Margot Robbie is "struggling" to get into the new series of 'Love Island'.

The 31-year-old actress - who is watching the episodes on a delay because she lives in the United States - loves the ITV2 dating show, but she hasn't been as gripped by the action in the villa this time round.

Appearing on ITV's 'Lorraine', she said: "The current season, I haven't really got into yet.

"I've struggled to get into this season but it's still early days, and with the lag time when you get the episodes in America, I'm a little behind. But I adore it, I adore the show."

However, she and 'The Suicide Squad' director James Gunn - who is also a big fan of the programme - chatted about the villa drama during filming for the comic book blockbuster.

She said: "I adore 'Love Island' so much. Do you know who else really loves 'Love Island'? Our director James Gunn, [he's] also a huge 'Love Island' fan.

"We would talk about it all the time. We probably spoke about 'Love Island' more than we spoke about this film while we were on set. We had our drink bottles on set."

The 'Wolf of Wall Street' star recently backed Liberty Poole as her "favourite" of this year's Islanders.

She said: "I love Liberty. She is my favourite, for sure. It’s incredible how much you care about these people you have never met."

And while Margot - who is married to Tom Ackerley - has taken her fandom to another level in the past by throwing herself a 'Love Island'-themed party, she wouldn't have ever gone into the villa herself to find a partner.

She added: "There is no way I was ever cool enough to be on it.

"I don’t think people want to spend a summer watching a girl who sits around and drinks beer and eats chips every evening.

"I am glad I found love the conventional way!"
