Love Island viewers outraged by ITVX launch night crash
Love Island fans were left furious as ITVX experienced technical difficulties on the launch night of the new summer series. The highly anticipated eleventh season of the popular dating show, hosted by Maya Jama, premiered at 9pm as scheduled for a 90-minute episode. However, many viewers trying to access the show on ITV’s streaming platform encountered issues until the first commercial break.
Reactions poured in on social media, with one viewer expressing their frustration by tweeting: “@ITVX what is wrong with you why are you not working DURING THE FIRST NIGHT OF #LoveIsland A TRUEEE CRIMEEE.” Another viewer complained, “Took me 15 minutes for itv app to work @ITVX get it sorted it never works,” while a third fan joked, “itvx is down for love island what am i supposed to make a conversation about at work tomorrow.”
Despite the initial technical glitch, ITVX technicians managed to resolve the issue, allowing Love Island enthusiasts to catch up on the drama by utilizing the ‘restart’ option when streaming. This incident occurred shortly after 2024 Islander Mimii Ngulube addressed the show’s efforts to improve diversity, reassuring fans that the upcoming season would showcase cultural representation.
Love Island continues to air on ITV2 and stream on ITVX, providing fans with a mix of entertainment and romance. Stay tuned for more updates and drama from the Love Island villa.
