Love Island 2019 filming has already started - but it's not too late to join this year's cast.
Speaking on today's This Morning, 2017 winner Kem Cetinay revealed some behind-the-scenes secrets ahead of the new series.
Caroline Flack sent fans into a frenzy as she confirmed filming starts this week and the new contestants have already been chosen.
However, Kem explained that Love Island bosses will make last-minute casting changes before the first episode and throughout the series.
Kem told presenters Holly Willougbhy and Phillip Schofield that his ex-girlfriend, Amber Davies, wasn't supposed to be in the original line-up.

While best pal Chris Hughes didn't know he would be entering the villa until the day before.
Kem said: "I knew really early. I knew eight weeks before the show started. I was training and dieting.
"Chris said he saw the first show with me in it then flew out the next day. He didn’t have a clue."
The application process is still open until April 30, but Kem revealed producers wil already have more contestants than they need.
He explained: "They also bring more than the original cast out there. They change it every day.
"Amber wasn’t meant to go in and they changed it at the last minute. They will decide as you’re out there who fits it at the time."
Kem revealed he was kept in hiding and had no phone, TV or newspapers while in a little village where no one could speak english.
The Love Island winner said: "I was confused with what’s going on. I didn’t have a clue what I was about to go into. It's really weird, you get pulled away from your whole life."
Kem got very embarrassed as he watched his audition tape back, where he described himself as "sexy, cheeky and naughty".
On the new series, he added: "I think everyone's summers are ready to be taken over."
Caroline made the filming announcement on Instagram as she filmed herself heading into the gym.
She said: "What's really exciting about this week is that we start filming for Love Island 2019.
"And by the end of the week I'm going to have potentially have seen the cast for this year which is really exciting - and mad that's it's come around this fast."
