Winter Love Island has been cancelled with no new show until 2021

Love Island has announced they will not air until summer 2021 due to the coronavirus crisis. 

The ITV bosses have decided that the winter version of the series, which was previously shot in South Africa and hosted by Laura Whitmore, is cancelled.

A source said: “ITV want Love Island to be a huge success so have decided to put all their energy into making next summer’s series a bumper run, and not trying to force a Winter version given the uncertainty in the television industry still at this point.

“January 2021 seems a long way off but the process would be starting imminently and with certain restrictions still in place they don’t want to approach anything half-baked.”

The channel had already confirmed there wouldn’t be a summer series this year, and instead the Australian version from 2018 will be aired from ITV2 tonight. 

An ITV spokesman said: “Love Island UK will return bigger and better than ever with an extended run in summer 2021.”
