We've got a text! Reports suggest that Love Island MIGHT actually happen this year after all.
At the start of this week, ITV released a statement confirming that the summer series of the smash hit ITV2 show wouldn't be happening due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"We have tried every which way to make Love Island this summer but logistically it’s just not possible to produce it in a way that safeguards the well being of everyone involved and that for us is the priority," ITV boss Kevin Lygo said.
He added: "In normal circumstances, we would be preparing very soon to travel out to the location in Mallorca to get the villa ready but clearly that’s now out of the question."
However, rumours are swirling that there still could be a Love Island before the year is through, with two big differences - it will happen later in the year and in a new location of the Canary Islands.
A source told The Sun on Sunday : “The location is up in the air, as Majorca would maybe be a bit chilly by September/October, but the Canary Islands could be possible.
“Casting was well under way for the summer season and producers don’t want to lose some of the gems they had hand-picked.
“The winter series lacked a few standout characters, so they had been careful to find reality TV wannabes with looks as well as brains and personality.”
