When will Casa Amor 2022 take place? Start date for Love Island twist
It's the moment we've all been waiting for!
The infamous Casa Amor is finally here, which means Love Island fans will have plenty of drama to gorge on in the coming days. Expect some serious 'necking on', lots of 'muggy' behaviour, temper tantrums all over the shop and a good deal of heartbreak, plus some exciting new romance to set our hearts aflutter.
In episode 26, the girls were fooled into thinking that a night out away from the boys was on the cards, but that was actually the producers' covert plan to get the Casa Amor ball rolling.
With the original cast members now split up in separate villas, and a raft of new male and female bombshells entering the mix in a bid to turn their heads, things are about to get very, very interesting.
Will the established couples survive their biggest test yet? Tradition dictates it will be anything but plain sailing...
Fans are certainly expecting the twist to cause carnage for this year’s contestants, with RadioTimes.com readers predicting that Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack will be the only couple to survive the show’s next big challenge.
Viewers think there’ll be trouble in paradise for Tasha Ghouri and Andrew Le Page, and Gemma Owen and Luca Bish, who chose to remain together at the latest re-coupling.
What's more, 60 per cent of Love Island fans think Casa Amor will break up Paige and Jacques.

Casa Amor cast: Meet the contestants
This time, it's the girls who have been whisked away to Casa Amor, where they will be joined by six shiny new boys.
We've rounded up all of the new arrivals for you right here.
What is Casa Amor?
In Spanish, Casa Amor means Love House, and while you could say love does happen here, it's also the cause of a lot of drama.
Introduced in 2017, the twist sees the contestants split into boys and girls, with one group sent to a new villa.
Each house is then joined by a new batch of singles, and the islanders will get to decide if they want to leave their original partner for someone new. The issue is, their other half won't know whether they've chosen to stick or split until they're reunited in the main villa. Cue lots of fireworks!

How long are the cast in Casa Amor for?
Casa Amor usually lasts around three to four days, with the girls and boys getting to know their new islanders while away from their original partners.
They then get to decide if they'd like to stick with their partner or recouple with one of the Casa Amor bombshells, after which all islanders are reunited.
