Last year's summer series was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
We're crying out to live vicariously through the drama of something other than a virus.
ITV bosses might be making many wishes come true, as they've told the Radio Times the series will return this summer.
They've said plans are for the new series to "return bigger and better than ever" and "with an extended run" this summer.
Irish star Laura Whitmore is set to return as host.

After the cancellation of the last series, Whitmore tweeted, "Next year is going to be BIG. Stay safe."
Further reports by The Sun newspaper suggest the season will go ahead this summer.
It says that the television bosses are making sure the series adheres to all coronavirus protocols.
"Obviously there’s always an element of risk but ITV bosses feel it’s time to get the Love Island cogs turning, with a view to it being made in early summer."
Where will the series be? Puerto Banús? Portlaoise?
Sadly the Emerald Isle is unlikely to provide the tropical backdrop needed for the ambience.
Narrator of the show, Iain Stirling, hinted in an interview with UK outlet Metro it might return to Spain.
"I’ve got so many friends that work on that show and we’d all love to get in the sun and go to Spain for a bit."
Rumours suggest Majorca, the usual home of the show, could be on the cards.
