Winter Love Island bosses reveal the type of people they want on the show

The dust has barely settled on Amber & Greg's shock Love Island 2019 win but show bosses have already got one eye firmly on next year.

Last week it was revealed that in a huge first for the hit ITV2 show, Love Island will get two series next year , with the debut of a winter run in January.

Winter Love Island will be set in South Africa, rather than Majorca, and it looks like producers have started the casting process already and have certain types of people in mind.

According to The Sun, one guy was approached already, with bosses asking if he was single.

He said: "I was a bit nervous about giving my name so they showed me an email where they’d been asked to find 'types'.

"On there, it listed twins, goth girls and Essex lads."

A TV source added: "As well as tens of thousands of people applying through ITV’s website this year, the show accepts contestants put forward by talent scouts and agents, and producers approach people on social media too."

This comes just days after it was reported that a number of this year's Love Island contestants, including Geordie winner Amber Gill, didn't actually apply for the series and were actually approached by the show to go on.

How to apply for Winter Love Island

Apply HERE if you are over 18 and you could be spending your winter in paradise.

The casting call reads "ITV2 are looking for vibrant singles from across the UK who want to head to the Winter sun, in search of love !

Reaction to Amber winning

"The chosen cast will spend time in a luxury villa, getting to know one another, but to remain in paradise they must win the hearts of the public and their fellow Islanders who ultimately decide their fate on Love Island."
