Love Island: What is Casa Amor and who is going to be there?

Thursday evening's episode of Love Island treated fans of the reality show to an exciting revelation – that Casa Amor is due to make its highly-anticipated return.

Those who have never watched the ITV2 programme before may be confused as to what this second Spanish villa is.

First introduced as a surprise twist in the third series of Love Island in 2017, Casa Amor is situated a short distance away from the villa in which the islanders have been living for the past three weeks.

During Friday evening's episode, the female islanders will be sent to Casa Amor for a "mini break", while the male islanders stay behind in the current villa.

Both sets of islanders will then be joined by a group of new contestants, in a bid to test the connections they've forged on the show so far.

The female islanders will be joined by six new male contestants, while the male islanders will be joined by six new female contestants.

The new contestants include Ovie Soko, a professional basketball player; Joanna Chimonides, a recruitment consultant; George Rains, a builder; and Lavena Back, a business developer.

This year marks the first time that the female islanders have been sent to Casa Amor, as for the past two years the male islanders have been the ones granted a change of scenery.

Several Love Island fans expressed their excitement over the return of Casa Amor.

"I have never been more nervous but excited before in my life... it's Casa Amor daaaay," one person tweeted.

"I'm so excited for the Casa Amor because we finally get to see who the total liars are and who the genuine people are!" another viewer commented.
