Love Island bosses have confirmed that the much-loved romance series will be returning this summer.
And ahead of the TV crew jetting off to Majorca to settle in for six weeks, the famous villa that houses the looking for love singletons is in need of a touch of TLC.
In snaps captured of the lavish mansion based in Spain, the huge pad - that features a stunning infinity pool, multiple sun lounging areas and cosy corners for frisky antics - appears bare and waiting for a revamp.
Upon closer inspection of the photos, it looks like some larger tasks need to be taken out on the home - if filming is to take place at the location - as there is a crumbling wall nearby the pool.
It seems that the space is currently being aired out - as the doors are all open to allow for ventilation and dust covers partially taken off furniture - following months of the building being shut up amid the pandemic.
ITV usually take up in the villa ahead of filming to ensure the decor suits the show.
They kit the outdoor area with brand new decking, artificial grass and add bright pops of colour with funky outdoor furniture and hang metres of festoon lighting as well as bright neon signs.
Fans will also know that there is usually a bar area erected in the sprawling back yard, an outdoor gym and a bubbling hot tub and the iconic fire pit is usually fitted in.
The ITV building team also have to create the hideaway outbuilding and get busy knocking up extra temporary buildings in the vicinity to ensure the producers, runners and team are able to watch the drama without interrupting the reality TV hopefuls as the cameras roll.
Last year, Love Island was pulled from the TV schedule due to the coronavirus pandemic.
But this year the show, that sees sexy singles looking for lasting romance, will return.
In March, Kevin Lygo, Managing Director of Media and Entertainment at ITV, said: "There’s so much to look forward to on ITV this spring and into summer, with the Euros and the return of Love Island, but much more besides."
It's not yet known who will host the new series of Love Island, as current presenter Laura Whitmore, who replaced Caroline Flack, recently welcomed her first child with husband Iain Stirling, who provides the reality show's hilarious voiceover.
It is thought that the 2021 series will be a "bumper" edition of the show.
While no details have yet been revealed, it's thought it could be a longer series with more contestants.
Show bosses said in 2020: "It was unfortunate we couldn't bring you Love Island this summer, but Love Island Australia performed very well for us, reaching over a million viewers for the final.
"With a huge appetite for the show we've made three Love Island specials where we catch up with some of the best known former islanders from the past six years.
"We're also already planning a bumper series of Love Island for next summer."
