Love Island 2023 chaos as show bosses rush to finish villa ahead of new series start

Love Island bosses are rushing to get the dating show’s luxury villa ready in time for its new winter series due to start in January.

The brand-new pad in South Africa is being given a “complete makeover”, ready for a new set of singletons to arrive.

The property has a huge T-shaped pool and is surrounded by incredible views, although sources have told The Sun that the villa still needs more work ahead of the looming start date.

They said: “The villa is getting a complete makeover – it’ll be bigger and better than ever,” adding: “The firepit is back and absolutely huge; they’ve built a bridge-type structure over the pool so islanders don’t have to walk all the way to confront love rivals.

“Plus, it’s covered in neon signs that fans will recognise from the original villa.” According to The Sun, the villa costs £450 a night to rent.

The villa is said to be eco friendly and runs off grid by generating its own electricity and water, and behind it is what appears to be a running track lined with trees.

The new show, which will feature on ITV2, will be hosted by Maya Jama for the first time after she took on the role from her predecessor Laura Whitmore.

Maya will also be presenting the summer version of the show, which will be set in Majorca, and said she was excited at “hosting one of the nation’s favourite shows”.
