    However, some viewers were not so keen on another change the show had made relating to the show's narrator. Instead of Matthew Hoffman, who provided voice over for the show's first three seasons on CBS, it is Scottish comedian Iain Stirling, who is the iconic voice of the UK version of the show.

    Not all viewers agreed, and many said they were pleased to hear Iain's voice on the show. "So so so happy they're using the UK narrator for the US ," one viewer said 

    Someone else defended him, writing: "Everyone complaining about the 'NEW' narrator obviously never watched the original series ofIt's a blessing we have him in the USA." Another viewer wrote: "People watching #LoveIslandUSA not knowing how iconic this narrator is, just say your uncultured."

    It's not known why Matthew is no longer narrating the show, but former host Arielle Vandenberg revealed that she had been replaced because bosses wanted to "rebrand" the show completely for the new season.

    Taking to Instagram last month, she told her followers: "I was cast to be the host of CBS's version of Love Island and we had 3 amazing seasons! Unfortunately, CBS didn't pick it up for a fourth season. The show is now going to Peacock and it being a different network, they are rebranding it completely, including a new narrator and new host."
