Love Island line-up rumours see Newcastle singles linked with stint in villa

If sources are to be believed, there could be at least one Geordie on the new series of Love Island.

Since the show made its debut on ITV2 in 2015 there have been a number of singles from the region in the villa, with Newcastle nightlife promoter Chris Williamson the first to go in and more recently, ex Miss Newcastle Rebecca Gormley causing sparks to fly in Winter Love Island last year.

There has been one Geordie Love Island winner to date, Gateshead beauty therapist Amber Gill, who triumphed the last time Love Island was held in Majorca in the summer of 2019.

After suffering heartbreak at the hands of Michael Griffiths in a brutal Casa Amor blow, Amber went onto win alongside Irish rugby player Greg O'Shea, although their romance was short lived, with their split coming less than two months later.

Love Island will be back in Majorca for the first time in two years by the end of the month, with the Love Island start date being confirmed earlier this week as Monday, June 28.

And an insider has told ChronicleLive that "a few Geordies" have been approached to be on the show this year, adding: "Don't be surprised to see a Geordie girl at least."

The Love Island line-up rumours have cranked up a notch this year with everyone from an NHS doctor to a former WAG and even Gordon Ramsay's daughter linked.

Laura Whitmore is back as host for the new series with her other half, Iain Stirling, back in the voice over booth as narrator.

Over the past few weeks building teams have been snapped hard at work on Love Island's famous villa in Majorca, after initial fears that coronavirus would thwart plans for a second consecutive year.
