Netflix's 'new Love Island' puts stars in luxury villa but bans them from kissing

Netflix 's latest venture has been dubbed the "new Love Island" as it sees stars being put into a luxury villa where they are encouraged to play flirty games.

The Too Hot To Handle series will see a lot of flirtation between the contestants, however the surprising twist of the series bans the stars from kissing or touching each other - something that is encouraged on Love Island.

What's more, is that every time a couple cheekily breaks the rules, cash will be taken out of the hefty $100,000 prize sum.

The show's contestants will be taking part in workshops which will allow them to get to know each other better than just lusting after their looks.

That way, the islanders will get to create deeper connection with each other which subsequently will make it more difficult to stay true to the no kissing rule.

The series' stars will see a Canadian travel influencer who has previously dated popular DJ Diplo, as well as an ex-semi-pro rugby player from London who has a first class degree in engineering.

Other contestants include former America’s Next Top Model finalist and a stunner from Essex who has her eyes on three of her villa mates.

The series comes as a stark contrast to the beloved ITV2 show Love Island, which does things a little differently.

Islanders are encouraged to share beds, kiss, cuddle and so on as they find that someone special who they can couple up with.

But Netflix has decided to throw a spanner in the works as they restrict physical contact during the search for love.
