Love Island Bosses Are Reportedly Working On A Winter Series

Love Island winter series

It's been reported that Love Island bosses are working on a winter version of the show.

The new series is expected to be filmed after Christmas in South Africa using the exact same format.

A TV source has been speaking to The Sun:

'After the flop of Survival of the Fittest producers want to keep the format simple and mop up the gaping hole Celebrity Big Brother left reality TV hungry audiences.'

'Winter Love Island makes sense as fans adore the drama and love triangles...'

'Everyone wants to enjoy a bit of sun on screens in the cold winter months.'

'It’s still in the very early stages and casting isn’t even close, but producers at ITV Studios and crew are definitely gearing up for it.'

Meanwhile, back in the villa one couple are at risk of being dumped from the show but who will it be?
