It is an indisputable fact that no other TV show on earth supplies social media with as much meme-able content as Love Island—and let us tell you, Love Island season eight is no exception. While the show is only just getting started, the 2022 Love Island cast is already delivering the goods—so without further ado, here are the best memes from Love Island UK 2022.
For most Love Island fans, one does not simply watch the show, despite all its very memorable moments. No—to really enjoy and immerse yourself into the 'OG dating show,' you must also have all your social media apps open on your phone at all times, especially during the ad breaks to keep up with the conversation.
No detail or interaction goes unnoticed, or unpunished by Love Island fans (remember Chloe Burrow's 'No Way meme' becoming the hit Love Island UK 2021 meme?) and because of this we already have quite the repertoire of memes to send your way.
The best 'Love Island UK' 2022 memes
1.The most awkward coupling up in Love Island history
One of the many changes to hit Love Island this year was the first coupling up—which in a shocking turn of events saw the public choosing the couples, rather than the classic stepping forward. This led to one of the longest ten minutes of all our lives...

If Gemma was a TikTok sound she would literally be: "I've been dropping so many hints. You're still not getting it."

6. Why does no one want to be the person 'that gets up and makes everyone a coffee so everyone's ready for the morning?'
We are still yet to see one single Islander drinking a coffee—this would never happen under Curtis Pritchard's watch!

Thankfully for Curtis, he may be able to rest with the arrival of bombshell Ekin-Su—who has offered to be the one who makes everyone breakfast, so that's something!

14. Does this make Luca the 'Italian starter'?
New bombshell Jay has boldly claimed that while Davide might be an 'Italian snack'—he's the 'Italian main course'—what a line!

15. "YOU'RE A LIAR, AN ACTRESS, GTFO!"
Perhaps the most iconic sentence to ever be uttered on the show. It came after Davide found out about Ekin-Su and Jay's secret meeting on the terrace which actress, Ekin had lied about—hence why Davide shouted: "You're a liar, an actress, go the f*** out!"
YOU ARE A LIAR, ACTRESS GO THE FUCK OUT 😭 #loveisland pic.twitter.com/sgAozWDZkMJune 16, 2022
“You are a liar, actress get the fuck out” HAHAHAHAHHA DAVIDE #loveIsland pic.twitter.com/nSoYpC6aqsJune 16, 2022

16. The villa needs Millie on the keyboard right now
Following the emotional double dumping that saw both Amber and Ikenna leave the villa, it's fair to say the islanders needed a solo from Millie Court...
