THE iconic baby challenge is making a comeback to Love Island tonight but fans are feeling far from ready.
In the coming episodes, viewers will witness the Love Islanders coupled up and doing their best to take care of a screaming baby doll.
The Love Island challenge is supposed to truly test all of the sets of couples to see if they can keep their cool and successfully look after a little one.
For some, the challenge will bring them closer. But others may leave thinking twice about whether they wish to have children in the future.
Fans of the show are far from happy to hear the news though, taking to social media to express their disappointment in seeing the challenge return.
“We wanted the tweet challenge back!! No one cares about some f*** ass baby dolls,” said one user.
A second shared: “I actually hate the baby doll challenge. Lol this is when I stop watching”.
A third agrees: “There is nothing I hate more than the baby challenge, actively skip it everytime.”
The ITV2 show made the decision to axe the baby challenge after nine seasons back in 2023 to allow space to welcome new tasks and challenges to the show.
A sports day event was instead switched in place that year, and saw the Islanders competed in various athletic and silly games.
At the time, fans were sad to see the baby challenge go, deeming the replacement as 'boring and dull'.
One Twitter user shared: “All I wanted was Tyrella in the baby challenge. Was that too much to ask for???”.
But this year it seems that viewers feel the opposite way.
Lasting love has been found in the villa for ex-Islanders, including Molly-Mae Hague, 26, and Tommy Fury, 26, who made it through the baby challenge in 2019.
The couple, who briefly split in August last year, welcomed their first child, daughter Bambi, back in 2023.
With tensions already high between many of the duos in this year’s lineup, including Dejon and Meg, it’s going to be interesting seeing what unfolds.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.
