Love Island to have TWO series in 2020 - with new 'winter edition'

Love Island ends in less than a week, but fans need not be worried about how to get their fix - because next year there will be TWO series.

Love Island bosses have confirmed there will be an extra series of the dating show next year with a new winter edition.

In a series premiering in early 2020, viewers will get their first glimpse of a brand new villa in South Africa, reports Mirror Online.

The summer series we all know and love will then return to Europe later in the year.

ITV announced the plans for the show on July 24. Head of digital channels and acquisitions at ITV Paul Mortimer said: "Off the back of a record-breaking year, we're delighted to be bringing an extra series of our biggest and sunniest show to the 2020 schedule.

"Love Island has proven yet again to be the perfect format that engages younger audiences.

"In response to this viewer appetite, a new batch of young singletons will deliver some highly anticipated post-Christmas romance and drama from our new and luxurious location."

Angela Jain, managing director ITV Studios Entertainment, said: "We love making Love Island for ITV2.

"The show's success is testament to the magnificent production team that decamp to Mallorca every year to deliver the award-winning show with its trademark warmth, wit and wide-ranging appeal.

"And now 2020 is going to have even more love than before."
