Only six out of 36 contestants {:rel=nofollow}applied to be on this year's Love Island.
That’s even though there's 98,000 applications every year, famously more than the number who apply to Oxford and Cambridge.
A parliamentary inquiry found that 24 were scouted by ITV's casting team, and another six were put forward by professional talent agents.
ITV chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall said, ‘The production team continuously looks for people who would be right for Love Island in terms of being able to be in the villa and the personality that they are required to have.’
Other reality shows such as The Jeremy Kyle Show and The Undateables are also being looked at by MPs on the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee.
She added, ‘I do not think they just look in that pond. I think they keep it quite open.
‘There are some people who go on Love Island who have never achieved any type of contract or agent or anything like that.’
ITV told Radio 1 Newsbeat that, 'everyone who is seen for the show goes through exactly the same process.'
This year, the finale of the ITV2 dating series was watched by 3.63 million, up slightly from the 3.56 million who tuned in to watch Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham win last year.
Next year, there are going to be two series of Love Island, with the first instalment happening in January from South Africa.
Paul Mortimer, Head of Digital Channels and Acquisitions at ITV, said, ‘Off the back of a record-breaking year, we're delighted to be bringing an extra series of our biggest and sunniest show to the 2020 schedule.
‘Love Island has proven yet again to be the perfect format that engages younger audiences.
‘In response to this viewer appetite, a new batch of young singletons will deliver some highly anticipated post-Christmas romance and drama from our new and luxurious location.
