Love Island is set to make a big rule change for this weekend's Euros final.
This Sunday (July 14) will see England face off against Spain for the big title after triumphing against the Netherlands this week in the semi-finals.
While the ITV2 series usually cuts off the islanders from real-world events outside the villa, this weekend's final will make an exception.

Digital Spy understands that the Islanders will be allowed to watch the Euros final in the villa as it happens.
However, that night's episode of the reality show will not be rescheduled despite the game kicking off at 8pm, with Love Island due to air in its normal 9pm slot on ITV2 followed by Aftersun at 10pm.

In other Euros news, following Wednesday's (July 10) semi-final triumph, BBC soap EastEnders quickly added a topical reference to the events in a subsequent episode.
Comedian and Doctor Who star John Bishop has also received a backlash from some fans after rescheduling the time of his Sunday evening comedy stop in Wolverhampton to watch the Euros final.

The star told his social media followers that the 8pm show will move to that afternoon instead, Bishop explaining: "I know it won't suit everybody, so anyone who can't make it we'll give you a refund.
"But we're definitely gonna move the time to Sunday afternoon, cause there's no chance I'm gonna being doing it at 8 o'clock, cause I'm gonna be busy watching these boys."
While some called the move "unprofessional", others came to Bishop's defence, one suggesting that "no-one will be wanting to watch his show if wanting to see the match themselves".
Love Island airs on ITV2 and streams on ITVX.
