pension pot of £658,367 by retirement if they contributed the minimum 8%.

If they upped it to 12%, they would have £988,524.

How is the Government reforming pensions?

The Government is broadly expected to consider its auto-enrolment rules in the next stage of its Pensions Investment Review.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has previously considering copying aspects of Australia’s pension contribution system, which forces employers to pay more into employees’ pots.

But this could prove difficult as businesses have already faced increased costs as they’re contributing more National Insurance for employees and the minimum wage has risen too.

The Government is currently planning some of the biggest pension reforms in decades.

It earlier announced plans to move billions of pounds of pension savings into larger “megafunds”.

The scheme is aimed at boosting savers’ retirement pots as well as investment in the UK.

Data from the final report of the Pensions Investment Review showed the move should boost the average earner’s pension pot by £6,000 by the time they retire.

This is based on the average earner who begins saving at 22 and continues to do so until they reach state pension age.
