Where is Winter Love Island 2020 filmed?

It's only been off screens for five months, following a summer of drama, love and a lot more drama.

But, instead of having to wait another five months for the next installment, Love Island is back and it's only January.

For the first time ITV has launched a winter version of its dating hit, meaning there will be two series in 2020.

And there's a lot of changes.

Of course we have a new set of Islanders - including 20-year-old twins Eve and Jess Gale, Manchester scaffolder Callum Jones, beauty consultant Siânnise Fudge and heir to the Lanhydrock estate Ollie Williams.

But we also have a brand new host AND filming location.

Laura Whitmore will present the latest run following Caroline Flack's assault charge in December.

The 34-year-old Irish star, who has had various presenting roles on TV and radio over the years, will also present the reality shows spin-off Aftersun.

Usually, those looking to find love would head to popular Brit holiday destination Mallorca in Spain.

And when the new winter series was announced, fans automatically thought that it would involve ski-lodges and chalets - but this couldn't be further from the truth.

Islanders are heading to South Africa as the new villa is located in Cape Town, and it will be just as plush as the Spanish villa - and reportedly twice the size. Space for more Islanders maybe?

It is the perfect winter sun location for the team as Cape Town enjoys hot, sunny days and with sunset not until after 8pm, there's plenty of daylight hours to capture all the developing drama.

Love Island airs on ITV2 at 9pm.
