A new trailer has dropped
A new trailer has confirmed that Love Island's latest series will indeed be returning before the month is out. The trailer, which features Iain Stirling making the announcement, shows a bunch of singletons (presumably actors) rushing into each others' arms. The fun-filled teaser also shows Laura Whitmore break open an emergency box with a hammer which reads 'In case of Love Island, crack on'. Recently, news broke that showrunners were looking for at least half of the contestants to be bisexual. Whilst this wouldn't be the first time that the show has had bisexual contestants, previous seasons have focused almost entirely on mixed-gender pairings.
A source reportedly said: "Love Island has always been inclusive – the only criteria is that you’re over 18 and looking for love.
"But this is the first year that finding contestants with more fluid sexuality has been part of the briefing."
The casting team are said to be "doing their best to tick that box" as they begin the search for contestants for the new series.
According to The Sun, the Love Island crew are flying out to Majorca on June 20th, and filming is expected to begin a week later.
