LOVE Island fans are in for an unexpected new fix this summer — a run of reunion specials.
Executives are in talks with the reality show’s best loved stars to come face-to-face once again, this time in the UK.
Big names including Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, Paige Turley, Dani Dyer, Amber Gill, Olivia Attwood and Kem Cetinay are among the favourites ITV wants to sign up after the pandemic forced it to scrap the regular series.
Details are being tightly guarded but it is expected the series will also feature clips of the best moments to raise emotions and tension.
A source said: “ITV were gutted about pulling the plug on Love Island.
“It’s one of their most popular shows and also a huge commercial success.
“It just wasn’t feasible to go off to Mallorca and shoot at the villa, but this is a great way to get the show on air and give fans something to tide them over before it can return properly.
“Hopefully, the best-remembered names will agree to take part as it would be brilliant to see how they get on a few years later after so much has gone on in their lives.
“It could rekindle romantic feelings but it could also just start a load of old rows, especially as there have been a lot of messy break-ups and friendship changes.”
The new-look show was relaunched in 2015 and at its peak has hauled in more than 6million viewers. Some stars from the show have gone on to make a fortune.
