Love Island's 2021 series could be filmed right here in the UK, reports say.
Possible sites include Cornwall or Devon, according to The Sun, amid fears the usual Mallorca site may prove impossible due to travel restrictions.
A telly insider said: "Love Island is a huge franchise for the channel.
"As well as bringing in loads of much-needed younger viewers it’s a cash cow.
"But, as a precautionary measure, producers have looked at several UK sites to hold the series, so if travel restrictions remain strict they have a back-up plan.
"Cornwall has been optioned, as well as Torquay, the Isles of Scilly and even Barry Island, where Gavin and Stacey was filmed.
"ITV bosses are also worried about a fan backlash against the show if contestants are allowed to go away claiming work reasons but the rest of the country is still stuck at home.
"Of course, there are obvious weather restrictions with a UK location — and viewers will see a lot less skin."
ITV declined to comment when contacted by The Mirror.
The show - which has provided some of the most iconic British TV moments in recent years - usually films for eight weeks in Mallorca, kicking things off in June.
Laura Whitmore made her debut as host during the show's first ever winter edition early last year, but the summer version proved impossible because of the pandemic.
ITV's Director of Television, Kevin Lygo, said at the time: "Logistically it's just not possible to produce it."
It has run since 2015, and currently boasts sixth series to its name.
And the reports of a potential move come after ITV successfully pulled off I'm A Celebrity closer to home, swapping out the Aussie jungle for a derelict castle in Wales.
