Love Island is almost back. And oh, we can't wait until we hear the theme tune on June 6. (Which, yes, is less than two weeks away - can you believe?) We know that the new series is going all out to get back ratings, with a brand-new villa in Majorcan_and_the fact the series is going on for ten weeks, instead of the usual eight. And now, excitingly, narrator Iain Stirling has said that we can expect this series to be the 'sexiest' yet. We didn't think we could be more excited, but...
Iain's comments follow reports that producers would be including a bigger than ever workout area in the villa, in the hopes contestants will be encouraged to then hook up. (The logic? Apparently working out will get the testosterone pumping... or so has been reported.)
Speaking to new! magazine, the comedian said: 'I’ve not seen the villa. I like to wait and see it on the first day and meet the Islanders for the first time, so I’m like a viewer seeing it for the first time, too. I know it’s got a fire pit because I talked about that in the trailer and I imagine if there’s more working out space it’ll be the sexiest series we’ve ever had.'
So, there you go. As always, there's already rumours flying around about who has been tapped up by bosses to star on the show.
The latest contestant to be rumoured is none other than Boyzone member Ronan Keating's daughter Missy Keating. And Ronan even addressed the rumours during an interview with Good Morning Britain. He said, 'I haven’t heard anything', although he did add, 'You never know. These kids are busy, all my kids, they’re all doing different things. I haven’t heard anything myself at the moment.'
Also rumoured is Pete Wicks' friend, influencer Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, along with Brad McDermott aka Zara McDermott's brother and Sophie Draper aka footballer Matty Cash's ex. You can take a look at the rest of the rumoured contestants here{
