Producers of the hit ITV reality TV show have revealed one big change they’re making for this season, as 12 single hopefuls enter the Majorcan villa in the search for love
With Love Island set to kick off, producers have been teasing a bigger and better than ever show, with several twists – including the showing of some sexy scenes.
ITV bosses say they will give fans the complete story this summer – and that includes sex scenes. Executive producer Mike Spencer-Hayter told the Mirror during a tour of the villa that they won’t shy away if things turn really racy. “If sex happens, we’ll show it,” he said. “The Hideaway will be open 24 hours.
“We need to keep the show fresh and exciting. After 10 years, the stats speak for themselves. The show will continue to thrive.
“We the producers need to stay ahead of the curve. The whole ‘twists and turns’ thing is about making the show fresh. We’re going to give it all we’ve got.”
The Daily Star spoke to some of the islanders before they enter the villa tonight (June 9). Ben Holbrough, 23, from Gloucester, is a taxi driver and model who is heading into the Majorcan villa in a bid to find love.
In a sad moment for all who still have provisionals, taxi driver Ben exclusively told us: “My red flag is someone who doesn’t drive and relies on me to drive them everywhere because I’m a taxi driver.
“I want my passenger Princess, I do. I like the thought of having it, but someone that relies on me too much just wants me to do everything all the time.
“And a girl who has no goals, there’s nothing going on for her. I need a girl that’s on her business.”
Ben revealed: “I like a confident girl, knows what she wants, career driven, is just bubbly and fun to be around. I like a girl that matches my very good energy – good energy is a big thing for me.”
