Just Eat is introducing a surprise islander to Love Island life to kick off its first official sponsorship of the hit show.

A new multi-channel platform created by McCann London, “Get Stuck In,” will see Derek, the Just Eat delivery driver, arrive onto the nation’s television screens as the hero of a new campaign that captures all the action of island life.

Launching on social this weekend with Derek’s very own VT, Derek will then enter the villa via a suite of idents on Sunday 12 January, corresponding with the launch of the first-ever Love Island winter series. The unexpected islander gets stuck in to all the familiar antics of the show: making slow motion entrances, competing in challenges and, like all the other lads, trying his luck with the ladies.

The idents, narrated by Love Island voiceover, Iain Stirling, will run on TV and on-demand services across ‘Love Island’, ‘Aftersun’ and ‘Unseen Bits’. They form part of a through the line campaign comprising social activity developed by Byte London, PR by Taylor Herring and experiential by Mission, alongside activation of Just Eat’s 35,700 restaurant partners. Just Eat will also feature in the popular ‘Love Island: The Morning After’ podcast.
