In addition to Love Island USA host Ariana Madix, there’s one other person who’s become a staple on Peacock‘s hit reality show. Though you might not know him for his “incredible skin,” he quips, you definitely could recognize his iconic British accent from anywhere.
Comedian Iain Stirling, who has been narrating the U.S. version since season four and the U.K. version going back to season one, reveals that he was “absolutely buzzing” to return to both shows again this year, even if it does limit his sleep for six weeks.
“I would like to make that very clear: there are nurses and doctors and firefighters and night shift workers all across America listening to me going, ‘Oh, for six weeks I’ve got to write 30 jokes instead of 20.’ So it’s absolutely fine. It’s a real honor,” he admits to The Hollywood Reporter.
For a comedian, getting paid to write jokes about hot single Islanders running around a beautiful villa in Fiji searching for love is likely a dream job. The unpredictable and chaotic nature of the show allows Stirling to bring playful jabs and timely jokes to his commentary that viewers have grown to love.
