Love Island stripped back the amount of sexual content which was aired on-screen in recent years.
From Terry and Emma having sex on top of the covers in a room full of fellow islanders, the ITV2 dating show has come a long way and fans will never see the actual romps taking place.

The show will now feature sexual innuendos and cheeky messages rather than too much detail, but the islanders are still as open as they choose to be on the show.
Executive Producer Mike Spencer told Daily Star and other press that he thinks the conversation of sex is important to share on the show.

When speaking about the islanders having sex and talking about it too, he said: “I think it’s so important what’s said. Like the conversation with Tanya [Manhenga] being so open about sex. It shouldn’t be taboo in any way.
“It creates a conversation but it’s always better to spark a conversation than to not get people talking and discuss these things.”
Mike continued: “Sex is between consenting adults and it’s totally up to you. If you’re going to have sex in there, just have safe sex. That’s it. We don’t encourage it.”

However, one thing that is encouraged for the islanders is the occasional one on one time in the hideaway.
The room is always kitted out with lingerie, sexy accessories and dim lighting – with condoms added to make sure the islanders are having safe sex when in the villa.
Mike teased: “Expect body paint and lingerie,” as he confirmed they’re working with Ann Summers once again to provide the cheeky outfits.

Fresh islanders will be heading into the villa next week in a bid to try and find romance – and the public will have their opportunity to try and do their own matchmaking.
Love Island confirmed that the public will be deciding which islanders couple up in the opening episode by voting via the Love Island app on Thursday morning.
The vote closes on Friday evening at 9pm ahead of the first episode on Monday, June 5 at 9pm.
Love Island starts Monday 5th June at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
