Get your Tinder passports ready for the ultimate virtual paradise for Love Island Australia fans. Tinder has teamed up with Love Island for ‘Swipe Island’
Aussies went crazy for Love Island UK this year, with data from Tinder revealing that mentions of ‘Love Island’ in bios increased seven-fold in June and July of this year, compared to January 2021.
As the series heads Down Under, Aussie Love Island fans will get the chance to land themselves their very own Summer of Love and match with their favourite Ex-Islanders from Seasons 1 & 2, as Tinder launches in-app experience, ‘Swipe Island’.
Launching on Monday 11th October Swipe Island is the ultimate virtual Love Island Australia experience, available exclusively on Tinder every Monday night during Love Island Australia Season Three.
Once there, Tinder members looking for a (holiday) romance can match and chat with other fans of the show, along with ex-Islanders from Seasons 1 and 2 of Love Island Australia.
The first two single ex-Islanders confirmed to be packing their virtual bags and heading to Tinder’s Swipe Island are Season 1 favourites, Millie Fuller and Teddy Briggs.
Fuller said: “I had a hell of a ride on Love Island Australia, and seem to be one of the only single ones left from my season so I am ready for a second shot! After the year we’ve had, there’s no doubt that this will be the Summer of Love, so I will be packing my virtual bags and heading to Swipe Island, see you there!”
Briggs said: “I didn’t find my perfect match in my season of Love Island Australia but I’m excited to head on over to Swipe Island and see who is out there this summer! I’m looking forward to meeting some new people, without the drama of the Villa.”
But that’s not it… Even non-Islanders are wanting a piece of the Swipe Island action, with Aussie music star, Peach PRC already confirmed to be joining the virtual paradise.
How Swipe Island Works:
- Swipe Island will be open from 6-11 pm, on Monday nights during Love Island Australia Series 3 (starting Monday 11th Oct)
- To get to Swipe Island, Tinder members can keep an eye out for special Swipe Cards and in-app messages.
- Once on Swipe Island, members will be able to match with other fans of the show as well as participating Ex- Love Island contestants who are on Tinder.
Love Island Australia Season 3 premieres on Monday, 11th October on Channel 9 and 9Now.
