Love Island Could Be Pre-Recorded To Help Prepare Islanders For Fame

For most contestants, appearing on Love Island means instant fame and an abundance of Instagram followers. While this year’s series isn't going ahead due to the coronavirus pandemic, bosses are apparently considering shaking things up for the 2021 series. And one of the options is that the show might be pre-recorded to help prepare islanders for fame{ =nofollow}.

'The welfare of the islanders is the top priority for ITV bosses and there are continual talks about it,' a source toldThe Sun. 'Pre-recording the show is one of the ideas to be mooted in planning meetings.' As well as islanders being back in the UK when the series airs, it also means there would no longer be live evictions.

This summer's series has already been cancelle{ =nofollow}d, with host Laura Whitmore confirming the news earlier this month. 'Like with a lot of things because of restrictions with travel, social distancing and unable to plan ahead, Love Island is postponed until 2021,' she wrote on Twitter. 'Great news is that there have been more applications then any other series! Next year is going to be BIG. Stay safe.'

Love Island favourite Molly-Mae Hague revealed over the weekend that she went on the show 'as a business move' as she answered fans assumptions in a YouTube video. One read: 'You went on Love Island as a business move'. And Molly replied: 'That's a good one actually... Yeah I did, if I am being completely honest.' However, turns out Molly did find love on the show, as her and Tommy are the only couple to stay together from the 2019 series. Molly - who also revealed she has 'six figures' in her bank account - added, 'I went on there not really bothered if I found love or not, I found love... When you're not looking for something you find it.'
