Love Island Winter Return ?
Love island winter edition could be on the cards since he cancellation of the summer edition, due to COVID19. A source has told news outlets ‘The location is up in the air, as Majorca would maybe be a bit chilly by September/October, but the Canary Islands could be possible.
The source continued:
‘Casting was well under way for the summer season, and producers don’t want to lose some of the gems they had hand-picked.
‘The winter series lacked a few standout characters. So they had been careful to find reality TV wannabes with looks as well as brains and personality.’
This will be welcome news for love island fans that were disappointed in the recent cancellation. The main reason the summer series was scrapped was to ensure safe guarding. Safe guarding would involve adhering to the 2 metre rule. For those who watch love island, you know its near impossible to film without the contestants closely interacting.
In a statement ITV director of entertainment explained further: ‘In normal circumstances we would be preparing very soon to travel out to the location in Mallorca. To get the villa ready but clearly that’s now out of the question.’
‘We are very sorry for fans of the show but making it safely is our prime concern and Love Island will be back stronger than ever in 2021.’
