Major twist to winter Love Island revealed – and it will mean even more drama when the Casa bombshells arrive
LOVE Island bosses have made a huge change to Casa Amor that will deliver even more drama when the hit returns next month.
Producers have chosen a luxury home just feet away from the main house – right next to the action in South Africa.
It comes as Love Island prepares to return to our screens next month for only the second winter edition in its history.
A source said: “Casa Amor’s inhabitants have always been able to relax in the knowledge that the people they’re coupled up with are miles away.
“Well not any more – if there’s any wild partying going on, the main villa may well be able to hear it.
“This year, it really could be a case of having trouble with the neighbours as the bombshells try to crack couples apart.”
The Casa Amor stage of Love Island comes when the boys and girls are divided – with one group sent to live in a new house.
They are then tempted by a group of lusty new arrivals, while the same thing happens back at the main villa.
Having them so close together means the ITV show’s most controversial twist will be even more drama packed when it returns in January.
Casa Amor is one of the most anticipated moments in the show – bringing us shocks including Andrew Le Page hooking up with Coco Lodge behind Tasha Ghouri’s back.
The new villa is in South Africa’s Western Cape, an area packed with vineyards and popular with British holidaymakers.
Winter series of the programme are not filmed in the traditional hotspot of Majorca because the temperatures are too cold for the permanent swimwear the show is famous for.
However, there will also be a regular series in the summer months in the show’s usual home.
The Sun revealed in May that ITV was bringing back the winter edition of Love Island again in 2023.
ITV2’s Paul Mortimer said: “Rather than just serving up a Summer of Love, we thought we’d make 2023 the Year of Love with two full series of the show.”
In October Maya Jama, 28, was confirmed as the series’ new host replacing Laura Whitmore, 37.
