Love Island's Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay aren't going anywhere (and thank goodness) as their brand new TV series You vs. Chris and Kem will hit our screens tonight (July 16) on ITV2.

It might be a whole year since these two rapped their way into our lives, but they've exceeded the usual expectations of fast fame and seem as popular as ever. "People say your sell-by date is a year," Kem told Digital Spy. "[We're very lucky] that we've been offered another TV show."

The premise sees a move away from their fly-on-the-wall reality comfort zones, as we watch Chris and Kem take on a series of challenges in more of a gameshow-style setting.

"We're doing all sorts from camel racing, from waxing rugby players' bum holes, to gravy wrestling," Kem explained.

We're... intrigued?

As it turns out, the challenges that are set are decided by viewers, so that probably explains the 'lad bantz' nature of them.

"Everyone knows [we] are quite competitive," Kem said. "Day to day, everything we do is a challenge between us. We're kind of like big kids."

True fans of the pair – who had the whole nation backing their bromance in the Love Island villa – can expect to see more of what they know and love.

"Everyone's just buzzing because it's been so long since they've seen us," the Essex hairdresser said of reactions from fans. "I think seeing the promo clips as well, people are like, 'OK, this is different. This looks like what Chris and Kem were like on Love Island'."

"There isn't actually any synchronised swimming within this episode, unfortunately," Chris added, referencing that viral clip of his pal in the villa pool.

Ah, we can still dream.

You vs. Chris and Kem, starts 16 July on ITV2 at 10pm
