Alright, Islanders. I’m Eoghan McDermott, the voice you hear stirring the pot and narrating all the madness on Love Island Australia. And now, I’m taking you behind the villa walls with the official podcast, Love Island Australia: Officially Unpacked.

 

Each episode, I’ll be reliving the biggest moments from the show. The hookups, the bust-ups, the bombshells and everything in between. I’ll chat with Islanders fresh from the villa, get the inside word and maybe even uncover a few secrets they hoped would stay on the cutting room floor.

 

If you love a bit of cheek, a laugh and all things Love Island, you’re in the right place. I’ll be right here after every episode goes to air, ready to help you unpack it all.

Grab your headphones, pour yourself something cold and let’s get Officially Unpacked.
