When is the next series of Love Island? Show will be back on our screens 'sooner than you think'

As Love Island 2019 draws to a close, viewers won't have to wait a year for the next instalment.

ITV have confirmed that during 2020 there will be two series of Love Island on ITV2.

In early 2020 the show will be back in an all new location, with the first series of the year bringing the sunshine to viewers at home from a new villa in South Africa.

The summer series will then return to Europe for a summer of love closer to home.

Whilst no start-date has been confirmed yet, voiceover man Iain Stirling teased when we could see Love Island back on our screens.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain , Iain said: "Do you know what, it's gonna be an absolute blast.

"Winter Love Island is gonna come back sooner than you thought and it's gonna be enjoyable."

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."
