Love Island UK is set to return for a series in 2021, according to its presenter Laura Whitmore.
Whitmore has told The Telegraph’s Stella magazine : “I have been told that it’s coming back. I love doing it, it’s such a fun show.
“And I actually think it’s been good to have had that break, for everyone who works on it, because we all went through a loss.
“It’s nice to realise how much people missed the show. Apparently applications are crazy this year.”
Whitmore joked about the ITV2 show, saying: “Let’s just pray the vaccines kick in.
“I’ve got a friend who jokes we should do Love Island Extra Baggage, with people who have ex-husbands and kids.
“Maybe if it’s only the older people that have been vaccinated, we’ll do that!”
Carolyn McCall, ITV2 Chief Executive, has spoken out in an interview and revealed the show’s future is still in question.
“I genuinely don’t know,” she said on Radio 4’s Media Show.
“We will want to put Love Island on air because it’s been off air for a little while, we didn’t do it last summer.
“We are looking at all our options at the moment because the pandemic makes it hard.”
Famous faces to have made a name for themselves on the ITV2 reality TV contest include the likes of Dr Alex George.
Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham were crowned winners in 2018, before 2019 saw Amber Gill win alongside Greg O’Shea.
Other faces to have appeared include the likes of Maura Higgins and Ovie Soko, as well as Molly-Mae Hague.
