It's officially summer here in Britain, marked not by the longest day of the year but by the start of another season of ITV's Love Island.
With a total of 3.2million viewers for the last season, it's safe to say it's one of the UK's most popular shows with fans spanning the length and breadth of the country. So if you're going to be tuning in anyway, why not get paid for it?
That's exactly what's on offer from the luxury bedding company Secret Linen Store, which is giving one fan the chance to get paid for the pleasure of watching the drama-filled show.

The chosen candidate will have to do a few more things too for their £300 salary, namely listening to true crime podcasts, completing a skincare routine, and taking a calming bath or shower.
They'll need to submit a full written report each night, detailing how their routine helped them to relax and get ready for bed (or not), and noting down how well they slept as a result, over the course of a month.
The full list of duties involved as part of the job includes:
Watch the latest episode of Love Island.
Complete a minimum of three step skincare routine and take a calming bath or shower.
Listen to three different podcasts, including true crime, comedy, and news.
Cosy up with a book and a cup of tea.
Use Spotify or YouTube to complete a meditation exercise or yoga class.
At the end of the month, the chosen person will be paid £300 and gifted a Secret Linen Store bedding and nightwear set. It doesn't sound too shabby to us.
Speaking on the role, Molly Freshwater, co-founder of Secret Linen Store, said: “We’d love to give to give someone the opportunity to dedicate time in the evenings to relax, and to take on the important task of finding out the ultimate calming pre-bed routine.”
Applications are open now and will close on 3 July. You can apply here.

Korn announce huge Leeds gig on first UK tour in a decade
Korn have announced a major Manchester gig as part of a new UK tour – their first in more than a decade.
The nu metal legends will be heading to the First Direct Bank Arena later this year, making a monumental return to British shores.
And they’ve announced very special guests will be joining them on the tour too – support will come from Architects, as well as Youth Code.
Korn burst onto the scene back in 1991 with their seminal self-titled debut album, and have gone on to release a whopping 14 studio albums.
The Californian group have sold more than 40 million albums worldwide, collected two Grammy Awards, and headed out on countless world tours.
They’re often cited by newer bands as a major influence and have pushed the limits of the rock, alternative and metal genres.
The Ringer has described Korn as ‘a genuine movement in a way bands cannot be now’.
As well as performing in Leeds, Korn will play at venues across the UK including in Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, and London.
They’ll be joined by Architects, a British metalcore band who have continued to top the charts even after the tragic death of founding member, guitarist, and principal songwriter Tom Searle.
Korn will be at our very own First Direct Bank Arena on Monday 26 October, with pre-sale tickets available from Tuesday 17 March at 8am, before a general on-sale from Friday 20 March at 8am.
Run, don't walk - as we reckon these tickets will fly off the shelves.
A brand-new frozen yoghurt bar is set to open in Leeds this spring
Clementine Hall
The frozen yoghurt craze is on its way to Leeds as Kefiyo is set to open in Headingley very soon.
It's a phenomenon that has caught the attention of the TikTok girlies, with frozen yoghurt bars popping up in Manchester and going viral online.
The ice cold sweet treat is supposedly 'healthy' and with a slogan of 'eat Clean. feel Light. live Better.' - this new spot in Leeds seems to be going down that route too.m
Kefiyo will be opening in the old Sixes site on Ash Road in Headingley, and although we don't have a confirmed opening date we've got a feeling they'll be 'scooping' very soon.
The space is already sporting a super cute pastel green and pink exterior, and it's exactly matching the aesthetic that you'd expect with froyo.
Kefiyo will offer a range of frozen yoghurt flavours with a whole bunch of toppings for you to customise to your tastebuds, as well as fresh acai bowls.
Situated slap bang in the centre of Headingley, we've got a feeling it'll be very busy with students on their way to their morning lecture or at night for those looking for a sweet treat that doesn't feel too naughty.
We'll keep you updated on more Kefiyo updates as and when we find out.
But in the meantime, you can keep an eye on their socials here. We'll see you soon for a scoop Leeds.
