There will be two series of Love Island in 2020, TV bosses have announced.
Viewers will no longer have to wait a year for their next instalment of TV’s most talked about summer series, after ITV today confirmed that during 2020 there would be a second series on ITV2.
You won't have to worry about the post-Christmas blues because in early 2020 Love Island will be back in an all new location, with the first series of the year bringing the sunshine to viewers at home from a brand new villa in South Africa.
The summer series will then return to Europe for a summer of love closer to home.
The show went through the six million viewers mark for the first time this year.
Paul Mortimer, head of digital channels and acquisitions at ITV 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."
Love Island is the most watched programme of the year for adults aged 16-34, across any channel.
